Any recommendations on small portable HDMI monitors/ touchscreens for use in the field with Stellarmate? What's the min resolution you'd go for?

This is a bit subjective, but personally I wouldn't do less than 1280x720. There are a number of 10.1" with HDMI that have that resolution or more. At 10.1 things get kind of small. I just don't think kstars/ekos will fit properly on 1024x600 or 800x480.

I do use ELECROW 10.1 Monitor at 1920x1080 for several years while in the field.
Small but completely usable.
Power it from a small Talentcell 12V battery.

Yeah, anything smaller than 1080p would be really tight! But I'm actually not planning to use KStars and Ekos from it much, if ever. Just enough to get into the desktop and see that it is in fact booting OK and see what's up with the network.
