Unbeknownst to us, this product and its company are currently being sued by Xebec, the original design and patent holder for these screens. With respect to patent laws and the hard work brands put into place, we have removed our links for this product and will be providing a follow up to this story. Stay tuned.
Strange, I looked up the product and saw Xebec aswell, what was other company thinking! Not on.
The Xebec ones are $500
pd power delivery.
you should review Xebec Tri-Screen 2 to compare with TeamGee, that way you got one and Phil another :)
I don't think Xebec has much of a case. Their design features slide-out 10.1" screens instead of fold out. It also has a flip down foot instead of the fold out leg. The clamping mechanism is also different. Unless they copied Xebec's electronics, I don't see any patent issues. We've seen many cases thrown out because these companies are trying to patent a concept, but that isn't how the system works. They are two different approaches to a common concept (which Razer also did with the prototype).
One thing Linus found out in his video is that if you plug in the second USB cable, it gives more power and then the brightness can get turned up/the on screen control for brightness actually works.
yah you need two power cables for brightness to work properly
Especially if you're on battery power, I'm unsure what the output of your single is.
A device like this that actually had usb-c power-through for itself and its laptop, and acted as a dock, would be pretty cool for the business traveller/hotel businessman setup.
Seems to be brighter even without the extra power on Jays laptop. I wonder if the experience all together depends on the laptop you use and what kind of power you get from the ports. Plus it seems like Linus had much more problems with the driver where Jay did even need to install their driver.
That's exactly what I was going to comment right now! :))
As an accountant that often works remotely, this would be great. You don't realize how integral a second or third monitor is to productivity until you take it away :).
Even without being an accountant, something as simple as copy pasting numbers or addresses is needlessly difficulty on one display. Could say one is spoiled but damn is it nice being able to turn on that 2nd or 3rd monitor for chat/youtube while working on the main.
This is incredibly true. Whenever I'm on the road with just my laptop monitor I feel slightly handicapped.
Snapping 2 windows to 50/50 split can only take you so far.
As someone that works in insurance I agree. Going back and forth between Cisco Storefront and Telnet into a remote server on one screen makes me want to claw my eyes out.
I wouldve preferred Oled LG monitor. But they made it too big 47 inch. Only need 32inch.
As someone who watches all of your and Linus' videos, I'm totally cool with seeing you guys double-up on video topics from time to time. It's always interesting to see your different viewpoints on certain aspects of a product or topic.
I don't see why that would be an issue for anyone seeing 2 or multiple tech enthusiast/product reviewers covering the same product from a manufacturer. They review and give their opinions on the same GPU's & CPU's so why not anything else?
@@spankbuda7466 there are people that seem to take joy harassing RUclipsrs for "copying" topics others seemingly have done before. Jay's statement was probably intended to shut them down.
If you're seriously really close to pulling the trigger on a product buy, 2 reviews is the minimum reads/watches and I'd do 3 for sure.
Agreed. Plus there’s double the chance they’ll drop them so we get durability testing on the two-fold. 😁
😂🤣🤣🤣
Edit: Plus… IFIXIT!! *explosion*
I love seeing multiple reviews, but I don't think J is a real reviewer. He is just a shill trying to get views and money.
This is great for any professional that typically works on a multi-display setup, but has to travel for work. I absolutely hate having to go to one of our offices and work solely off a single laptop display when I'm used to working 3 displays.
me 2
Short throw projector is tiny and practical for on the go business. Not as private as a small screen but very easy on the eyes and wallet incase you forget it in a hotel or conference.
The concept is really great. But I am kind of skeptical that it is much better than a portable monitor or two in order to be more than a niche.
It has benefits but is also less versatile.
just get a mini portable display. seems like a better option. no strain on your hinge, or heavy, or crazy expensive for 60hz displays. imo this is worth like maybe 300 bucks. the fact that it is double that is so insane.
@@Randomactivities2.0 less useful if you go anywhere without a onvenient projection screen or wall
From LTT's review, they found that although it did work with one USB-C, the panels got brighter when both cables were plugged in. May or may not have been the issue with low brightness in this case.
It might have been an issue with the power his laptop could provide to the port because Jays displays seem pretty bright even without the extra cable.
