Anyone familiar with portable monitors?

[Richeh]

I currently use my 65" OLED as the main screen for my PC. The PC is about 7 feet away from where I sit. 99% of the time it is used for movies, TV shows, Youtube etc

Basically I seem to have developed ADHD in my old age! I miss playing games - not react shooters or anything as i'm more of a strategy person but I also seem unable to just play a game from my sofa (wireless KB&M) and 'need' to have something on in the background if im playing a slow paced single player game, think Anno, Two Point Hospital etc

I have 3 monitors on a computer desk next to my PC but as I don't use my desk at present was looking at the idea of something like a 16" portable monitor to sit on a little table I have in front of me.

My question is, what are the least amount of cables required for one? In an ideal world it would be wireless HDMI and battery powered ergo no leads whatsoever but think is a bit of an overreach! What are some cheaper monitors with the least amount of cables that people would recommend? AFAIK I could use a USB-C powered monitor which would also include the video signal? Any better options?

Cheers.

I have an LG Gram+ 16" monitor running off a single usb-c cable. Works brilliantly

I used various portable monitors along with my main monitor including ROG 17 inch portable but now using a 13 inch OLED portable monitor that was like £70 delivered and its just blows everything away. Youtube / netflix / spotify in the 13 inch compliments my main monitor

I've got a cheap portable that'll either run from USB power + HDMI in, or will take a singe USB for power & data.

I got mine direct from china, took 1-2 weeks to arrive iirc, but cost me about £40. It's great for what I want it for (essentially just a 2nd screen for more work type stuff on an occasional basis), can't say I've tried it with games though but as long as you're prepared for the screen quality to be quite "meh", it'll be fine.
