Instead of having two separate displays side by side, Geminos stacks one monitor on top of another in a one-piece but foldable setup.
The Mobile Pixels Geminos Dual Vertical FHD Monitor incorporates two vertically stacked 1080p at 60Hz HD displays. It folds like a laptop, but you can position it so that both screens are straight on or slide the lower screen to an angle of your choosing. You could position the upper and lower screen at 90 degrees, for example.
This vertical setup seems odd until you think about the way we use two monitors horizontally. With the traditional side-by-side setup, you have to twist your neck to see the screen that isn't directly in front of you, and inevitably there's an empty space between the screens.
Depending on the placement of your webcam, that can mean your video-call colleagues see the side of your head rather than your face as you scan the second display in the middle of a call. With both screens directly in front of you, you are always facing your colleagues and what is on the screen.
Mobile Pixels is aiming the sliding mechanism Geminos at the creator market-media creation and editing tasks may suit the vertical setup-but the design could work for other users who prefer a large screen space in front of them while they work. The total diagonal size of the merged display is 34 inches.
Most useful is the Geminos T version (fave.co/3xTOsbc), where the lower monitor is a touchscreen. I can imagine that editing video or audio on the lower-angled touchscreen display while the video plays on the upper screen would be more useful than having to scan two monitors side by side.
Excel users might appreciate the ability to vertically stack their data and spreadsheets, and writers their documents and supporting materials. if you find two side-by-side displays useful, consider whether a vertically stacked setup might suit you better.