Kind of show why Jay has gotten so bad at this. He doesn't do any research or look for info. Just pushing out a video
@@ytTOOKTOOKmyname Jay literally prefaced the video by saying he didn't watch any other reviews or do any research because he wanted to make a video of his raw, unvarnished first impression of the device straight out of the box.
@@VonSchpam That's a cop out. It a way of saying I'm too lazy to do research and just wanted to publish a video so I won't do any research and I'll tell you I know what I'm talking about.
@@ytTOOKTOOKmyname You're always free to unsubscribe and not watch, hatewatching is just cringe.
I work for a CPA firm, and when going out to the client for audit fieldwork, this would absolutely amazing. We carry small single travel monitors, but this looks much better
Ya the brightness thing is because you need both power cables. Also, I love that you and your daughter talk on stream about being an influencer and creator from one generation to the next. It's something that more and more kids are wanting to get into so any advice and wisdom is such a needed thing in this day, thats not something that you can see just anywhere.
Thanks, that explains it. That's actually a really convenient option that it can run it with one usb cable even if it limits the brightness. Good thing it's not limited to being that dim all the time though.
@@nathanc6516 yea I know right, at least there's the option to give it more nits if need be.
This is 100% getting bought for my mobile work setup. I already lug around a second panel that takes up almost as much space and wish I had a third almost daily. Having it streamlined like this is dope. Fortunately, I don't need fast refresh rates or extreme color accuracy, so all of that is secondary, regardless of if it's good on this or not.
This could work pretty well for programming, you don't need the highest quality panels for text.
As someone with a 27-inch 1080p monitor with poor color reproduction and worse viewing angles, I'm not sure about that. Fuzzy text and poor contrast that shifts over the length of the display (not noticible in most media) REALLY sucks when you're trying to read a full screen of code. The viewing angle is especially important if you ever rotate your screen for more real estate. It's made me strongly consider investing in an LG DualUp at some point.
@@colbyboucher6391 but said text could be on your main screen. While other resources on the other screens. I also think they more so mean refresh rate, 4k etc.
and DevOps work… I might order this for travel 🤔
@@colbyboucher6391 Readable is not the same as high quality.
@@gudenau Well a Ford T also isn't a Caddilac but both gets you there 😉
You mentioned some different real-world uses, and I think that everyone has a use for extra screens.
I’m a town planner, and really need at least 2 screens for work, particularly if writing reports whilst having to read plans, policy maps, etc.
The legal issues shows some underhanded corporate tactics around this product, but it’ll be nice to see this type of product on the market soon.
I think it's a pretty cool device, and would be convenient to use so I could be mobile while I am working (I use a 3-display setup for my job), but it's not a $600 value to me. Now if my employer were to supply it, I'd love it.
But if the first to market is $600, it won't be long until it's undercut or improved. There's still a lot of meat on that bone.
@@mal2ksc I hope that it's the case that there will be competition to improve the product and reduce the cost. There have been too many "neat" gadgets that simply died instead.
That's basically how I felt about large format Cintique digitizers, is was too rich for my blood, but if she company pays for it - :)
I can see the presentation thing being pretty neat for smaller meeting with like 3-5 participants. Instead of doing some presentation on a big screen on the wall, with everyone then facing that instead of each other this triple thing allows people facing each other more thus making for better interaction.
2 things i would want to see in a next iteration, 1 the ability to use the stand with 1 monitor flapped away still, so i dont need to always take up a huge amount of space, and 2 a pivot for the screens, potentially with a locking lug it could twist into, bonus points if you could push them into the housing and twist it further
I have a friend who is travels full time doing IT work remotely. They've been hunting for a second monitor to build a better setup for their RV and I think that, even if THEY dont go this route, it definitely fits their use case. I can say I'd LOVE to have this for when I'm out and about doing hw since I'm used to a 43" tv and a secondary 24" on my home setup, I HATE being stuck on one "tiny" laptop monitor
Every time I hear Phil laugh it brings joy to my heart. Phil, you are so much fun on these reviews.
