Hi all,
I came across this video; https://youtu.be/jwhFr5Ax3Fk
Setting aside the cheese at the end, it actually seems like a brilliant idea. I wonder if anyone knows of anything like this for using android tablets as second/third displays on Fedora? This would make dev work sooooo much nicer!
I generally don't use an external monitor simply because they're not portable. A tablet or two though... :D
Self reply because I found a solution! \o/
I picked up an ASUS MB169B+ (USB-3 version, not USB-C). Getting it to work was surprisingly easy, but did take a touch of work to sort out. So I write a little tutorial here for anyone else who might want a similar setup:

I now have to sort out mixing hidpi (4k laptop screen) and normal dpi (ASUS). There is a hint here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/393400/is-it-possible-to-have-two-different-d... but I've not yet tried it. If I get it setup properly, I'll update the tutorial.
Cheers and thanks to those who replied earlier. :D
