<p>Logitech (among a few others) also have integrations whereby you
add your android device to their app and it appears as an
auxilliary screen. Corsair also sells a little screen that plugs
into USB and has various plugins ... and an input scheme.</p>
<p>You can also do what you say with a Pi in various configs.</p>
<p>There are also Pi-focused displays that accept HDMI input and
give USB mouse output that can also be plugged into winblows.<br>

<div>There are times when having an extra small monitor is a
good thing. Here is a video I saw last week on using an HDMI
to USB capture device to turn an Android phone/tablet into a
monitor.</div>

<div>The specific examples shown in the video are with a
Raspberry Pi model 4 and model 400 but this should work with
any device that has HDMI video out.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I bought a different make/model of capture than in the
video (this one : <a
href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08LSLTMCR"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08LSLTMCR</a>
). With some caveats it works. The capture device doesn't get
along with my old Kobo Android tablet or oldish Samsung Phone,
not sure why. The video capture does get along fine with my
2018 7" Amazon Fire tablet. Using this set-up you will be
somewhat limited by the battery life of the tablet, but
otherwise for things like when visiting an acting up server
and you need a (or an extra) monitor this could be just the
thing. Just stuff the video capture device, a few cables, plus
a tablet into a large pocket and you're set.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You will need some software on your tablet to support the
video capture. I tried the two programs mentioned in the video
and VASTLY prefered the "USB Camera Standard" as the other
program puts its' own banner ads across the bottom of the
screen... :-( .</div>

<div>All the best and I will hope to see everyone in 2021</div>
