This is certainly a unique piece of tech, but I agree with your points. The brightness issue is a deal breaker for outdoor usage especially, and the cost just seems prohibitive for what it delivers.
@@sntslilhlpr6601I guess they are not even aiming at techies, but at people who want to camp but can't really keep away from technology and who will easily pay for something so overpriced because they don't know better.
A homebrew version of this concept would be a great project for Matt at DIY PERKS. He would definitely do the speakers right, and inside the rugged suitcase, it would probably be a brass and hardwood veneer beauty. He's also done outdoor TVs and power stations, so he has the skillset. Maybe this could be the mythical DIY Perks - LTT collab, with LTT contributing the electronics - perhaps based on parts from Frameworks Marketplace?
@@TheTastefulThickness True, don't even need the battery pack since most laptops include one inside. A low effort, low fidelity version is easy. But the cool project would be to emulate the LG luggable with super bright screen, high quality audio, extended unplugged playtime, and maybe some gaming capabilities.
I saw this, and immediately thought it would be perfect for a small display at conferences. A lug in, lug out, easy to deploy display for the showroom floor.
Man, this takes me back. There were this old portable suitcase gaming monitors from Gaems that were hdmi powered from the xbox360/ps3, you only needed the console brick. They were super cool
9:38 - I think I discovered the perfect use of this. This is a PERFECT setup for NYC chess hustlers. I can imagine seeing one of them plop this down to play with other people and blasting their music through the included speaker.
Yeah but... Not really? Battery life is very low, it's expensive af. Connected board go for way less and you could just get a tablet and Bluetooth speakers then
For camping, I initially tried mobile projector. It was very dim, managing white background was quite a battle. I bought cheap 27" monitor (which has a 75hz LG IPS panel) with 12V input, use a 20Ah powerbank to power the monitor. With that, I use a MI TV stick, and a cheap (redmi) soundbar. I am using this setup for 2 years, the powerbank provides more than 3 hours. My total cost is less than 150 USD.
I literally put together the same thing for my studio and client work where I show the customers without them having to hover over my laptop. I used a portable display for $100, a cheap camera tripod, and a tablet wall mount holder, the monitor is used for multiple purposes, the Monitor can be powered and USBC can power it + the signal can come from either HDMI or USBC for camera work depending on what you want to hook up to it, I used a power bank to power it if the source is HDMI..... The whole thing probably cost me $150...
You don't have speakers, and the monitor isn't touchscreen. I'd say $400 is a good price for a more comprehensive solution such as this one, and I'd say $6-700 if they improved on the drawbacks. But as it is, this looks and feels way too cheap for the asking price. It costs as much as a high end LG TV whilst cheaping out on so many aspects...
@@FrequencyOfThought Nice, I agree with you, those portable $80-100 displays are really good I just got one, plus it's way more flexible and upgradable (e.g., bt speaker can be used by itself and is better than the vids product). To the other guy, you can get the touch version for like 30-40 dollars more, and if you want a used briefcase isn't expensive either.
@@debiancool I don't mean to say that this is more cost-effective than buying all items separately, just that it's great as a hassle-free set for people who don't want to deal with setting things up. It's like purchasing an all-in-one PC instead of buying a desktop and monitor separately.
If I could get this purely as a touchscreen monitor built into a case, no "smart"/battery/speakers, I'd buy 3 immediately. I work in entertainment, and a rugged touchscreen monitor built into a case that can deploy quickly would be AMAZING.
I mean there are some pretty fancy portable monitors anymore, some even OLED and 144hz. You could just slide them in a backpack at that point. It's fancy, but I don't think very necessary.
This thing looks more like it's supposed to look rugged than be rugged to me. There are plenty of solutions for monitors in road cases, including some that don't even require you to remove the monitor from the road case but just take off the front, or open the top and extend a vesa mount.
If it was only a good panel, I’d buy 3 for client monitors for film production. It would be a really convenient form factor compared to what we usually have, but 250 nits will get you nowhere.
Yeah you can get that... And you don't even need to pay production equipment of prices like you used to... Also I'm not really sure this is rugged necessarily.. it didn't give the impression that there was ruggedness involved lol. But it is incredible over the last seven to 10 years how utterly the price and availability of these things that used to be pretty much bracketed off as rental equipment for production crews has hit the prosumer and then the consumer market even.. No I can't speak to an all-in-one, but I can say that it would not be hard to put an all-in-one together that would be better and probably cheaper by far.. probably one of the other on that case but well.. maybe significantly in one direction of better or cheaper.. and then equivalent at least in the other regard.. I know DIY perks has done a bunch of projects like this but.. That's more boutique than it is practical in a lot of cases, well it is practical it's it's just you know... Not exactly always accessible necessarily for just what you're doing here.. The real trick would again be the rugged part, which I don't think this is.. but the experience I have with OLEDs, in that if they're not made specifically to do that... They're not... But LCDs on the other hand.. they make those in every flavor and it wouldn't be too hard to actually ruggedize an LCD panel of quality and my quality I really just mean like acceptable quality not this quality.. so you know a significant step above this quality but obviously not ideal if you were just going out and getting a monitor or a display TV.
6:31 I actually just found how to turn off the screen the other day. You have to go to advanced display settings, go to the power savings mode, and there is an option to turn off the display there.
When i first got mine i was able to toggle the energy saving on or off battery. They must have updated and not you cant turn it off or change brightness at all on mine.
