Functions fine but quite small and clunky to carry

I have been looking for a small external monitor to attach to my laptop when doing work at home or during travel. I bought this one because it was apparently light, compact, and well functioning (and favorably reviewed). It does work well and is indeed easy to use. However, several things -- some of which I knew in advance -- are being a drag, now that I have been using it for a couple of months. First, the screen is quite small (which I should have know), which makes text hard to read. It's OK to watch video, but difficult for tasks that require actual reading. Second; it is powered through an external AC source, which forces you to carry a power adapter when you travel, be near a power outlet when you work, and have an extra cable around your machine when you use it (see picture). Third, it does not have a built in stand. Instead, it comes shipped with a detached stand, which is an extra thing to carry around (without losing) when you travel. Overall, I'd say I wish I had bought a slightly larger and nominally heavier one with an integrated power connection through USB. Other ones may be a little heavier on paper, but in the end less cumbersome to carry around and use.
