Portable, USB-powered monitors like these would be even easier to set up:

I bought a 15.6" one a while back; the folding cover is held on by a couple
of screws that you could most likely repurpose for some other sort of mount.
15.6" seems to be the most common size, though I found a couple of 12.5"
screens (at a higher price) without too much searching.  Prices start around
$125.  I've used mine with my notebooks, with Raspberry Pis (useful for
troubleshooting the ones on my 3D printers), and even an Apple IIGS (through
an RGB-to-HDMI converter).