12:45 The JBL Charge is not a stereo speaker, while it does have 2 drivers one is a racetrack woofer and the other is a tweeter. If you want a weather-resistant JBL speaker with stereo you would need to either get an Xtreme or a Boombox with neither of those options being super portable or cheap.
To be fair, he said "stereo ready." According to the JBL Charge 5 product page, their Partyboost feature allows for stereo mode when two of the same speaker models are paired using the JBL app.
I have done the home theatre in the woods thing. It's pretty simple. You bring some white sheets, mobile projector and Blutooth speakers. You get a much bigger screen, with a much smaller carry size, much lower weight, much lower cost and much more battery time. And probably, much better audio quality. EDIT: For those who may wonder _why_ I have done this, it's not just to watch movies from my hammock. It's because I'm an archer and I love to shoot blunts at it at night. I originally wanted to use a camera and make a bow hunting game. Free idea for anyone who wants it. I still think it's a good one.
I've used a similar type of set up when we used to go watch motor racing. I also invested in a Bluetti solar power bank that runs 12V and 240V uk power and can last 6-12 hours depending on the draw and will recharge on a nice sunny day if you bring your solar panel as well.. If it ain't broke then don't fix it
As a touring professional in the music industry, I could see SOO many applications for this!! Having a touch screen monitor built into travel case on a flexible mount?? Perfect for Monitor engineers, playback techs, and FOH
If you removed the speakers, I would see this be good for smaller panelists at expos. You just come in with your promotional material, put it in the corner and have something to catch the eye. No fiddling with organizers or fighting with other panelists, and you have one less thing to worry about.
Haha I'd still take a portable monitor powered over usbC by a small laptop hidden beneath the table or something 😅 Edit: what do you know, they actually mentioned this in the video
Yeah but even plugged in 500 nits is terrible for a setting full of bright lights like that, not to mention it's fairly small and the resolution is crap. I just don't understand who this is for... It's as if they did the bare minimum for it "to exist" and then said fuck it and put a 1200$ sticker on it.
Would barely be visible in a brightly lit expo hall. Buying a $199 40" TV from walmart and just dumpstering it after the event would be a superior experience.
if you DONT want to see shaved linus... 1. he showed up in yesterday's YT short 2. he was in the most recent ep of the WAN show. if Floatplace Exclusives are the most updated videos they release... then you have at least 6 days until you see shaved linus regularly in LTT's usual videos.
Put the screen in the back panel where the speakers are that can still pull forward for rotate then set up to that back can pen up all the way but lock able in different angle. Put speakers in the bigger bottom with arms that pull them up and out to the side of the screen. Then fill in left over space with whole removeable mini PC that easy to change the parts out for. It would look a lot better then.
Having visited and checked out camping spots in Korea, this is totally the kind of product they would purchase just to ensure their kids have something to watch/use while “camping” in their high end vehicles/tents. 😁
I noticed out 3 things: the shaved Linus still look nice as much as the bearded Linus, "standbyme go" could be also "standby amigo", there's a big squirrell going down from a tree behind Linus in a segment of this video.
BEDMINTON CENTER IDEA: STEP 1: Create a different company, responsible of maintaining the Badminton center called "Hopes And Prayers" STEP 2: Put up a giant sign at the entrance to the center with the words: "Maintained By Hopes And Prayers"
Was that..... a Hillary Duff quote in the second sponsor spot? "(don't) let the rain fall down, and wake my (disrupt your) dreams." Which writer wrote that? Because they are now my favorite! xD
Maybe if it was more accurate and took the speakers out, this would be awesome for video work. Actually forget that, lg should put a better hinge on the case itself and mount the screen to it like a laptop. Then have a foldable hood around the display. Add controls, batterys, and connectors to the bottom half. Then throw in an actually accurate display. Most production companies would love it.
This reminds me of one of those Pelican cases that I see people on Reddit slapping full desktop setups in. If I were camping, I'd rather a laptop, this would be better for a RV or something. Speaker orientation should be either foldouts or as you mentioned, up firing. For the price, you could fabricate a better DIY solution. It's still neat though.
I took my 32" 110V flat screen TV fishing the other night. I used a battery box i built. With a 500 watt invertor. I fished and watched the nascar race for more than 7 hours. My battery still had 70% battery life.
Linus this brings up an idea for a challange, namely to get some of your guys working together to build "A Cheep Large Suitcase PC". Trying to make one that is cheeper and better in specification, than that perthetic thing that is clameing to be a "TV".
They would need an actual challenge though, so they would need to do something like can you make it have 24 hours of battery life in the same weight or can it include an entire gaming PC for 4+ hours of portable gaming or something. Just beating this thing for half the price is way, way too easy to make a worthwhile video, literally anybody could do so.
12:55 I'd genuinely be interested in some All-in-one PC reviews sometime, haven't really thought about them in a minute and curious if they're any good or not
Last year i built a little on the go kodi setup, I bought a 16 inch 2.5k screen for less than 80 dollars, small sound bar for 45, an xbox series x carring bag for 50. Switch out the game bag for any console you have use the savings to buy a giant battery or a larger screen.
I can see how this could be useful for sales people who need to showcase their product to clients and want to setup 1-2 of those displays as demo booths (like for apps). They could even carry this as a backup in case the projector in the client's meeting room is broken (as it often is).
Titles normally change a couple of times in the first few days. It's not just a LMG thing either, it seems to be becoming standard. Floatplane still gets the sensible title though.
