The portable monitor turned heads at CES 2024 with its strange modular display system that can combine multiple displays to turn your laptop into a five-screen monster.
The startup has launched three new products in a bid for one of the best portable monitor manufacturers at the show, including its 24-inch foldable offering, the Twins, along with a device with two 14-inch sliding screens, the Flex, as well as a single 15.6-inch screen, called the Mono.
But the company drew attention with one particular demonstration involving two 14-inch Flex displays: connecting two of them to a single laptop via two USB-C connections to augment it with four additional displays. The result is a five-screen (general) display for multi-directional productivity.
Unleash the beast
Although adding four additional displays undermines the portability of using, say, just one of these devices, it is an option for users who may not have access to multiple monitors in the workplace or at home.
The Flex includes two Full HD IPS LED displays with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and a brightness of 300 nits, the manufacturer claims. The display, which also has a 1000:1 contrast ratio, is powered by a single USB-C connection. The device also weighs 1.95 kg and its measurements are 208 x 305 x 30 mm.
This device is compatible with all major systems including Mac, Windows, Linux, as well as Android, although rotating the screens to portrait mode is only supported on Windows.
The Flex is a slightly larger successor to the 13.3-inch Slide model, which weighs 2kg but is only 20mm thick. The 15.6-inch Mono, on the other hand, weighs just 700g and is 7.6mm thick as it offers a single display.
This single-screen system is comfortable with PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox and Switch, while also adapting to the iPhone with the help of a power adapter that is not sold separately.
Meanwhile, Twins offers potential customers a much larger portable screen thanks to its foldable nature. The startup is pitching this to professionals and creatives, in particular, who may need a much larger canvas without compromising portability.
