It appears that style is making a comeback on some startups and tech products’ marketing pages. The first time I saw it was for Orion[0]

Wow; never knew I needed this until now! What a great idea, cheap hdmi-to-usb c dongle to use an ipad as an external monitor

If you're looking to use the iPad as a secondary display for a Mac, this functionality is built-in and wireless.

Ah thanks, I know... but no, I'm always fussing with monitors when i have to resuscitate little computers likeraspberry pies, a nvidia jetson, etc.

This is a much more convenient solution

I figured that was the case, but just wanted to make sure.

My dad asked for a portable USB monitor for Christmas and someone got it for him. He mentioned he could now have dual monitors when traveling. I casually mentioned he could have triple monitors, using an iPad as well, and he had completely forgotten that was a feature. He likely would have not asked for the monitor had he remembered (he has 2 iPads he already travels with).
