Hey, bit of a noob question, but can the portable monitor be plugged into a mains charger whilst also being used as a second screen. I realise you could just plug the laptop in, but I was wondering whether that might make it run hot...

I've never had issues with charging my laptop whilst using a portable monitor. Power draw on mine is 1.3A @ 5V which is pretty low compared to the total laptop power. It's only like having a phone plugged in to your laptop.

I think so. Definitely I can plug it in and use with HDMI (which doesn't deliver power). Some of them like the Lenovo m14 will take power and pass through to the laptop.

All 4 are frustratingly mismatched sizes.
Bottom left is the new one - an MSI portable screen for working away from home or when my partner visits without needing storage space for a whole normal screen. Seems pretty great!