Jay, I stumbled on your channel recently as I am about to build my first rig in ohhh, 13 years or so. I knew i needed to refamiliarize myself with technology, best practices, and hardware. I have checked some other channels for content and frankly found them not to my liking. You are down to earth, amusing, and honest. Your tech savvy clearly comes from your experience going back to i think you said 5 years old or so you started? My point is you referred to yourself as an influencer. While that is true and applicable, i think it grossly undersells your value. You literally took the new tech fear out of me, and once all my parts arrive, ill be building my rig. I noticed how careful you are with cable management, one of my pet peeves, as well as overall aesthetics. I am mildly OCD and a maker in my own right, so i recognize someone who NEEDS to perform at a practical yet high quality level. You check all my boxes. If i needed this 2 screen setup, like when i was in college, i wouldve jumped on it after watching this. Great work, love your team.
Like you, I recently started building / upgrading my PC. I agree with you that this a really good channel. As you pointed out Jay is down to earth & honest!
@@dougb8490 I also discovered Jay when building my first pc, lots of valuable advice that I think is fair, some other channels are overly concerned with value for $ and others are very over the top and focus on only the highest end parts Jay falls nicely in the middle for those of us that want a nice pc but don't need the latest and greatest
Wow, what lube are you using when stroking a man ego?
I could see myself using it when I'm on a business trip. It takes forever reviewing/editing multiple spreadsheets and other documents with only one screen. On another note, I could put that laptop to use if you don't use it. 😁
I would loved to have had this back when I was in university for research and school projects. Nice to have multiple displays to not switch between windows.
I love it! It's one of those items that you didn't realize you needed until you saw it.
I have always been amazed at how monitors, specially touch screens can be manufactured at such a low cost.
I would definitely use something like this for portable development. Writing code with a single monitor is cumbersome. Especially when you need to have documentation up, code editor up and visual debug.
Web development. Live preview on one panel, terminal/git on the right panel.
Born in 87, grew up in the 90s as a computer geek, it's amazing to think how far we have come in terms of plug and play.
Something like this would have taken potentially hours to set up and would have involved manually installing drivers and other various troubleshooting tasks.
In fact, troubleshooting as an entire concept is rarely something the end-user ever has to do.
I did pick up one of the Xebec units. In addition to the use cases you noted for creators, as a developer this would also prove very useful on the go because of all the screens of stuff we often have to have available, Window shuffling being a Real issue on a Laptop... (Code ENV, Application, Documentation, DataBase Views, Google searches, Your teams IM Client of choice and sometimes more than one of those, you name it)
Hey Jay, Linus found that you get better brightness in his video, if you use 2 usbc cables, in case you didn't know
**Edit**
I wish they would make something like this for desktop, use, honestly, but even if they did, I'd probably prefer to have a standard 2 or 3 monitor setup, as it would be easier to set up I think, as well as being able to better match the panels to each other...
came down to see if anybody mentioned this. it makes a huge difference.
@@clashwithkeen that's the thing with Jay, if he plugs something unknown in,(like that screen for instance) and it works, because he doesn't know anything about it, he just assumes something isn't working right and more power isn't the answer... Of course, it's not all Jay's fault, because he been having hardware issues lately and he is probably getting a bit frustrated from it all, and aside from that, the company could have added more instructions on how to get that to work better...
I mean come on, the company could have at least said in their instructions, that "if brightness doesn't work, please plug in 2nd USB-C cable"...
I actually purchased a USB C/HDMI panel that is similar to this only it didn't attach to the monitor it had its own stand. Made by KYY, it's actually a pretty decent travel monitor but is only 1080p but makes for a small quick side panel on a smaller desk. It would be similar to how Phil had the iPad on the Mac
@@HooverM75 I'm planning on doing something like that eventually, for a build I want to do involving an old "bubble Mac" iMac all in one system... Already gutted the CRT from it, and I just need the funds to purchase the parts and then I'm good to start putting it together... Just need an sff PSU and a MB/CPU combo, then I'm good to go, minus a few fans... Of course, I wish I had a 3d printer for some of the brackets and other plastic parts I might need, but I don't so that'll be a bit of an issue... Aside from all that though, I'm doing pretty good on the planning of it, I think...
Picture a 1999 Mac all in one, with windows hardware filling out the emptied inside, and a portable 1080p screen attached to the front... Will be likely reusing the original speakers, or at least, leaving them in there for looks and possibly attaching other speakers inside...
Make the thumbnail with this accessory equipped on the laptop it'll get more attention.
