I want to rig up a skinny flat monitor to place over my broken macbook screen using 2 sided tape or velcro. My question is can I use this monitor as my primary screen using a command? And if usb c to usb c is the only cable I need to connect the two devices together. Thank you for the help, I hope others can see their is a pretty good solution dealing with a common problem in having a crack screen

Your taking about a 15 inch screen over a 13 inch display. Itll work fine but it will look kinda wonky and certainly wont close (dont even try you will cause more damage). It will work with type c to c as long as you have a display capable usb c to c cable.

I certainly dont recommend taping it to display either, you will increase the likely hood of the display receiving further damage which in turn increases the likely hood of glass shards ending up in places they dont go.
