iPad as a laptop replacement

That would be a downgrade from a 4.5k 24” iMac screen

The Studio Display is great, but I use a LG UltraFine 4K monitor I picked up for around $150 refurbished. Is it as good as the iMac or a Studio Display? Probably not. But it’s fine for my purposes.

$150? That's a pretty good deal. I use a portable 4k 15" monitor... had it for over a year now. I want an OLED 4k portable monitor... but difficult to find one that's reasonably priced. Then I want VESA compatibility as well, so the options are very slim.

Yeah, I got a great deal on it, and I’ve been really happy with it. 👍🏻. I really like how LG processes colors stock on their displays. My monitor perfectly matched the color processing on my iPad’s display, I didn’t have to make any adjustments to get it where I wanted it. 👍🏻. While it isn’t as high res as the display on an iMac or Studio Display, the difference between 4K and 5K isn’t very noticeable to me on that size of monitor at an average viewing distance. But I totally understand why some people would want to go with higher res displays, I was just on a budget and I don’t need any higher than 4K for my use-case, so it was a good fit for me. 👍🏻

Oh cool, what brand of portable monitor did you get? OLED on a portable monitor would make a lot of sense, I’m kind of surprised they’re not more common. I remember you mentioning you use a portable monitor, and you may have shared a link, but I forget. I haven’t seen as many 4k options in the portable monitors. I’m thinking about eventually getting an inexpensive portable monitor (probably 1080P) for some extra screen real estate when I’m on the go or away from my desk for my 3D modeling/sculpting workflow, and a couple other things. 👍🏻.

Would an adapter plate like this work?
