Splashtop XWindows demo and the AirReceiverLite demo.

I didn't see those on Playstore. Plenty of other X-Window servers, which:
1)Were all Wireless, I'd want USB.
2)Only Linux will work well with an XWindows server and some applications won't work with a Wireless or LAN or USB Network remote XWindow display, only a local device.
3)A VNC client is likely more compatible for Wireless and all applications. It will also work with Windows, Mac and Linux VNC servers.
The Remote display is a Server, when it's XWindows, but a Client when it's VNC.
I saw there were lots of apps on Playstore for XWindows Server and VNC Client. I'd probably test on the 10" Lenovo tablet first.
Basically compatibility is limited and performance poor using remote Xwindows, VNC, RDP, screencasting (Usually phone to TV or laptop, but the other direction is possible). Really you need Display Port, HDMI, DVI-D or DVI-A or VGA on an external screen. Some external screens only have USB-C for video, but it's not actually USB, but a sort of DP/HDMI on extra wires. So some laptop host USB-C ports don't work and a non USB-C adaptor from USB-A (V2 or V3) also won't work. You can easily get USB-C to HDMI or DP adaptor that work, but only if the laptop USB-C port has video on it.
USB-C is really four different systems bundled and only one is really USB. It's a stupid design. Avoid buying a screen that has USB-C only, unless it's for a Mac with USB-C. Quite a few Windows laptops with USB-C can drive them, either due to driver issues or not actually having the video wires on the socket.
