My choice is going to be a 24" monitor, sans speakers. (Keeps the weight down) There are a number of monitors around the 24" size that are quite light, and can easily sit on the music stand that comes with a keyboard. Switching out metal arms of a band style metal music stand for a reinforced thin plywood support works too. Most of the 21" - 27" monitors come with removable stands, And many are light enough to be supported by an 'L' shaped plywood shelf. I use model makers thin plywood (5ply), strengthen corners with thin aluminum angle, and glue it together with 5 min epoxy, using laundry line clothes pegs to hold things while the glue sets. Ace hardware in the US sells all you will need. I like to use landscape with 2 pages, & for very busy scores I switch to portrait. At home in my music room I have mounted a shelf on the wall to support my Korg keyboard, and for a while I had a 2 manual organ sitting below. In that set-up the music stand was mounted on a swivel arm, but it was overwhelmed by the heavy fake-books I used then. MSP saved the day and the wall repairs!
