The THINNEST Monitor EVER – C-Force Portable Display Review

This is about as thin as an LCD monitor can get! The C-Force CF015C is a super light and portable display for mobile productivity and gaming!

Watching Linus handling such a thin display gave me anxiety

[armadillowastaken]

Gamer: **gets angry**

Monitor: **chuckles** I’m in danger.

[colin]

I can't be the only one who creased in fear when Linus started flapping the screen around!?

[frankdegan]

Totally expecting it to be broken by the 2 minute mark....

[legendphantom]

The fact that a few decades ago, screens were giant and now they’re quite literally almost paper thin is incredible.

This monitor: 0.47 lb
Me eating my Double Quarter Pounder: Not bad.

Super thin means super easy to break

Linus: How on Earth do you build a display this frickin thin?

Would possibly be useful for drone controllers which have a decent camera attached.

Okay so I actually bought one of these displays after watching this video and there is some key differences from the demo model he has here.

First the display is much heavier then the one he has (about 700g)
Secondly, the reason for the weight, the finished product's base extends all the way across the back of the screen. giving the screen a rigid metal backplate which is extremely sturdy, more than most laptop screens.
Thirdly the connector jankiness is gone, at least it doesn't cut out at all if bumped (though you can still move it around a bit).
Fourthly the little slider on the other side when held down adjusts the brightness of the display.

Please note even if your motherboard has a type c it wont be able to run this display unless that type c has some access to graphics (like an igpu or a discrete pass through).
My Lenovo Thinkpad P1 recognizes the screen no problem but couldn't power it.
Monitoring the external power usage peeked at 15 watts. It is unclear how much it is pulling from the laptop.

6:05 What amazed me the most was the keyboard sliding out of the laptop... Never seen it before but why not?

[jakeconner]

i think it would be funny to see linus build a DIY Laptop using this and like an intel NUC type pc.

[romangervaise]

A 13 inch display with 4K resolution ? It's like putting racing tires on a Prius.

[peterxiong]

When you factor in all the hubs and external power required for this, a regular portable display seems far more practical. Still quite thin, and only requires one cable.

me: mom can we buy a pc ?
mom: no we have a pc at home.
