Very happy to hear an unbiased review on this and thank you for being so up front about that part! Hopefully they can fix the mirrored design part in a future revision
Great timing. I had just been looking at reviews of these and got a little lost in how many were available. Appreciate the detailed review.
I never even thought this was an option. Thanks for sharing, this is something I need to consider.
Thanks for taking the time to show us! Yeah….we’ve been indoors for a LONG time…but now I want to get out…but still work. This looks like a good solution!
Hey Alex! Thanks for reviewing this product, I was looking into an extra monitor on the go.
Thanks for the review!
I have been wanting to get something like this for a while now (the kickstarter for Slidenjoy, etc.), but with the price point so high, I have traveled with two laptops quite a bit. It is good to hear that the prices of these are dropping! If I don't win the raffle, I'll definitely look into these again! Going from multiple screens down to 1 screen when traveling definitely feels cramped especially when I try to keep one screen dedicated to monitoring my T1D blood sugar levels! Thanks for this raffle!
Thank you for the reciew, it was very complete and useful 😁
Nice review. I've been looking for something like this to expand my workspace outside.
Thanks for this great video ❤️, I would love one of this ones!!!!
Finally, work station on the go :). I enjoy your videos, keep’em coming.
Thank for sharing a nice equipment. Nice job, Alex !
Thanks for the review.
This was awesome. Please do more videos on portable monitors. Especially battery powered and wireless ones. And if you could also do more in depth tests - display quality/resolution, battery life etc... I think it would be awesome.
Nice review, thanks!
Been thinking about them a lot quite recently but the weight issue on the monitor hinges have stopped me from buy in them, the foot that this include seem like a really good option to avoid damaging them, thank you for the review 🙂👍
Would be awesome having this to increase my productivity Alex!!
Nice, i always want this kind of setup on the go
Want to thank you for all of your work on this channel. As a die hard windows user, I have enjoy seeing the work that you have put in to show the Mac as both a valid choice for development and the this is why I choice a PC :). As a windows developer, I have sat in my truck at a client site with a single monitor and would have kill for a second monitor. Thanks again for all of your hard work.
This is a very cool device. It's definitely something I could see myself using when I'm developing on the go.
This is actually a really cool thing, I saw this as a concept some years ago from razer in a LTT video and I think this can be very useful
nice! i sometimes work travel for a couple of weeks, where i could really use this
This would really come in handy. I also have had lots of issues with Sidecar disconnecting. But those issues go away if I connect my iPad Pro directly to my Mac via a USB to Lightning cable. Keep up the great vids!
Great monitor and thanks for the video
I actually have one already, Bought it on Prime day when it fell 200$ in price. Works for me as yours works for you. I to agree its kind of cumbersome to setup, but when you need it its quite handy... One thing to keep in mind for your Mac peeps, The Airs can only drive one of the displays not both... The MBP can drive both as you demonstrated... In my case its on my Legion 7...
The spring on the thing is really strong. You have to be careful not to sever a finger 😆
This looks cool. I would be interested in a single monitor unit but this Is cool. Especially if it expands the port options.
Thanks for unbiased review as I was about to buy two screen connection luckily I got one screen connection which is more than enough for wrk and in my budget as well 😊
Would be a nice tool to have. Appreciate the review
Looks like a neat little device!
Nice vid. I was curious about this gadget. Seems a nice workflow improvements. Although I'm not sure about the weight
Very handy .. i love it.
I use an external 1080p monitor as well, but I find it hard to use when I have one with literally more than double the pixel density and way higher color accuracy
Thank you!
Cool stuff! Keep up the great content!!
If you will connect your iPad via a cable there will be no disconnecting issues (just don't forget to answer that you trust your Mac when it asks it on the first connection). Sidecar is a great feature, the only downside is perhaps Sidecar's system requirements could be a bit lower - you'll need a modern Mac and a modern iPad for it work. It would have been nice if the older iPads were compatible as well, they have great screens, and this feature could have given a second life to them.
Left one monitor for surfing, mid one for coding and third one for seeing output 😄
Thanks, great video!
