displays that uh attach onto your laptop allowing you to have the triple screen experience which is amazing because nothing's more frustrating than getting really used to having multiple monitors and then having to go work on your laptop for a long amount of time and it's just brutal having to you're always fiddling with your Windows and stuff like this this allows you to maintain a semblance of portability without having to deal with having a tiny screen and I'm pretty excited about it so let's take a look let's what do they say on the back of the box about the zbex try screen is it zbek or zebek I don't know so the future of work reimagined the zebex try screen 2 adds two additional screens to any laptop maximize productivity without sacrificing portability time to free myself let's open it this is a fun presentation looks like right here they have a QR code for like a quick setup guide that's nice wow welcome to the zebek family I'm part of it so what we have in the box is here the screen the screens itself inside we have a user guide with a QR code so if you want to if you don't like paper additional accessories and cables two HDMI mini HDMI two USB a to USBC USBC 90 degree pass-through charging adapter a velcro cable tie two USBC two USBC cables and a USBC extender oh and look at that some stickers there's a little bit of background to the ShortCircuit if a few months ago on Linus Tech tips we covered a product called the quumsy P2 Pro and we were pretty excited about it because it was like this product that had for so long had been like hinted at with a phrasers like project Valerie or whatever well you'll see in that video is that we found that there was another company called portable that was uh doing a Kickstarter at the time and they were basically a scam artist is what we've deduced apparently they haven't shipped anything I haven't looked up recently if they have clumsy was able to you know deliver a product however we got an email from the CEO of zebek who wanted to tell us his side of the story clumsy has allegedly infringed upon zebex patents two of them so they have active lawsuits going on right now this doesn't mean that that clumsy actually did that but there's a tendency for these no-name Chinese manufacturers to find like a good idea on a Kickstarter and then they can ramp up production and get to Market before that Kickstarter can actually go through it so lots of times you'll see companies do things like they'll make a product for another company and then sell it out the back door as their own product the CEO of zebek told me about how their first manufacturer was actually doing this so they had to move and find another manufacturer clumsy basically just found their product copied it as closely as possible while making enough changes to kind of get away with it but clumsy even went so far as to use these guys's manuals they would like actually just put in the zebek manual and it would have a link to zebex support So when people had problems with their clumsy monitors they would go and clog up zebek like it would screw zebek over so they had to deal with like all of this extra like BS just because clumsy was using it I had a lot of issues with it you can go see that video on last tech tips Linus liked it but uh it did it did things but it didn't do anything particularly well and it seemed like a very first generation product what I'm hoping is that the zebek tri-screen 2 also being at the second generation of this product has ironed out a lot of those Kinks so we're going to take a look at that today it comes folded up like this I'm trying to figure out how I even open it there's a kickstand here okay and that comes out ah okay interesting so you would take your laptop just take this MacBook again so what the clumsy would do is that it would like you have a button it would extend outwards and then you could just kind of Ratchet and adjust it to the exact dimensions of your screen this one does not have that kind of ratcheting mechanism so I believe that that's what this strap is for but I don't know how it would stay maybe there's stickers or something already I'm noticing one thing that I like about this and that's that your screens are protected when they're closed when they're on the back of your laptop they're not exposed to the rest of the world like they were with the Quincy which was like just freaking stupid oh I see I wasn't supposed to take this out mistakes were made okay so this elastic band is going to do is that it is that it's gonna make this so that it stays tight to your laptop it prevents you from pulling it out super far and it would just fall off so what I will do is I'll take it I'll extend it we'll place it on the top of the laptop and as you can see it's pretty heavy your laptop hinge is not going to be able to handle this on its own which is why they include this kickstand it kind of flimsy though do you see that bend that's a lot of flex there I wish it was metal you actually will need this to be the full length this is kind of having the is there another one on the other side no this is kind of having the same issue as like the Nintendo switch kickstand where it's like boom baby here we go oh yes and it curves in another stupid thing about the clumsy monitors which they're like we have 270 degrees of uh movement but uh the 270 degrees was like from here to like here whereas this actually has a way to pull it in so I'm not so wide like because then I can still have the screens but I'm not taking up a ton of space all right so let's get her plugged in so this is already showing why they give you so many goddamn cables is because if you're in a scenario where you're on an older laptop like this MacBook and you don't have the USBC you'll have to adapt to the USB type A which is great that they give you adapters but before we get plugged in let's learn about our sponsor secret lab thanks to secret lab for sponsoring this video secret lab chairs are designed to keep you comfortable for those long nights of work and play they're Titan Evo 2022 series chair offers four-way lumbar support comes with a magnetic memory foam head pillow and is offered in different upholsteries like hybrid leatherette soft food fabric and Napa leather best of all a five-year extended warranty is included along with a 49-day return policy so you're covered if anything goes wrong head to the link in the description and check out secret lab today all right let's plug her in I'd want it like this so the wires are away from me okay are there buttons on the top so on the top of each side there is an on-screen display button a and a plus and minus button I imagine those would typically be for brightness there are also for navigating the display they also send us like this adapter which I guess will allow it to be USB a to an HDMI and a USBC and then what's this the USB-C a arrangement from the display menu That's not