PLEASE be good! - Kwumsy P2 Pro Triple Monitor

I've been waiting for something like this for far too long. Getting work done on a laptop can be a pain with just one screen, but this $599 attachable display from Kwumsy/Ofiyaa allows you to have 3 monitors anywhere you can put your Macbook... or other 13.3-to-approximately-17-inch laptop.

13:10 "After realizing that, please don't mention OFIHAA and please don't tell the difference to your audience"
lol

[SurgStriker]

Love the e-mail explaining the two company thing, specifically saying "Do not mention ofiyaa! Do not tell your audience about this!"...and LTT said "screw you, we are doing ALL of that!"

[de_vega]

i'm so glad you guys covered this product because i ended up with one as well. it's...not great, but it's functional. hoping another company improves on this design!

I use the Mobile Pixel Trio. It's perfect for my small workspace in Tokyo. I also love how you are able to detach one of the screens and utilize it independently on a kickstand for something, like a switch. I recommend you check them out.

Someone that ran a Kickstarter campaign once told me being 8 years late & not able to ship everything was still good... because they said "most kickstarters fail". I guess 🤷 thats just the mindset when there isn't really any negative consequences to not getting it right.

"Please don't mention Ofiyaa and please don't tell the difference to your audience" Welp, -1 point for Kwumsy (while I understand the intra-company struggle, you really shouldn't put yourself in a situation where you tell a review channel what not to tell their audience), and +1 for LTT not taking the bait.

That said, just the fact that they went through the additional effort of printing their quickstart guide in color – something I see very seldom in these kinds of direct-from-china products – _is_ a sign to me that at the very least they're not absolute charlatans (or if they are, they at least have some standards xD)

Linus is the type of guy to start a factory and engineering team to build stuff like this. Mark my words, this'll happen in 10-15 years.

[TheDwarvenDefender]

Jay put out a video titled "I thought I wasted my money... Turns out I needed this all along!" where he went over an identical product from a company called TeamGee. I didn't even realize that this wasn't the same name as the Kwumsy in this video. In a follow-up video titled "I'm disappointed in myself... I need to make this right, " he explained that the co-founder of a company called XEBEC contacted him to say that they are the patent holders and are suing TeamGee, and sent him an updated design with sliding screens.

That intro lol... Linus has come a long way as part comedian, part enterpreneur, part giganerd.

Finally! Linus can break three birds with one drop.

Mobile Pixels has been shipping lightweight attachable monitors like their Duex Pro for years from their own web store and on Amazon. I've purchased a couple of them for our productivity minded management staff at my workplace and aside from permanently affixing a few metal discs to the back of the laptop the monitors are incredibly easy to install and use. I recommend installing them with the base touching the tabletop you're using so that the side monitors have extra support. No laptop hinge is designed to carry 3 monitors.

Edit: watched further into the video and the Duex is also much lighter, each display works over one USBC or USBA cable (although type A uses a software display driver so lag and compression exists) and installs their drivers automatically upon connection or in many cases works without any drivers. I've never seen a Duex unit need additional driver installation, though I've never tried to connect one with USBA. The Duex is also able to be powered by the one USB cable and does not require any external power supply (but again, I've only ever used it on a Thunderbolt capable type C port).

And yes. These low power displays are not very bright or color accurate. None of them are.

Adam grows on me with every one of his videos. Seems like he really does his homework/prep work well.

[Shoey]

kudos to you guys for putting your own experiences with portbl/slidenjoy in the beginning there.

[HamerReviews]

“please don’t mention Ofiyaa“ Aah Kwumsy, you clearly haven’t watched enough LTT videos 😆

[chasm]

This is a really cool concept, and I would love to see it get fine-tuned into something amazing. I can see this being a game changer for anyone that travels a lot for their work or even, depending on the price, being a primary multi-monitor solution for college students pursuing degrees in fields where this would greatly increase their productivity.

[stevefox]

As someone who has three 32" screens on my PC and still wants more screen area, I can definitely see the worth of this product for tiny laptops!

[Neoxon]

My dad has an additional monitor for his laptop that attaches to the main screen, although that’s an add-on. I’m surprised it took this long for an official one that’s multi monitor out of the box to happen.

[JanTuts]

Honestly though, if it needs 2 cables to get full brightness anyway, you might as well get 1 or 2 separate mobile monitors, like the Lenovo L15 Mobile Monitor, for a lower price (+-200€ per screen, versus +-550€ for the Kwumsy P2 Pro), a less finicky and constrained setup, and a thinner transportable package.

8:32 the brightness control is probably linear, when brightness perception is logarithmic.

[cancerboy]

That’s an incredible product, I can see getting a lot of use out of something like that. Especially if you don’t have room for a ultra wide monitor, or any monitor. Hopefully they’ll mKe a new version with some of those recommended fixes.
