Just to make sure, trying to think outside the box, what do you need: --needs to operate from a battery, or is AC enough? --could an adapter to the TV in a hotel room suffice? --an HDMI frame grabber connecting to USB on a tablet computer? The latter is from a not recently travelling person, not sure if hotel TVs might have an accessible port for connecting a computer to. Most home TVs have HDMI input and laptops HDMI output, so all you'd need would be a (possibly long) cable. otherwise various conversion adapters are available. also, as a non-user, can VR headsets connect to a computer to give you a virtual screen as tall as the ceiling, and 360 degrees around the room? Unless your needs are special and/or light weight, you can visit a thrift store and get last years flatscreens for peanuts. Go to the wealthiest community around, in the poorer areas, the 1024x768 displays start at $20, in the wealthy areas, the pivot 1920x1280 displays go for $10-$15. And if you drop it, or airline loses it, just go get another. I used an HDMI frame grabber to take the display from one notebook computer and share it in a zoom session on a desktop computer, to show real time what happens with an unusual operating system on the notebook, or installation of an OS on that notebook. <pre>--Carey</pre>

Anyone got recommendations?
I’m not looking for anything fancy, just something that I can use occasionally that won’t die after a dozen or so uses.
I travel once a month and I’m getting too old to rely on just the laptop screen.
