The best portable monitors I know of (and I have an entire collection of 22-ish full HD monitors in search of the Holy Grail which is a carry on sized full HD monitor as large as possible but they don't make cheap thin 19-20 full HD monitors) are the top half of this shop https://shop57714512.world.taobao.com/ Use Superbuy as your taobao proxy. These are tripod mountable full HD IPS monitors with a CNC machined case and a driver board. Very basic but has all you need. If you prefer aliexpress, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1920-1080-17-3-inch-IPS-Disp... and https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2ms-15-6-inch-1920x1080-IPS-... and so on seems to be the same thing.

Another solution is https://www.packedpixels.com/ but the size is not so great.

I currently carry a Sharp LL-S201A which is slightly larger than the above ones -- I got a great deal off eBay for once. If I didn't then probably I'd get one of the 17" ones above -- the Sharp needs a VESA mount which makes things unwieldly.

Ps. packedpixels are small but their height of 240mm closely matches the height of the ThinkPad 25/T470 of 232.5mm . An USB C to dual DisplayPort MST hub and a charger like https://smile.amazon.com/Charger-Premium-MacBook-Convert-Tos... could provide for two of those on both sides of the display (45W for laptop, 15W for the displays, you could even charge your phone while at it). It's an option.
