Is it possible to turn a spare android phone into a makeshift pc?
Connect to monitor while charging and using otg?
Yes, it's possible on a rooted device. Won't be very good though.
Nope
You'd burn out the battry, You can't run the OS needed to do what you would on a high res screen

Yeah you can. But do you really fucking want to rape your battery, and work at the slowest speeds ever?

All I want to do is run 720p video with a nexus 5.
>pc
>personal computer
Your phone already is a personal computer, dumbass. Kill yourself.
It would be nice if Ubuntu phone was further along in development. It has a cool looking "desktop mode".

Why would the battery get burned out? Doesn't the phone cut off the battery when it's 100% charged?

No, it goes into a trickle charge mode which makes it fluctuate around 95%. Doing this to li-ion batteries will wear them out almost as much as deep discharging them
