So you mentioned that you don't like 16:9, and I'm curious as to why? Obviously this is all personal preference, but to me 16:9 is pretty much the perfect aspect ratio. My Tab S8U exposed me to 16:10 which I think I like slightly better, but 16:9 is one of the aspect ratios that the most content is designed around.
@luizz_k21 күн бұрын
Clearly you have never tried 4:3. For some reason 16:9 feels uncomfortable for me, maybe its the predator eyes vs herbivore eyes thing...
@sparky675721 күн бұрын
@luizz_k my Z Fold is pretty close to 4:3 and it's a serviceable aspect ratio for the limitation of needing to look like a phone when folded, but not ideal.
@strikejre81Ай бұрын
OK!!! Good to see that. But it needs a 4k version, better rigid hinge, keyboard backlight, the trackpad dual mode numbers and yes better ratio like 3:2 or 16:10. Maybe it can use with Surface Duo Windows too, or Android. To ergonomic the wireless charger will be down to keyboard and trackpad, but you have takes care don't hit the phone will is charging.

I love the concept, but there are better and cheaper options out there. I personally use an Asus portable monitor that has a battery and a touch screen. I got it on eBay for $200 and new it costs around $300 but there are a lot of portable monitors out nowadays with all different sizes and features. I have a full size Bluetooth keyboard I bought for $50 that pairs with my Fold 5 and my Surface Pro 9 so I get the same keyboard experience across devices with no comprise. I have a couple of mice but easily could have used just one that connects to 2 devices. If the monitor was $200, the keyboard $50, and the mouse $50, that is only $300 total. I like the phone stands that are also docks as this way I can still use my Fold 5 as a smaller 2nd screen. I want to like and use Dex more, but having the Surface Pro 9 and using that as a dual screen setup and then the Fold 5 as a 3rd screen is the best setup for me! The Fold 5 has its own folding mini keyboard so I can type separately on that!

Very weird that you don't like HDR? Is there a particular reason? Movies and games look 100 times better when HDR is enabled vs disabled on my OLED monitor (S90C)

Depends on how the monitor itself handles it. This is definitely not an OLED lol

@@scaryifliteral Sorry if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you didn't play with the settings enough. In windows, you can enable HDR, then adjust the brightness of non-hdr content to look good comparative to HDR, then adjust the brightness of your monitor to be not as bright as a whole. Also windows has the HDR calibration tool which let's you set lower max brightness. Sedondly there's monitor settings: It differs per brand, but for ex on samsung you can disable "peak brightness" and put contrast enhancer on low to get lower peak HDR brightness. Good HDR implementations in games (ex. Horizon Forbidden West) allow you to set every aspect of the HDR image seperately. I also can't stand the picture looking too bright, but if you configure HDR correctly for your own eyes then it looks so good.
@scaryifliteralАй бұрын
Look at it this way. You've got a spectrum from SDR to HDR. You can sort of tweak things to be where you want it to be to some degree. The more HDR you go, the more it bothers me and the line where it starts to annoy me is fairly early on. SDR is just safer/easier/better for me.

While that's what I personally would do (well, a tablet with a keyboard anyway), I asked this same question to a group of people who use these things and the reason they like them is -.they're cheaper than a decent laptop - since their internals are things that can't become obsolete before they wear out, you only need a new one as often as the thing physically stops working - the internals are upgraded every time you get a new phone - all of your files are on one device - no cloud syncing required Absolutely there are reasons to prefer a standalone laptop or tablet instead, but if your phone's capable of running all the software you use and all you need is a bigger screen and a keyboard, this is a convenient and budget-friendly way to do that. Unfortunately, these don't come with an S Pen, aren't super thin, can't detach the keyboard, don't support Samsung Second Screen on Windows for a wireless second monitor, and force you to use Dex's layout (I think One UI for tablets is much easier to use and cleaner-looking), so paying a little more for a new tablet every so often it is.

Way too expensive, ugly, poor screen and sound quality, not OLED😮, way to heavy and for the price it should have dual OLED screens with a visual keyboard and track pad that you can turn on and off like the Asus Zenbooks dual screen computers. If this is just a monitor it should have been loaded with all types of updated features. I would just get a super then light weight Chromebook book that would work way better than that thing. Sorry 😢. It's horrible.

Just keep in mind, as much as I love Chromebooks, you can't really plug something into them and use it like a monitor. I definitely think there are some things they could work on improving, mention them in the video, just want to point out it's a pretty different product than a Chromebook.

I have been using Samsung Dex 100% of the time for the past four years for work (electronic medical records, web-based resources, UpToDate, word processor, Excel, Google Sheets, etc.), personal use (web browsing, movies, email, etc.; I do not play video games, by the way). I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is much faster than any Chromebook. I love Chromebooks and have been using them for years as well, but not as much lately. I have a 43-inch Samsung monitor and a 15.6-inch laptop.
