I had an alert for this monitor on 3C. Looks like the price is ATL. Official Lenovo website has this for $285.01 but it's out of stock.
Thinking about grabbing it for "working from home" while away from home unless anyone else has better option?

I’ve been using a cheaper 15” for the last year that’s been solid. One advantage of the Chinese ones is they have built in hardware for Switch, so no dock needed just USB-C.

I have this (paid $185 at the time) but lots of other brands with 1080p IPS, most should be comparable.

If you're looking for an external monitor, might be best to hold off for the new Yoga X tablet. It will double as both: https://www.slashgear.com/lenovo-yoga-x ... -05671732/

1080p @ 60 for a portable is decent no? What do you need in a monitor of this type? 4k @120?

Pre-COVID when I worked for a consulting firm and was always on the move, I used this:

Canada Computers used to sell it for <$200 but ASUS seems to have replaced this model with the ZenScreen for more $$$.

99% sure thats a no. It requires USB C Alt Mode and don't think any adapters will work going from HDMI to USB-C Alt Mode. Youtube seems to agree.

I got this for $102 open box from Mikes clearance a while ago so this price seems high to me but I guess that Mikes clearance was better than I thought. Build quality is excellent, screen quality is good for a portable. USB-C input only (wish it had just about anything else in addition so I could plug it into any of my headless servers for maintenance/troubleshooting). There ARE adapters out there for HDMI/DP to USB-C but they are all expensive... going the other way around from USB-C to HDMI/DP requires no active circuitry and none of the cheap adapters will work in the other direction.

I have this one. I got it on sale for like $180. It's a bit dim for my liking, but it does the job. As all the inputs I need and can run off of a single usb-c cable.

This is also possible with software and any Android tablet, iPad, etc. using spacedesk and other utilities. Not as convenient but very useable.

What about using an Android tablet or iPad as external monitor? --- there are quite a few alternatives / tools and ways to get this done. A cursory Google search yields (random choices, just took first search matches):

How to Use an Android Device as a Second Monitor for Your PC or Mac

How to repurpose a phone or tablet into a second screen
