I looked at this recently and it seemed like it was unlikely to to work for my use, which was to get a Desktop's screen on to a Surface Pro, in order to use it as a graphics tablet, but with the greater processing power of the desktop. I'll be chuffed if I'm proved wrong though.

The portable, USB-powered monitors are neat. This kind of thing
https://www.amazon.co.uk/AOC-I1659FWUX-16-Inch-portable-Monitor/dp/B07DKTPH6GJust one USB cable for power and monitor connection and half as thick as a laptop means it's easy to put up/take down.
The one I have (not the above one) I use with one of these stands https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007FNF5IC/ as the supplied ones are a bit bulky.
I've tried to use Miracast in the past and it was always a ballache. I guess it may be better nowadays.

I looked at this and similar to cast from linux / windows to android / rassbian.
Nothing came of it, unfortunately.
Wireless HDMI extenders are a possibility, but the hardware is pricey.

Has anyone used Miracast "Projecting" on W10 to set up a 2nd spare laptop screen as a second screen?
We're WFH and I keep trying to work out a neat way to have a second screen, a laptop that can be put away sounds better than a monitor permanently living on our dinning room table.
Just wanted some user experience before I spend time on something only to find out it's painful and unusable irl.
