    • @SirNarax
      @SirNarax 4 года назад +5

      I don't even think the way they did it makes it all that impressive, it is kind of a hack. It is just something they can put on the side of the box. "We made the thinnest monitor in the world by removing most of the monitor from the display and turned that into a dongle." The thickness of an item is measured at the thickest part and setting aside the dongle thing the monitor is not much thinner than phones and about the same as some laptops.

    @gustavokaski 4 года назад +175

    Okay so I actually bought one of these displays after watching this video and there is some key differences from the demo model he has here.
    First the display is much heavier then the one he has (about 700g)
    Secondly, the reason for the weight, the finished product's base extends all the way across the back of the screen. giving the screen a rigid metal backplate which is extremely sturdy, more than most laptop screens.
    Thirdly the connector jankiness is gone, at least it doesn't cut out at all if bumped (though you can still move it around a bit).
    Fourthly the little slider on the other side when held down adjusts the brightness of the display.
    Please note even if your motherboard has a type c it wont be able to run this display unless that type c has some access to graphics (like an igpu or a discrete pass through).
    My Lenovo Thinkpad P1 recognizes the screen no problem but couldn't power it.
    Monitoring the external power usage peeked at 15 watts. It is unclear how much it is pulling from the laptop.

If the graphic card is dead for good most motherboards will beep it for you if you attach a pc speaker to them. Or.. if the said pc is password protected and has a windows pro on it and remote access enabled you can always rdp into it from your phone. Lot of "ands" in that one but you dont need to carry stuff arround. You could also create a small live linux distro on a cd or pendrive which at startup starts a rdp service and audiosignals its ready and then rdp into it.

  • @JH-pe3ro
    @JH-pe3ro 4 года назад

    Regarding my own mobile setup, what I already do and have done since last spring is phone stand + bluetooth keyboard + bluetooth mouse. That combo fits snugly in an old camera bag and only has the downside of the screen size still being small. If I wanted something larger format, that would be a folding phone(either the actual high-tech easily-destroyed kind, or the LG dual screen). An actual monitor, even a thin one, gets into laptop territory (but on that note, I would be interested in seeing laptop designs that decouple the screen.)

    Awesome tech, 4K at this size and weight (Portability) is freaking innovative. Imagine if they made a durable "as thin" keyboard hub to go with this? Both nested into each other like the cover already does. You get a laptop at only 300 grams + battery pack. Forget the type C connector and use dock (pins). Seriously, manufacturers should re-consider using this external battery "way to go" with mini laptops in general. It is probably a nice extension for DEX users on Samsung phones and tablets. But then you have 2 displays, hmm? Just put a 7nm Z8350 cpu in (the keyboard or) the display itself at 2 Watt TDP, right? You have a full 4K (STARTREK) tablet and the rest is accessories. Might consider going camping with this with a 5 Watt (backside thinfilm) edge to edge solar panel (Built-in). I recommend you to be gentle with this 007 gadget, store it somewhere safe it probably gets forbidden somehow like #HUAWEI 5G Tech . It's that innovative probably to the #NSA?
    What if CREE is contracted to make a single dot (1 watt) light source so squeeze tiny but powerful enough (500 nits) to illuminate through ingenious re-fracturing the backside of the 4K LCD? then you get a 3 Watt 4K Laptop with computing power at only 300 grams.
    IT IS HAPPENING FOLKS !!

    I could see one of those being useful on travel with an ultracompact laptop. Problem is that most ultra compact laptops have a crappy keyboard... but perhaps it’s a sign of lighter laptops with decent displays in the future.

    I'm thinking drones with nice cameras, since it covers Adobe RGB well. And you can run it on an external battery. DJI will probably make a drone remote with a scaler, so you won't need to run the hub as well.

      Not gonna happen with the side facing connctor, you'd have gaps for the plugs making it unusable.
      If they come up with a slightly thicker one where the cable goes flat in at the back with a Vesa mount on top? Yeah, i'd totally see that being done.

    I think a 12 inches monitor has to have like 1440p 120 or 144 hz instead of 4k 60. That will be interresting.

      @@leecaste lower resolutions require less gpu resources to run. If the pixel density at 1440p is already good enough for you, there isn't much point in it being 4k. You'll just be using more resources
      Also, I think the differences in going from 60 to 120 hz would be more valuable than 1440p to 4k at that size of display

    Man, thats an interesting screen.
    Main pros to me would be for DIY projects where you hide away the cabling etc.
    Potential uses being for vehicle applications where you want something that sort of acts as a separate head unit running android auto or something.
    (Or In my case, I want a second screen for my Pi4 running Android11).
