Does anyone know of a flat screen that you can put on the table - ideally with touch? Not a large tablet. Just a screen.

Obviously, I am thinking of a portable way to use digital maps in my games. I know of rollable oled displays but they basically don't exist for the regular market yet and have a somewhat limited lifespan. Would be fine with an unfoldable but flat screen that fits into a large laptop back. Wouldn't be for all scenarios. Just some

The only solution like this i've seen before is custom tables where people build a cheap TV into a table with a glass tabletop. Quick poke around the web suggests that this is the cheapest ready-made version of that option.

ye, I saw some offers in that regard but it's hardly portable.

Idk if you can find something that is a good size for that, AND fairly portable. No one else seems to be chiming in and I wanna be helpful, so I went to rtings and filtered down to TVs that are super thin and relatively affordable. Doesn't get you a touchscreen, but maybe one of these would be good for you? https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/table/177723

Yea it's tough. Thanks for helping! The issue with non-touch solutions is that they probably get damaged over time when shoving minions on them.

Yeah that makes sense. I guess you would have to engineer some sort of screen protector solution in that case? Maybe someone makes custom ones on etsy or something?
