I love the way you show your trial and errors in the videos.

I can't even imagine a woman seeing your apartment for the first time.
"How do I turn on the lights?"
"Well, all you have to do is stand here, raise your hand for 5 seconds, and a linear actuator will come out of the wall. Take note on the EL wire around the borders. Their are 17 easy to use compartments containing switches, which open hidden drawers. Once the drawers are open, you'll notice it can get quite dark, note the "natural" light illuminating the area I made from a broken laptop screen. Once you've made your way into the hidden drawers, simply connect your cell phone via this easy to use USB type c dongle. Once connected, connect to the wifi and download the app, "light-switch". And, that's all. P.S. Take note on the carbon fiber wrapped mdf board holstering the USB dongle".

I’m coming from the future and Asus took your laptop design 💻

9:15 you should make a collab with him, imagine the possibilities!!

Matt I just have to say that I love your personality and passion for these projects! I don't love your work because of the things you make, but because of the message you deliver with them. It shows that we don't have to purchase a lot of equipment or material and that we don't have to be afraid of experimenting with salvaged or "broken" technology. I mean we have to be cautious of electricity etc. of course :D, but that shouldn't hinder us to use our imagination. Please keep on going and inspire people, thanks!

friend: do you have a dual monitor desktop or a laptop by itself?
me: YES

[plentyofpaper]

Neat.
The hinge design folding backwards seems interesting as a presentation option.
I'd be a bit concerned about damaging the screen while transporting it though, as it's exposed constantly to the outside.
I would consider the merits of a pop-up/slider design as an alternative to the hinge design. You don't get the neat presentation mode, but I suspect it would be sturdier. Additionally, the top and bottom screen angles would always match... for better or worse.

Notification from this channel is like getting a gift😍

[AnnoyingNewsletters]

I saw an ad for a multi screen attachment earlier, but the price sent me here for a DIY approach.

I'm getting some of the problems ironed out in advance thanks to your tutorial.

Flawless ad segue, btw.

8:56 I thought that was a sponsor segue 😂

When you made your first diy secondary screen for laptop I took apart my old laptop with intention to make exactly what you did now. I stopped the project because I didn't know how to figure out the hinge so I don't damage my main laptop. Thanks to this I think I'll return to my idea :D Thousad times thanks!

[FromDesertTown]

Well done sir! I've been thinking about doing this exact thing for a long time, for the same reasons. It should absolutely be a thing. Asus' "Zenbook Duo" thing is no good because it requires looking down even further to see the secondary screen.
I think it's worth mentioning that you can buy a "portable monitor", which is basically a laptop screen + controller board. This would be a good starting point to building a monitor that sits on top of your laptop screen (you could strip it down to just the display and controller board, and go from there)

[orangehues]

Would be cool to add four things: 1. Use an old laptop screen and retain its bezel / casing. 2. Have the screen slide up instead of fold out. This way it would have a smooth back and a professional look. 3. Hide the controller inside the laptop by removing an unused optical drive to make space for it. 4. Power it from the laptop battery.
