Ah, large sized travel monitors. I am reasonably (unreasonably, really) well versed in this topic although my interest leans towards carry on sized monitors. I started looking almost a decade ago... http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/1080p-travel-monitor.603212/ http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/1080p-travel-monitor... and there are no good solutions still.
The best monitor when looking at physical formats is the Asus PQ22UC. It has a fantastic little folding stand and less than five pounds even with that. Of course, the price immediately kills the party. Wish they released a FHD version of it.
The next best is the AOC E2351f. It's 5.5 lb with a stand that disassembles well. The 21.7" length alone however makes it near impossible to fit it in a reasonable carry on.
The one that is actually carry on friendly is the Sharp LL-S201A. The stand is a problem with that one, I admit. It's 5.1 lbs without stand and stand wise I do not have a great solution. https://www.instructables.com/id/Lego-Folding-Tablet-Stand/ https://www.instructables.com/id/Lego-Folding-Tablet-Stand/ this holds it up for a while and then some parts bend because it's not meant to hold something this heavy. But while it works, no question it's the lightest possible stand :) Or you could use the K&M 19685 to adapt it to tripods and use a travel tripod with removable head. The K&M 19685 is the only affordable VESA-to-tripod adapter I am aware of but it's alas 1.366 lbs and a bit bulky. The VESA stand visible on https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81SC5mDeNdL._AC_SL1500_.jpg https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81SC5mDeNdL... has a few problems: it doesn't fold fully flat and it's impossible to buy these days.

However, since the new Club 3D DP 1.4 MST hub makes both of my PackedPixels work with the ThinkPad 25 I have, I am simply flying with those, makes life easy. I posted the first quick test and a comparison to the venerable W701ds to https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/portable-lcd-monitors-for-work-and-gaming-recommendations.2089/page-34#post-184348 https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/portable-lcd-monit... and have found a personal item sized bag which easily hosts the PackedPixels and the laptop https://www.reddit.com/r/ManyBaggers/comments/f40dz2/herschel_gibson_large_very_nice_personal_item/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ManyBaggers/comments/f40dz2/hersche... so for me, for now, this problem is solved.
