Wireless Casting is usually poor. Oddly I have an ancient Android 4.x Sony-Ericsson that has an HDMI port built in. I think only TV HD, which is only useful for larger PDFs in Portrait mode. Keyboard & Mouse work via microUSB to USB-A socket adaptor and hub.
A very few phones and tablets have USB-C (Alt DP mode) that works to HDMI. More common on ChromeBooks and Laptops. Both my Lenovo laptop and Samsung ChromeBook can do 4K (UHD) via the USB-C port in Alt DP. I have a portable QHD panel that uses either 5V USB + HDMI (used on Raspberry Pi4b), or a single USB-C cable to Lenovo laptop and Samsung ChromeBook. Curiously if the PSU is connected to the screen's 2nd USB-C video port the Chromebook charges instead of powering screen, and the video still works.
A Nxtpaper 14 is only a bit more expensive than a decent non-glare monitor and FAR better for reading. Ironically, as it's not needed, it's the only thing that Wireless Screen Casts perfectly to our 55" 4K HDR TV.
I read on my 1600 x 1200 XP laptop from 2002 till about 2013 (then got a Kindle). The Kindle DXG, reMarkable and Elipsa all failures to replace PC for larger PDFs unsuitable for 8" Sage. The NxtPaper 11 was first decent solution, but the NxtPaper 14 is the first portable device in 40+ years of reading on screens to manage everything. The 8" Kobo Sage, if ambient light allows for no frontlight, is still the winner for small PDFs and all reflowable "true" ebooks.