What is the resolution and the overall quality?
I've always drempt of having a solution like this, would make app development on my Macbook so much easier!
I was wishing for something like this last week. I was with my mom while she was in the hospital, and I could work on just the one laptop screen but I really felt the lack of my multi-monitor setup at home. Web development on a single screen is maddening.
Nice device, would be great trying it out. Although, I'm working in front of my two monitors most of the time.
Thanks for the content.
I always use 3 monitor, one for e mail, one for my assignment dash board, and one for drawing. Since i am a building plans check engineer I really liked this specially for travel and even spending a night with friend. Thanks and will get one for sure unless i win one by my comment.
Nice Video Alex!
That's quite impressive! Even though it's maybe heavy but it's quite useful ! Who doesn't love a triple monitor on the go?
I like the idea of having 1 or 2 monitors added to the laptop, my concern was always the weight of the unit. I might toy around with a set up for my music programs
Is it me or was the monitors' resolution never mentioned? Also, having more details about the (perceived) viewing quality, especially vs the embedded panel's, would be nice.
Was waiting for that as well.
Look at the Amazon link in the description: dual 12” FHD/1080p panels, 60 Hz, 72% NTSC color gamut, which is approximately 100% sRGB.
I do a bit of photoshop work. I wonder how the color correctness is on this
@@richardalbury Yes, this is accurate.
@@adamwrose The image is brighter, I guess the panel brightness gets through, the blacks aren't as black.
Thanks for the review. Are those 12" monitors?
I want this for sure
These sorts of folding external monitors (there are several "brands" selling what appear to be the same panels) are something I've toyed around with getting, but haven't yet. It seems cumbersome for everyday use, but I could see them being useful when you're called in to work on something on a weekend when you're away from your main setup.
It just takes like a minute to setup.
Thanks for the review. I have used multiple monitors in coffee shops (go to one of many in Asheville, NC!) or especially in coworking shops.
What I refuse to do is spring-attach this triple-system (actually dual) to a nice MacBook. The resolution of the LG Gram View is 2K (not the 1080p), lightweight, has mirrored USB-C ports on each side, and is very thin (easy to protect in a sleeve).
That's quite impressive! Even though it's maybe heavy but it's quite useful ! Who doesn't love a triple monitor on the go? ^^
I use my iPad pro 12.9inch as a second display with sidecar. I use a cable instead of wireless because it disconnects on wireless. It didn't disconnect until I installed Monterey. I'd love to a have a multi-monitor setup for when I do dev work on the go. Using the iPad wired drains my laptop battery to charge the iPad.
Nice video. Good to have this thing 😃
It'd be cool to get this. As you say, it tempted me but not enough to try as when I really need it on the go I use sidecar.
good to hear that it does not drain that much battery on the apple silicon macs. that is always my concern when shopping for these. now i'm interested!
Those are very useful monitors So Cool !👍
It be nice to have for on the go work 👍🏽
Looks cool
Would love to try one of these. Ive been looking at them coz working from home has distractions, pets and family wanting attention etc but can't live without my extra screens and I ain't dragging.
It seems a good solution for ocasional work on the go. My home setup (that was my office setup) is a Dell Latitude 7420 with 2 Dell side monitors.
Is the raffle international (Europe)?
Cool setup, would like to have one too
oh man this is awesome i'd love to get one of those, video editing and coding XD
Hey Alex, what the monitors are you using with your MacBook? I mean the regular ones
It would have been nice, if you could somehow adjust the tilt angel of monitors. When you tilt the laptop monitor, the other monitors will look horizontally tilted. In comparison, pay attention to the way an iPad is tilted by Alex.
I never knew they even made monitors like this! My mbp basically never leaves the desk because just the laptop monitor never seems to be enough.
I wish i can get this one, been strugling to work without an extra monitor
I had a 15.6" external monitor while I was traveling for 2 years. Night and day experience with my workflow. I am glad I got a larger external monitor that was not attached to my computer.
Hey Alex, Any chance you will do a review of the new version of Parallels.
To answer your question about more monitors, YES more is always better. During the lockdown I built my home work setup to SEVEN monitors total including the laptop screen. Going back to the office with only 3 monitors was hard and I do feel less productive in the office because of it.
I'm considering this setup for my work office to take me to six monitors, including a spare monitor I'll take into the office to setup in portrait mode for letter documents, a very useful setup I have in my home office.
This is an excellent video!, all respetable developer has to have at least one extra screen to carry stack-overflow everywhere.... Thanks!
Very nice review. Thanks. (Hope this is enough to be eligible for the drawing)
I would like to have this kind of setup when I was working with a client using my laptop, this would help me in coding
Hey buddy, can I use it with my current setup that is dual monitor using a dongle in my MacBook Pro? Can be 5 including main display? 😊
Thanks for the video, always wondered how nice these type of ext screen are. Point remains they are much better than no screen😜
I wonder if it works on MacBook Air m1/m2 for two external monitors?
I had two monitors until work sent me two to work from home so now including the laptop I got 5. Instead of switching windows you just look at a different monitor I like it :) You can also put one vertical even if you don't need that all the time since you got so many.
This review made me want to get a developer review of using an ipad as an external monitor
(@5:48) - I think that’s called a kickstand (like on a bicycle/motorcycle), not a footstool. Handy. 🙂
These monitors will help me a lot in my day to day work since I use a laptop as my main computer and unfortunately has a limited space to get another monitor setup on my desk. By the way I'm not in the US, am I still qualified?
Great video, Alex. I am still undecided on whether to buy. I may wait for cheaper, lighter and bigger.
How bright is those screen. What is the nit number?
Would like to have these while working on the road between customers and always missing two screens.
Were you able to calibrate the displays to match the MacBook? This is a concern I have for long sessions and getting eye discomfort
Seems like an interesting setup for on-the-go coffe-shop-programmers lol... Nice video!
how bright are these monitors and what's the resolution?
Will it work with IPAD Pro 12"???? I will use it in a stationary position, taking the IPAD when I go out.
Does it work when my MacBook Pro is on a laptop stand?
Sidecar with iPad disconnects when streaming videos on it due to some copyright issue playing media on a secondary device. It also freezes when a RAM intensive app window is displayed on the iPad. My guess is bluetooth's limited bandwidth can't handle the data transfers. Other than these 2 limitations, the iPad makes a really good companion for a MacBook on the go.
Hi Alex, I've got a MacBook Pro and similar screens to you made my Teamgee., I. also bought the OWC TB4 docking station, I've connected one cable to my MacBook and then one cable from 1 screen to the dock then the other screen connected to the dock, and still only 1 screen is showing up as before without the dock, the other screen says no signal then turns off. any idea what I can do to get them both working?
I have been looking into this solution for myself for a while i would love to be able to code while I’m away from my desk but i must be able to see my emulator and have chrome open without having to switch between desktops did you find the screen quality distracting with the MacBook screen so much better?
Interesting device, it could be handy. Can you use one of the monitors for something else? like monitoring a camera or a mac mini?
the "giant" monitors are 4k 27 "? MacOS with that resolution and size fits well or not?
Good video!
Hi Alex, Good review. I was wondering what screen resolution these run at? With older eyes that have been staring at screens for over 35 years, small screens have become a bit of an "avoid them" kind of thing... 👀+ 👓 😢... As long as I can make the text big enough I'd be ok... BTW... you should try some light gaming on them... 🤣
We seem to be having the same tech needs
In the video, the screens' brightness seems to be very low. How is it compared to the MacBook screen?
Maybe two half Sized Screens would be the sweet spot to work with. It could be folded space efficient - no double whopper. And enough space for some more windows.
I am only starting to learn code, so I don't know if I need this setup, but I know someone who could use this one at home.
I'm just using an old iPad to extend the screen. Unfortunately it doesn't work very well as Alex mentioned.
Would be pretty useful for the learning environment. I start my postgrad study in the university, so the timing to win something like that is perfect 😁