in here all right the MacBook we're going elsewhere oh we tried getting it to work on this thing real quick but it was having troubles there are drivers we just didn't want to go and install all of them we didn't want to go through the rigmarole of doing exactly what they've laid out for us in the instructions uh this is a 14 inch HP Elite folio here's the downside if you have an ultra slim like laptop that does not have very many ports this is going to take up two of them hey it says that back on both sides oh and it worked automatic it's just it's already on it was that easy actually um the screen sizes are not correct this one's like a little bit off on the sides but that we can fix that real quick by adjusting our display settings and then we're gonna adjust oh I should set up screen capture now I don't have OBS on this do we have OBS on here already oh we're switching again get on there little doggy okay so we're just getting the display set up the nice thing is that it is like recognized immediately as a display I can adjust the brightness using this using the tops of each display and that's nice that they have individual brightness because if you're say you're sitting in the sun there's a bit of an angle battery life's always a concern this is going to start sucking a lot of battery this is probably using like pulling 10 watts like 5 watts each out of your battery so that's really gonna have an impact on how long you're gonna be able to use your computer so this is kind of the thing that you might want to be using your laptop plugged in for so as speaking of charging you can actually use the screens as a pass-through to charge your laptop in case you're in the scenario like with the elite folio that we had earlier where you only had two USBC ports so you're not totally stuck you can still charge with pass-through charging probably at a lowered speed so each display is 10.1 inches and Is 1920 by 1200. their LCD IPS displays they have a 60hz refresh rate 180 degree screen rotation I mean that sounds about right adjustable brightness we also have other settings in the on-screen display color temperature you have HDR on these no how yeah their variance and brightness is not huge here's a discipline this is disappointing you know I was talking about like quick portability and being able to just kind of lift up and move it wherever because of the plug being down here it prevents you from being able to slide in the laptop while keeping everything plugged in so if I want to like move I have to take this out and then this out and then and now I can go but like at least it's still like okay I'm done I can throw it in a bag but it would have been really nice if these could have stayed plugged in so like if we had them on the outside I do understand how that would introduce a lot of extra cable length to have to go around the other side and that again would be its own set of issues um so it's a trade-off that they had to make I'm neither here nor there on it I think it's fine I will say the size is being 10.1 inches is kind of small I know it allows for extra flexibility if I've changed it to HDR and now all the colors on this are very wonked my battery is running low I might want to plug in my PC see as I said it does consume battery quite quickly I was at 20 when I put this on and attached it and now it's gone yeah I don't know if I'd call this HDR but it's actually quite a good looking display I don't hate it this is like so this is like a lot of this is what I wish the clumsy monitor did it takes a lot of the issues I had with that in terms of its fit and finish it's usability just unplugging this and sliding in this this mechanism is not perfect on this side um and I wonder how it's going to hold up being all plastic but like this is the exact thing I would want this is exactly what I was kind of looking for the price is 500 which sounds like a lot but think about it like this you get not one but two ten inch screens and you get this convenient form factor plus a ton of cables like they really wanted you to cover every single use case they didn't want you to be stuck without a way to like a way to use this on your laptop I wonder if this would work with some of the bigger 17-inch laptops like let's use this grain real quick hmm lttstore.com it's water bottle drink it's just she just barely fits and it does oh my God oh I do wish that maybe it was bigger than 10.1 inches I wish they went to like 12. I know that's not really the most common panel size what's limiting a lot of Manufacturers is that if you need a display you can't get it in just any size you want 10.1 inches is like a common tablet size so that probably made it a lot easier for them to get these displays what is happening here whoa wait what the hell how come they're both on the same one now these just come off of this rail see how there's this this whole exit point so when you push it back in I don't know it seems to not be doing it oh it happened this one fell out it seems like I mean there's other companies that make these there's a company called like mobile pixel that I believe makes a similar product the really hard part about this is not the displays for me I don't really care that much about the quality of the display because this is kind of an office work thing it's about the mechanism like this doesn't sit flat you know like I use this once and now I can't get it in flat okay if I press the bottom of it so if I go like this and I press down here then it lays flat I'm disappointed I'm a little sad there's already like plastic and stuff rubbing off just from the few times I've opened it you can see scrapes along the bottom you can get a really high quality portable monitor for like 400 bucks like this ASUS Rog strix 15.6 inch monitor that's like designed for gaming and also has the same kind of thing as a built-in kickstand yeah it doesn't suspend here but how many scenarios where you're using this thing where you can't use a portable monitor like you don't also have enough table surface for portable monitor maybe on like a train or a plane and maybe that's a really this is really important to you try to portable monitor first if that really doesn't work for you then maybe look into this what do you think is this a dream worth chasing is this something that we need to see more of in the market and it's just not quite there or is it a little bit of a nightmare I can answer that I'll be the judges there what am I looking at it's another try oh God this again but this is the one from the company that is suing clumsy oh yeah cool so we covered it but it's uh kind of clumsy it's a funny joke it's kind of clumsy if you like this ShortCircuit tell your friends if you didn't like it shut up no one likes a whiner if you would like to watch another video why don't you watch uh the one about the Star Wars TV that ploof did it's a Star Wars on you TV what now I feel bad"}
