Was looking at some monitor options and stumbled across the Elecrow 11.6" 1080p LED LCD screen. I did some quick math on the dimensions and it seemed to be the perfect fit for both MFD controllers. Had a tiny bit of bonus money so I pulled the trigger, and yes, it was a perfect fit for the MFDs. Only a tiny bit of screen space is wasted on the bottom. It's a very small lightweight aluminum frame, and the screen is crisp and colorful at 1080p. Only con is the connectors (HDMI/Power) being on the right side; though you could easily flip the monitor in your graphics settings to have it go the other way; but still ends up sticking out the side. The other obvious drawback is not being able to split up the MFD controllers, but I liked the simplicity of keeping them on one screen.

Only took me an entire afternoon to get the monitor setup script (.lua) right... I may have dropped an A-10's worth of F-Bombs... but I managed to figure it out and seem to have a good understanding of it now.

Edit: will post my .lua monitor config once I'm back home.

Monitor Config Lua Help/tips:

1. DISABLE FULL SCREEN IN DCS
   
   
2. Do the math on your monitor config. You need to add up the total space of your monitors combined together for your DCS views. With both my main monitor and the MFD monitor being 1920x1080 that made this fairly simple. Total screen space 3840x1080, this is what you set your resolution to in DCS (you will most likely need to manually type this in to the DCS options)
   
   
3. Edit your monitor config file (MAKE BACKUP COPIES BEFORE EDITING!). These are located at \DCS World OpenBeta\Config\MonitorSetup\
   
   I tried to show how I did the math on my setup here (sorry I should have picked a better txt color): https://imgur.com/a/TrsIn
   
   

• I'm starting the Center view (my main monitor) at X=1920 (Y=0 will be used most of the time, this is the top of the screen). So I'm telling the system start my main view 1920 pixels from the left. Then the view window is the entire size of the monitor 1920x1080.
  
  
• I tell it to start the LEFT_MFCD in the upper left corner (X=0, Y=0)
  
  
• I tell it to start the RIGHT_MFCD 1070 pixels from the left corner (X=1070, Y=0); for this one I just had to keep playing with the value until I found something that worked well for the spacing. Old guides may tell you that you can edit this file while the game is running, but I had to restart DCS for each change.
  
  
• The size of the MFDs is set to 840x840, which seemed to be a good size for the MFDs.

  Hopefully that helps you figure out how to modify the monitorSetup .lua scripts. You'll notice the commented code down below about using IF statements for different aircraft configs; I have not tested this yet.

Got both things way cheaper than that but its the two main components then I just used Sticky Velcro to fix it all

And then made a custom monitor lua to export the screens to another monitor.

same as /u/squinkys, I'm using this. Also props to /u/thenumberj for his original idea.

Using this guy right here and exporting just like you assumed. I love the setup, and it was really easy to build. Special thanks to /u/thenumberj for the idea!

A little small but I had one lying around.

This any good?

Welcome dude! Hmm, I've been purchasing these monitors for work recently and they work surprisingly well and are pretty affordable.

In regards to a carrying case. Some of us use range bags. Yes, the same ones used to carry firearms. It will certainly depend on your case you choose though. Take a look at the following:
