Looks like it might be a bit tight on your 15 there, but I know a 17" or larger monitor would work well with those two panels rotated 90 degrees.

    Thank you for the follow-up. I'm actually looking for some screen extension options for my work laptop. I would like this setup more if you also could rotate the side monitors 90 degrees.

    • @mattc16
      @mattc16 ปีที่แล้ว

      90 degrees for a vertical portrait mode or to enable forward and backward tilt? I don’t see the portrait mode being possible without entirely changing the current monitor attachment to be an arm that connects to the center of the back of the monitors. The primary centerpiece would have to increase in thickness to account for the arm having to be attached to the back of the monitors instead of the sides and an additional ~2” of extra length added to the arms to be able to rotate them without coming into contact with the center attachment. This would obviously add more weight with the added thickness and ~7”x2 of extra arm length.
      To be clear, I’m not saying it’s a bad idea. I would love portrait mode as well for browsing the web. Just that it would require some large changes to the current product design, and isn’t as simple of a feature add as you might think.
      I would prefer portrait mode for such small monitors as well. As seen in the video, text is hard to read at such a small monitor size where it would be beneficial to increase resolution zoom percentage. Unfortunately, increasing zoom percentage reduces the amount of content you can see on the screen. With landscape, that makes it pretty poor to use them for reading content or using it for stream chat (if streamer). Portrait mode would fix this issue.

    I think this could be even cooler if they could make it somewhat modular. For example, some kind of way to attach the displays to the body on every side. This could open up a few things; having different sizes on each side, 1 landscape and 1 portrait, only 1 extra without the cost of 2. Depending on how that mount gets impemented, some covers to hide unsued mounting points, or extend and adapt as needed. I know that would probably be nearly an entire product redevelopment though.
    It would be cool to see the USB C ports be fully featured with passthrough, video in/out, charging, the whole 9 yards. That's something they could probably implement fairly easily as well.

    Jay is 100% correct when he says intellectual property thieves stifle innovation. Amazon has been trying to crack down on this for 3 years now and has made some progress. However in the process resellers of authentic products also get inappropriately flagged. I’ve even seen cases where the IP thieves reported the IP owner as the knock-off and got their listing removed. Since Amazon seller support seems to be almost exclusively made up of bots and people who only follow a script, it can be very difficult to find a resolution to your issue even after explaining the issue in great detail and simplistically.
    IP thieves hurt more that just the original product and often times has wide ranging ripple effects effecting completely unrelated products.
