    Recommend a portable monitor.

    Need one that can connect to a laptop. Don't care if its usb connection or vga or hdmi. Or power over USB.

    Just for websurfing and doing word and pdf docs... Need one that can fold up and be carried in a back pack. Don't need 4k or anything else gamer related.

    I... wouldn't trust a review of something where the website's name is the name of the review. It's usually just clickbait and most of the time wrong/fake.

    Portable monitors? Check.

    Portable monitors small enough to fit into a backpack? Check.

    Portable monitors that are full-size (19"+) that fold up and fit into a backpack? Nope. Not a thing.

    Your best bet may actually be to get a mini projector screen (i saw one that was like.. 20" or something with a little stand) and a pico projector.

    Mini projector and a piece of white cloth. Projector is small enough to fit in the back pack and the cloth will provide the folding feature
    All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

    I want two screens... the laptop and another one. I guess it doesn't have to fold up... but can be a laptop size 15-16" same size as a laptop more or less.

    I know, but gives an idea of available models, you can check other sites for more info or more in depth reviews.

    I think you can consider the Kiperline portable monitor, because I think it can meet your basic requirements, and its price is very cheap.

    Yeah, the only kind of """portable""" monitor you're gonna get is a mini projector hooked up to the laptop's DVI/HDMI-out.

    I have this one, its decent. I use it when I am in the field.

    If you want touch screen theres this. I havent used it so I cant speak for its durability.
