    This is my external portable monitor that I usually take with me for my computer. It gets power and video from one USB C cable it works with any computer that can do video over USB-C. It also works with my iPhone with a standard USB C cable.

    I also have a USB C to HDMI cable.

    Yeah, I plugged mine into my tv a few weeks ago, using a USB-C dock, so I could play the new Katamari game on the 65" screen.

    With a ps5 controller hooked up via bluetooth, it was just like having a console.

    You can therefore stick a sim in a dumb phone. And still jave a desktop smartphone for any bank or service that demands an app.

    By using a monitor you psychologically change the device from a time sink to a tool.
