Portable monitor for steamdeck? (sh.itjust.works)

I am in need of some help. I'm trying to find a good portable monitor for my steamdeck. I don't need it to be huge, 12inches minimum, but I'm not having much luck with my own research. I would like low latency, high refresh rate, and colors as close to the same as on the og LCD deck (which is what I have).

I have the official dock, so it would need to be able to connect through that as well.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm not trying to be a dick but I'm genuinely curious why you would want a portable monitor to use with your portable deck?

I do this for LAN parties. Easier to fly with a steam deck and portable monitor than my desktop. I'm not looking to buy a gaming laptop just for LANs.

Sorry for the belated reply.

For the bigger screen and portability. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be. My gaming laptop's fans are dying, and this would be cheaper than a new laptop (sadly, it's also showing it's age and cannot be upgraded further). I use my deck at home 99.99% of the time so it wouldn't be much more to setup a monitor along with it.