Yeah
Having multiple monitors is highly important for my professional workflow so I am constantly stuck to my desktop because of it. Having something like this, even at $600, would be fantastically beneficial for when I want to be mobile and still be productive. Sure it would not be as nice as my quad 32" monitor setup but it would be nice to see scenery that is not the inside of the same two rooms everyday. Now if only a good version was made for a 17" laptop.
This would be a game changer for those traveling for work. When I travel with my laptop, it’s delegated to just an email machine while I’m on-site. It’s impossible to create anything of value on a single, small screen. If you have a tight timeline and on-site, that work has to be sent to someone else with real screens to complete.
I can already imagine gaming on the main screen, discord on the right and a youtube video on the left! Honestly looks like a very useful device to have.
But that $600 price tag though >.
I think this is a great item and worth the price if you have a use for it. I can also see them coming out with a more expensive unit with 144Hz screens in the future.
Maybe when a newer spec makes signaling to 2 extra monitors over USB isn't as much overhead.
I traveled extensively in the past for work and was constantly using CAD, word processing, and emailing from hotels rooms. This would have been a game changer and increased productivity greatly for my use case.
Having contracted and been stuck with small displays from the early 2000's and working on them in 2014; sometimes having to jump between multiple screens for specs, spreadsheets, and CAD suite... I concur.
Don't worry about what other people have covered, I watch these for your take on a device and if I'm going to buy something I want to see multiple reviews of it for a broader view of it's quality and features 👍
I'd use it for broadcasting. I constantly have to remote into my Tricaster at work for control when I'm off-site and feeding NDI/LiveU into the system. Having all 3 screens on my Thinkpad would really help.
in linus's video they found that plugging in the second plug in the monitors allows you to bump up the brightness quite a bit
it would certainly make playing dungeons and dragons with my friends over discord easier if i had to use my laptop instead of my gaming station. I like having discord on my main screen, roll20 on the left screen, and my characters sheet and notes on the right screen so i can quickly see what i can do instead of searching through tabs on one screen
I hear you. I now have a 28" 4K display and that's enough for keeping the module itself, the tactical map, and the character sheets all close at hand, even though I don't need to look at the character sheets all that much. Then I have two displays that are "leftovers" retired from primary service, one 1600x900 and one 1280x1024, which are used to display Dicsord (started as a typo but we call it that now), the Initiative tracker and monster stat boxes and the like. Quite frequently (outside of needing a wall of display like DMs do) I switch those two off, but when they're useful, I have them. I'm using the 4k essentially in split mode just by having two equal size browser windows which is PLENTY of real estate for each.
This was a great review and with you help it has allow me to look a little more into it. Especially when working from home. Thank you
I like Jay's version of this content. He goes right to the questions that matter and with honesty Lol, you can tell he doesn't like it.
When you are a traveling auditor, be it InfoSec or financial, having extra screen space is very important. When I was an IT auditor I found myself constantly asking to borrow a panel.
So the brightness thing can be fixed by plugging another usb c cable in to the PD port idk if you saw that already
I still love UltraMon all these years later! F
or multi-screen arrangement, screen saver, desktop and adding buttons to windows bars for single-click window swaps and movements to alternate monitors etc, all in a free software? Hell yeah.
“Why would somebody want this?”
As a developer without a stationary desk this could be awesome. One screen for teams/slack/etc, two for IDEs and tools.
I like when you review items that Linus has, as you both have differing perspectives, which provide more insights.
That is not only great for laptops,
but also for handhelds like the Steam Deck, if you want to actually do some work on it in a hotel room.
I use Steamdeck on the go and you don't need this.. Just use a $5 hdmi cable
Pro Tip: With many of these types of monitors, the USB-C interface will use DisplayPort alternate mode and a MST hub to deliver a direct connection to the GPU for lag free, full quality video to monitors. The USB-A interface will use DisplayLink, which uses a virtualized display adapter and H.264 transcoded video streams sent over the USB-A interface. The latter option is not desirable as it will have noticeable input lag, quality loss from compression, and very often a reduced effective refresh rate as the video is often sent at 30FPS.
I'd love to have one for remote meetings when I'm working remote.
When I need to present something, I need a screen that shows what I'm presenting (obviously), one to display the people I present to (teams, zoom, ...) so I can see who is talking and see their reactions, and one for my timeline or presentation mode for the powerpoint.
