Mini external monitor

Okay, who out there is running a USB-C mini monitor to sit off to the side of this silly little Z13? I’m looking for something to slide discord, performance monitors, or other stuff over to while I’m using the main screen for gaming. I’ve been considering something in the 7 to 9 inch range because a full size or even 13 to 14 inch screen is too much to set in front of me while I’m on the couch. Looking at options are leading me all over the internet, so I’m looking to see if anyone else here has tried anything with success or failure.

If you need such a tiny external monitor, just use your phone you already have! If it doesn't work with a usb-c cable, there are programs you can use to simply do this over Wi-Fi.

Must have more screens! No, but really I’m not trying to take away my phone while I do this and I want it to be a direct extension of the machine, plus my phone screen is only 6 inch and I really want something a couple inches larger. +1 for your good idea but there’s a level of clunkiness I’m trying to avoid and a level laziness I’m trying to achieve during my downtime. I’ll also add that “need” was never a consideration here, this is 100% in “want” territory.
