discussion Which noname monitorS? Vesa, Touch, LIGHT!

[Marzipan]

So I've got a fun project going on that I haven't really mentioned here. Without spoiling, my monitors of choice, two Planar PCT2485s... are just too heavy.

So I'm looking for lightweight, touchscreen monitors, that have a vesa mounting pattern. Problem is, not many (or no) name brands really seem to make them? Everything on Amazon looks like it was spelled by my cat stepping on the keyboard.

So yeah, looking for suggestions!
Absolute musts:
- Touchscreen
- 1080p
- 14" diagonal
- Vesa 100x100 or 75x75
- UNDER 10lbs each, give or take

Nice to haves:
- 4k
- Ports on the back (who the #$%& decided portable monitors all needed to plug into the outer edges with flimsy connectors? One smack and broken, bleh)
- 18-20" or bigger. 27" max (maybe)
- Under 8lbs
- Name brand

If possible:
- OLED? I'm always a sucker for OLEDs
- HDMI + 4k, 120hz?
- Durable glass coating, Gorillaglass?
- Thin bezels

As always, thanks in advance HWC. I'm starting to dig through reviews of all these cheap, weird, nonsense -named monitors. Just hoping someone else has already found some good ones.

Thanks for the idea. I do like UPerfect monitors, but they were just too expensive.

I went with these:
GeeekPi 18.5
$250 for 2x 18.5 inch 1080p touchscreens as opposed to $500 for one 22inch 2k touchscreen. More resolution on only a very slightly larger screen wasn't going to give me what zi wanted. I went with two 18.5s @ 1080p and am Attempting to stack them vertically... should I post about that?

I keep forgetting to mention it here (on HWC). My in-progress setup to start streaming: medical-grade, 6ft long monitor arm holding two touchscreens, a mini keyboard, mouse, mini mixer and an Elgato Streamdeck XL.

Edit: sorry for the 4x attempts to make the link work... bleh.