I can use the laptop screen to present so the quality is fine.
The timeline quality doesn't matter, and as for the zoom/teams window, the fps of it is low anyway due to the limited bandwidth of everyone joining, so that would be also fine.
It's indeed a bit pricey, but I love it.
I can't imagine doing serious work now with fewer than 3 screens and office work with 2. I use a 4K with tiled windows and 2 other 1080p screens daily, so basically 5-6 1080p of real estate. If I traveled for work, I'd definitely buy this.
that seems overkill I regular use apps like fusion360 to 3d design or open office on my apple watch plenty of screen realstate
I currently just use 1 1080p monitor, but I hope to eventually get up to 2 or 3 1080p monitors... Not 100% sure if I want a 4k monitor yet, as I would like to have all the panels be the same, for aesthetic reasons, and good 4K monitors are still pricy... I think I would love to go to a microcenter someday though, and look at all their PC monitors to see what's better to have, as all I've ever used in my life, (I think, since none have been new) is 60/75hz crt/LCD panels... Definitely want to experience the difference between 60 and 120Hz that everyone in the tech review industry has been talking about for years... But alas, that'll probably be years away from now...
@@northwiebesick7136 take a look at 1440p too, I have 1440p x 3 and its awesome. High refresh on center 1
Once you up your res 1080 feels bad lol
@@zomfgeclipse oh trust me, I've ran 4k on a TCL Roku 3rd gen panel, and I know how bigger res is better, but I'm talking about, for smaller monitors... Currently my monitor is 21.5 inches diagonally, not counting the bezel, and I honestly don't really need anything bigger than that for a single monitor... All that said, I don't know at what minimum screen size 1440p becomes not a good choice, so if I had a monitor that's 20" and 16x9 like my current one, except for 1440p, maybe it would be better, IDK...
**Edit**
Anyone wondering, the Roku was a TV approximately 40-50inches in size, I honestly forget how big it was exactly, but for me it was huge
Oh, and also price, if 1440p is going to cost hundreds more, all in, than 1080, I'd rather go 1080, but 15$ more or even 30$, (per panel) might be convincing to get higher res, as long as it's as good of overall quality in the monitor...(looking for good CHEAP long lasting "new" monitors (eventually))
Teachers where I work have started messing around with similar devices from a brand called Sidetrak. But only 1 extra monitor instead of this dual setup. Wonder if they have a dual one...either way, really cool stuff. But yeah the price hurts lol.
As someone who's been on a dual monitor rig since I had one at work and realized how big of a difference an extra panel makes, if I was a regular laptop user I'd definitely want this. I like having discord up while I watch videos, or just having background videos for certain games that I know well enough that I don't need 100% focus. Or my tracker when I play a randomizer....lots of uses for extra screen real estate
This is a very practical yet innovative concept... i love it
I mean, it's an interesting concept, but the hinge weight makes me too uncomfortable. Why not buy 2 portable monitors and connect each one via USB C?
Footprint and portability.
The whole setup is really minuscule when you look at it, and you have a traveling setup dedicated. Moving one monitor already suck, so 2 ? It's hell, just because of the feets, and finding a good case, let alone a "bag" like this one to transport is a challenge, and may cost you more in the end.
To be honest i don't know how other professionals would like to use this, but as a trader this is pretty awesome for sheer real estate when monitoring related markets
This would be amazing for most people who work in IT or finance.
Having multiple screen to reference and multitask is a huge benefit in that kind of work.
You guys gotta get Octoprint. I used to be like you---make the STL on my desktop, save to SD, take that over to my laptop running the printer, load up and print. Then I discovered Octoprint.
Slap a RasPi running Octoprint on your printer, then send the files to it (wirelessly, in my case) and print them from the comfort of same PC you used to make the files. It's super easy to install, and Octo's GUI is intuitive and easy to learn. No more schlepping thumbdrives or micro SD cards and no more consigning a laptop or PC to sole printing duties. It can all be done on your LAN or wLAN. It's a game changer, Jay.
