You are welcome.


Using two monitors should work just fine on a 2015 Mac. You’d use a 4K HDMI cable for each screen. If you have no HDMI Port, then use this adapter: Belkin USB-C to HDMI Adapter - Apple

Based on Personal Experience:

I use the following projector on my wall, and it works just fine with my Beats by Dr. Dre Pill Speaker. A Mac only takes up to two extender monitors. Some only take one.

Getting a Portable Monitor:


Use a Portable Projector:

I'd say just get a small, probable projector and a portable screen. I use a bookstore projector, and a small screen. It works just fine when performing presentations, and even for projecting right off the wall. You'd find these on Amazon or eBay, or maybe even craigslist.

Why aren't you looking at more feasible options like LG gram, Asus portable monitors, MSI portable monitors? You can easily connect them using mini HDMI port or USB Type-C port. These monitors are well built, designed, give you better picture quality and, offcourse, better after sale service.
