USB-C powered 15.6" touch screen 5 volt power requirement - USB port or power bank

I figured I can't be the only person here who would find such a small, convenient, light monitor handy for Astro stuff.
As of today Aldi have a 15.6" ten point touch screen monitor for $149. Full 1080 HD resolution.
It also has speakers but they aren't great or loud but I didn't buy it for the sound. Would probably be great paired with a NUC.

It also worked plugged into my sons Samsung S10 phone but wouldn't work on my older S8 but that phone is a dinosaur. Pity, I could take it to the shops with me and see my messages (I really need a 65" for that).

I didn't pay attention to the actual voltage other than it working off a USB-C lead plugged into my sons phone and tablet but C has a varying voltage, it could be 19 volts, I'll look later. OK, 5 volts 3 Amps (or thereabouts) input for power.
It's self contained, compact and could be good in the yard or Observatory.
