    14 inch 1080p...price is "ok" considering is IPS (if the actual in use performance justifies it of course)

    but size is not IMO...should be minimum of 15 inch (which is still really small) would preferably be 17+ to actual get decent screen real estate especially for something like Win 10 which chews up a bunch of room when open start menu...win 7 is not so bad because is fairly compact way it was designed, but still, screen too tiny is never a good thing.

    they should make a "fold out" style so it could be a single 14 inch and if you feel you need the extra screen space, "fold out" the second screen which is also 14 inch, tada 28 inch combined

    am sure it would not be that hard to accomplish ^.^

    there is no way to stitch 2 rectangles with 14 inch diagonal in order to get a rectangle with 28 inch diagonal. You need to stitch 4 together for that.

    How do you expect a user to carry around a >17" display? This is a *portable* display first and foremost. 14" is probably the same screen size as most laptops it'd be used with. I would prefer 15 to match my laptops, but the choice makes sense.

    Also, two 14 inch displays don't make a 28 inch display. If you tiled them, you'd get an 18" 16:18 display or a 25" 32:9 display.

    Huh... the same way people have been carrying a 17" laptop since forever?

    I meant *larger* than 17 inches.

    2.2lbs? How?!?!?!?! There is no computer in this thing, no battery, no nothing. It is a panel and backlight. My laptop is considered heavy at 3.5 lbs, and almost that entire weight is the battery and heatsink. Somehow I would expect this display to weigh in at ~1lb. Maybe a little more than that with the cover/stand.

    I think it has integrated external GPU (mostlikely a cheap one), as it's not stated as a dp over usb3. That's probably why.
  • mr_tawan - Tuesday, May 15, 2018 - link

    corrections: over usb type-c (not usb3)

    "integrated external" GPU. Interesting...

    Make it more awesome: allow for daisy chain up to 6 external monitors

    First 14" sized, maybe. But Asus has made such screens for many years already.

    USB-C powered and operated?

    An extra hdmi input would be really convenient to have to increase its use cases.

    Does Cintiq count ?
  • mr_tawan - Tuesday, May 15, 2018 - link

    just rechecked. ... it requires a separated power supply so it's not portable :-/

    Well, there was the Lenovo LT1423. 13.3" though and not USB C (although USB 3.0). For 14" there was the LT1421, but that had low resolution (to be fair, not bad for the time).

    Now, as for 14" plus, AOC do one and it apparently has a USB C model.

    The Asus MB16AC is a much better option, 15.6 inch 1080p, over a single USB C or a USB A. It only weighs 780g, is thinner and you can even use a pen as a stand if you leave the case at home..

    They should maybe offer one with it's own rechargeable battery & also a larger size option.
    Then review it paired with one of the extra small Windows pocketable PCs, that's sort of the idea of an Intel NUC, but less than half the size. In other words: the CPU guts of a laptop, put into a pocket-sized chassis, about the size of two cell phones sandwiched together.

    Here's a market segment no-one is mentioning, and I made an account here to bring it up: musicians. 14 -15 inch is the perfect size to replace standard A4 sheet music. Now if they'd add mircast or something like that, that'd be a 1, 2 punch for most all classical musicians like myself, who keep most of their repertoire on their phones.

    Published sheet music tends to be larger than A4, so musicians can read it while it is on a music stand, not on their lap. Though many people reduce downloaded sheet music to A4 or Letter because that is the biggest size that fits in their home printer. Unfortunately large eBook readers are expensive.

    One exception is marching band music, which is small enough to clip to a small stand attached to an instrument or body, and not blow away. The print is smaller since it is held closer to the eyes.

    You could try to attach a phone or eBook reader to your instrument or body to hold it closer to your eyes, as in a marching band lyre or harmonica stand.