That said, I know RasPi's are pricy these days, but it's just so darn convenient and simplifies your workflow like you wouldn't believe. You can even install a RasPi Cam on it to monitor your prints remotely (and record sweet af timelapses). My desktop is in my office on the first floor of my house, and my printer is in my basement. I only need to go down to physically power on/off the unit, remove prints, and change filament. Seriously, check it out, you won't be sorry. Cheers~
linus is great but jay is goat
Amazing. as a programmer this would be incredibly useful for working while traveling, at friends houses, when working in a team, or actually being able to code at a coffee shop or other public area.
I can see this kickstarting a new area in the market aimed toward the mobile streamer/business person/programmer
For web design or programming three screens is very useful for having your IDE on the center screen, a primary browser to refresh on another, and a secondary browser to refresh on the third.
Man, the way you kept lifting and moving that thing around...I kept waiting for one of the hinges to overextend and snap off.
i went to school for mechanical drafting and used my laptop while i was on vacation to do my homework this would have been awesome to have, assignment on the left, CAD on the laptop, and my info panel on the right
I can see a number of use cases, but for me, the weight factor makes many of the potential cases much harder to justify. There are still a number of use cases where it’s almost certainly worthwhile, but I think lowering the weight would significantly expand it’s market.
The first rule of any product is: Does the product solve a problem or fulfil a consumer's need. If not, then the product will fail.
As an accountant that travels perfect for me. When office based i use 3 external, when travelling to other sites, i have to steal a workstation and plug in if i want more than one screen. Small footprint to carry around, for increased productivity.
Standard usecase for mobile office work: One Screen for Documentaition (manuals, reference docs as information source....) the middle one for on what you're working on (word, excel, programming ide, ...), and one for the browser (checking info, getting additional infos to fill in the gaps,...).
If one use it fir work, the price is absolut worth it.
As an animator, it would be really nice to have something like that while I travel, so I can have art on one screen, the ui on another and then entertainment or reference on the third screen. That looks like it would alleviate a lot of the stress I have about working while I travel.
Seems bulky to me. I rather travel with a mini ITX Box and my monitors.
@@venividivici4253 If you've ever had a back pack with books in it this would be similar or even less so. I also can't imagine carrying full sized monitors and a PC(mini itx or otherwise) somehow being less bulky. lol
@@tylerrichlen3286 Lol
That PD port is for plugging your laptop's charger, as it will pass it through to the laptop and possibly siphon off a little bit of juice for the displays. It's a pretty standard thing with these USB-C monitors.
I feel like this would be good for a lot of truck drivers and contractors. Having multiple screens on standby for when you need to do some accounting, quoting jobs, you name it.
This is a good tool for remote office work. Say for accounting or another job that requires multiple monitors to facilitate it. I was an IT admin for a medium business for many years. This would have been a solution for remote workers. We used laptops so that they could be mobile at will. The drawback was the users always lost their extra monitors outside the office. This would eliminate that completely. So not just a streamer setup.
This would have been great when I was in school. Excel, And Word on two screens and the third for research. This is amazing for productivity.
The problem with the price I have is that you can already get good 15.6 inch travel monitors for about 200 dollars with a built in stand. It makes it a hard sell when I can get a second monitor set up pretty easily using one of them in an even smaller footprint. I can usually find that while traveling that I can work around just a dual screen set up no problem. It helps that any third screen usage is typically something I can do on my ipad or even a phone because it would usually just be reference things.
On the one hand, that definitely would come in handy for so many use cases and it's relatively easy to set up. On the other hand, since I don't have a lot of money around, I would just buy 2 23" monitors (@ $120-150 each) and an adapter (if needed). Sure there'd be more wires and setup, but the convenience factor isn't worth the extra money.
As someone who is a hybrid employee, and no longer has a dedicated cube to work in when I go into the office - I can absolutely see this being useful.
you had to have a work that requires multiple monitors that on the go, so not for most us but looking forward to what they might do in the future with this.
I know a few people who would love this setup. They use a triple screen at work, but can't see three different screens on their lap top while traveling or at home. Even the high cost isn't a deal breaker as many companies will pay for it plus there are people who make money using their PCs and lap tops so increasing productivity could be worth it. If someone doesn't travel they could leave it at home for when they take work home, so the weight is no problem.
One really good thing about Windows is we don't have to chase down drivers or have them available just to get online . It installs everything for you most of the time ...
