Portable monitor for iPad mini 6

I'm looking for a portable monitor that I can use with my iPad mini 6th gen as I'd like the option of watching something on a bigger screen when using it now and then.

My only issue is, I've noticed that when I connect it to external monitors the aspect ratio is usually off and it doesn't stretch to fit the width of the monitor. I understand that this is an issue for A chip iPads but are there any monitors out there of a specific ratio that would work around this?

To be clear this isn't as an extendable second display or anything like that, just to mirror the display

You can airplay to, or screen mirror, to any TV with an AppleTV or to any Mac. Would that fit your use case?

I just got the Viture The Beast big screen XR glasses. I'm a big fan of them! I didn't like them at first because I didn't have the right angle. I figured it out, and I bought some prescription lenses for them and it's been my go-to for big screen viewing. Check out some reviews! They feel like the future, and they work really well with the iPad Mini. I use a trackpad and keyboard with my setup. Feels very computer-like.

What a completely useless and unhelpful comment

I already have an iPad and I like the mini because I use it for reading. Just sometimes, when I'm watching something I'd like the screen to be a little bigger
