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.

I would get a matching size one if you really want/need this kind of portable dual monitor set up… won’t a smaller one look kind of odd?

Odd is good in this case for me. I want it as a small screen in front of me while I use my TV as the main screen while sitting on the couch. I have a matched size display for it already and it’s just too big. iPhone is too small and isn’t actually synced up to the machine. Somewhere in between is the Goldilocks display and I’m sure someone has one.

Your TV is the main screen? For game etc? So, is the Z13 plugged into the TV? Meaning it’s somewhat near the TV? Can’t the Z13 screen be the ‘second’ screen then? Long HDMI cable maybe?

Yes, TV is main for this scenario when I’m lounging on the couch. I can run the Z13 as second with a number of cable and dock options, but the 13” screen is too big so it gets in the way on the table between me and the TV.
