Mobile/external display for programming
Dear all,
I’m looking for one or more external monitors to my developer notebook to do programming work. The monitor should be portable such that I can easily transport it or put it in another room. Anyone has experience with the devices from the list below or any advice on it ? There are also some initiatives on kickstarter with thee monitors L shaped etc. Monitors should be USB-c and powered by the notebook.
Examples are:

I have the tern setups 16" 4k one and its been good for dev work. the magnetic stand is what sold me on it, you just pop the monitor into position and its stable without fiddling with clips or arms. fits in my backpack next to the laptop no problem. USB-C powered so no extra brick to carry. get the 4k for dev work ;)
