Unfortunately, you might see comments from scammers pretending to be me. Look for my name next to the photo and not something like *contact me on telegram*. if you click on the name it should link you to my channel.

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...

@duartelucas8129 Год назад

The spring on the thing is really strong. You have to be careful not to sever a finger 😆

@ismailfateen3170 2 года назад

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

@somebrains5431 2 года назад

I’ve been using an 10.5 iPad Pro as a 2nd monitor on the go with an 11” Air for years. Mx Air and a 12.9” iPad Pro would be an upgrade. The external display looks cumbersome. I just want to flip 2 cased devices closed, throw them in my bag, and go.

@mehdiabdollahzadeh5041 2 года назад

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.

@bobvanwest Год назад

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

@Ruptured_AU 2 года назад

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.

@AY-gf3jq 2 года назад

It would be much more interesting if the portable monitor was a bit brighter and was the same size with the main screen. But it does the job. So, great in the end !!!

@Yukeake 2 года назад

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.

@duartelucas8129 Год назад

It just takes like a minute to setup.

@kenvererer 2 года назад

I've been a semi full-time traveler for ... 7 years now? We move about every six months to two years (covid made it two years where we are). I have a lot of travel stuff. Video game console? Nintendo Switch. Computer? Laptop. You get the idea. I actually do have an Asus USB C external monitor which I think I would prefer over solutions like these. I'm not super comfortable with the stress these things will put on my hinge and also, I'm not sure it's really necessary to line up your monitors exactly. I can pull out a significantly larger 15.6 inch USB C monitor and plug it in and have an extra display. Plus, it has a battery in it, so I can set it to not drain my laptop battery if I need to.

@AZisk 2 года назад

this thing does take a little getting used to, but after setup, i didn’t struggle much, except adjusting my eyes to changes between displays. but i would imagine that long time use of something like this might lead to scratches on the laptop body or lid if one is not careful. not sure how it would affect the hinges

@jorschachblatant1934 2 года назад

OK... This is definitely a product for some people, but it is dim, so not for outside work, and it is clumsy, so you need a lot of room to set up, and if you are talking about the Kickstarter project, it was a scam. So overall, -1/10. Not worth it for most people.

@ekhodykin 2 года назад

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.

@SoftwareManiacLSM 2 года назад

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).

@SuperAnamaria2 2 года назад

I always use my iPad Pro as secondary screen, the laggy connection becomes stable when plugged with usb-c. This concept of screens on the go seems appealing, but the resolution (specially vs a MBP 16” M1) it should be good if I want to work for more than 30 min (becoming picky with age 🤣), care to mention? Didn’t seem great in the video…

@Jarek. 2 года назад

5:19 - I also noticed frequent disconnections from iPad running Universal Control/Sidecar. Honestly, this is one of these things which causes that - after initial excitement - I don't use this feature anymore. Shame on you, Apple!

@nomad100hd 2 года назад

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.

@josephkarman 2 года назад

Didn't really see if the screens didn't reflect too much and if the brightness was good enough to not be too dark when used in a bright environment (let's say you have your back against the window and it's very sunny outside ... I mean, we don't have the chance to pick the perfect spot at Starbucks every time right 🤣). Thanks for the review and video as always.

@JohnnyZ-f5c 6 месяцев назад

I've been using iPad as sidecar in Starbucks for long in different countries. No one deems me a weirdo yet. It is a good idea to have an extra screen on the other side the primary screen, at least for balance reason, but I won't go for such visual quality unless they get upgraded to at least 2.5k resolution with 99% adobe rgb color gamut. It would be a huge contrast to the retina screen of my MacBook Pro, in terms of both clarity and color.

@warrenbennett6950 10 месяцев назад

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?
