Creative solution, nicely done.
For 15 years I traveled with some flavor of 23"/24" monitor, putting it into my checked bag, and paying that checked bag fee over and over and over (probably $5K USD over the years).
This year I scrapped the big monitor setup and got an ultra lightweight 16" USB-C powered monitor along with a Dell Precision 5540.
Now I just stuff everything into an REI Trail pack (40L) and walk on the plane, it's beautiful. Pack weight is around 7KG, which works for most airlines in the world.
No longer muling around tons of gear is wonderful. Not sure what I was thinking, the extra screen real estate isn't that important to my work, two screens about 16" is enough.
Here's the 16" external monitor [1], out of stock presently, but can vouch for it, great addition to the toolbox.

- savrajsingh 7y agoWhat is your job where you travel with an external monitor?