I could see a lot of productivity uses for it, especially for people who travel for work a lot, data input, excel spreadsheet coding references, things like that
A realistic usecase for developers at least is having email/teams on one side screen, Word/Excel for customer specs on the other side and write code in the main screen. Especially now with remote working, this is really a good idea. 2 screens is already hard, and 1 screen is really not an option I would even consider.
Not been traveling lately, but it would be really good for that. Cool idea!
I learn so much from this channel! Ty so much, 💓, I love how straight up u come across with your build and with the great info you give us. I have no computer knowledge, but your videos give me confidence to buy and build my very first table too if I ever want to. Thank you for all you do, your channel is awesome. 🤔👍
I've been doing this for a couple years at my desk with a dock and a monitor stand. When traveling for a gig I use the same dock but two of those $150-250 portable 13 inch monitors leaving them on thier faux leather case stands.
They took the same concept and made it one device and little easier to transport. I like it and when you consider what all is in it the price isn't outrageous. My DIY setup saves me around $100 so I feel it's a fair trade off for simplicity.
This could work well for a mobile audio recording rig, I think. I always hate working on a laptop because I'll have to fit 2-3 DAW windows on a single 15" screen and then swap between the various windows constantly.
There are 1080 ips portable monitors that work on the same concept but you will put them on the table instead hang them on your laptop. (In terms of space they will take nearly the same space). Also buying 2 will be cheaper than 600 $
This would absolutely make my university work sooo much easier.... GENIUS IDEA!
what an awesome concept!!!
Feel one of the best thing this solution does is give you options.
Literally working on a laptop/portable monitor setup right now. I love it because I work full time remote and I can take my work with me in my backpack without worrying about requesting time off if I travel close to my home. It’s the Innoview model PM406-02B and does not attach to the laptop FYI.
At home though I work off of my work computer and an ultra wide.
I just bought a 15 inch ips panel on Amazon for 120 bucks, works excellent as a troubleshooting monitor on the go, but I just realized I can use it as a secondary monitor for my work laptop after watching this video. Can't believe I didn't thought about it till now
I just recently acquired a simple 1080 USB-C external with a 3" fold-up adjustable-swing base that keeps the monitor upright on any flat surface on either side of the laptop. Since I am an IT consultant that travels extensively and is RDP'd into client servers almost constantly, I am kicking myself for not getting this sooner!! The productivity increase of having my desktop continuously available and usable is substantial.
I can see this being a lifesaver for Virtual Assistants on the go. It's very pricey but I can see this being a big help and saves more space than having 3 actual monitors.
Back when my PC died and I was stuck with just my laptop for a month this would have been so good! I definitely would love bigger displays but I could see this being a good purchase if I did more traveling.
Just wait till he plugs the PD in aka power delivery and gets a much brighter display. I love this thing
I would totally use that especially for having a web browser on one panel, excel on the other, and my main program on the main screen. That would be awesome for helping my workflow on my laptop/portable setup
Thank you for the "that's what she said" joke
This is mad! Good stuff.
about "who would use this"
apply your logic for phil working with timelines and headphones, add a pocket audio interface and a 25 key midi keyboard, and you have an entire music studio in a backpack. Two screens for ableton, and a whole panel just for effects and instruments.
As somoene that travels a bit and is back in school. This looks awesome for productivity. Research open on one monitor. Paper you're writing on main monitor and music/discord whatever on third.
As a graphic designer with a 17" laptop for remote working this would be really useful. In a desksharing/co-working space I can see it being great - emails one side, client files on the other, main design in the middle. The squeeze of getting it to fit is a bit worrying.
this thumbnail looks like phil told you to look up and quickly snapped a pic 🤣🤣🤣
this is awesome and exactly what i need!
I have a quad monitor setup on my desktop, because I like having MS Teams open on it's own display, plus keeping my primary programs on their own displays. I've always been frustrated when I have to keep clicking to go back and forth between programs. It's so much nicer having the seperate displays to be organized.
This would be great for when I travel for work. I use 3 screens at the office and I really couldn't get by for long without at least 2. Email on one screen full time, inventory system and spread sheets and web browsing and PDFs and folder structure and everything else on the other 2. Bouncing back and forth on one screen is so painful.
From a work perspective it would be good if the screens could be placed into portrait mode. Reading long documents on one, inbox, chat windows on the others. But with touch screens becoming more popular how practical would this really be.
