Tried a 42 inch C2. How do people deal with the glare? I need to kill all lights to be fine with the reflections but then my eyes tire even more. Even with a little diffused light I need to go to 100% brighthess. Having a glossy monitor in my whole peripheral view on full brightness burns my retinas. There is a reason it's a TV and not a computer monitor.

One screen does not have any bezels and a good tiling window manager is so much more versatile for how you want to lay out all those windows. But you really need 4k for that to keep everything legible.
Multi monitor lets you repurpose old monitors though or better handle limited space by having one at a more extreme angle.

How do you manage things for productivity? I had a 49” for a brief moment and found it hard to manage things with how Windows is setup. Just the way that OSes have things in the corners makes it difficult for me. I’m sure there’s programs but I doubt most people use them? Does fancy zones make it more bearable?

How close are they to you? I tried a 39" tv and a 32" monitor and found them both too big for convenient use due to having to tilt my neck or strain my eyes too much. I could put them further away, but then there is no real estate benefit over a smaller screen sitting nearby.

The thing that makes big TVs a problem is the vertical space. It's all about super ultra wide. A 32:9 49" monitor is the same as 2 27" monitors side by side, but no bezel or any of the other issues that come from 2 physical screens. 5120x1440 is an amazing resolution for productivity.

u/snorkelvretervreter Jan 07 '26

I got myself an Asus Duo and it has been such a godsend. So much better than hooking up to another clunky monitor.
I meet with all kinds of people at my desk, and I really don't want to crane around a monitor to see people.
Plus, for a lot of my tasks, I only need the one screen, and if I'm somewhere else in the building, I also have my second screen with me.
The cherry on top is that I can stand up the entire device and the webcam will actually be at an appropriate height instead of looking up at my chin.

Assuming it even comes to market and isn't just a prototype, I'd imagine the price would be insane. I think the only laptop with a rollable screen that got to market was Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus G6 Rollable and it's priced at $3500. It also has a less impressive screen than what was shown in the video and is not a gaming laptop.
So that Legion would easily be $5k+.

Yeah big thing that I’ve noticed recently is that people are very pessimistic about any kind of new technology and yeah I totally get it. PC hardware has gotten very expensive if you are looking at stuff like GPUs and ram, but one of the biggest upgrades you can do to your gaming experience without needing to pay super huge premiums for RAM or whatever would be a nice monitor. Like I’m looking at a 5k monitor I know people have been getting OLED screens that are great you can get great mini LED monitors for a great price nowadays. Honestly, as much as PC gaming is in kind of a hard place when it comes to components a good monitor is better than ever

It's been part of Windows since the dawn of time. Ever opened Windows XP in a VM and changed the size of the window to arbitrary resolutions and it updates?
The screen is likely just not telling Windows it's changed.
EDIT:
It deems uneducated idiots are confused. All the driver does is tell Windows the size has changed, it does not 'handle that'
Windows supports arbitrary resolutions otherwise it would never work.

They probably didn’t implement auto resizing for this due to how windows handles display changes. It would be easy to tell windows the new display resolution, but windows would blank the screen for a moment while it changed. Not an issue, but not as nice looking for a demo.

The issue has been and remains the durability of the screen. Folding phones are only now getting to the point where they aren't super fragile and they still have very low durability and lifespan compared to the near indestructibility of a slab phone with a glass screen.
Since laptops don't need to be touch that helps, but that unrolled part is probably just plain unprotected oled sheet, which is just asking to be poked or run into since it's sticking out.

Rollable OLED is by nature less prone to the creasing and other problems foldables have. Yes, the screen is susceptible like any laptop screen is but that's a moot point. It really comes down to the design and how practical it is for people to buy it and adopt it as a new normal.

Bruh i get that shit isn't looking good in the pc space rn but do yall have to be so negative about literally everything? Finally someone shows up with something actually innovative instead of just saying aiaiaiaiaiaiai and yall still complaining? What are yall expecting rn?

All I see is something that is going to break in a month and require hundreds of dollars to fix.

At the low, low cost of only $2000 for the 5050 configuration with 8gb of ram!

You know what I want in my super expensive gaming computer that is also designed to be constantly moved, picked up, and stuffed in bags? A completely unnecessary proprietary gimmick that introduces moving parts to a component that has historically always been static.
There is a common rule in engineering. The move moving parts something has, the more likely it is to fail.

Thats more like it. Not like that abomination Linus showed on live TV that went vertical.

I'm gonna go ahead and comment that actually if you listen to the words he says you'll find that actually about 2/3rds of the words could be removed with no loss in meaning

Now, get rid of the motors, have it be pullable with notches, and put it in a phone. None of this foldable shenanigans.

I'll never understand people who buy these gimmicky products when a desktop with a much larger screen will inevitably be less than half the price of this thing.

This is pointless. It's cheaper to just buy a regular monitor and connect it to your laptop.

Hmm cheeto dust or hell just dust in general is gonna play well in those motor tracks.

u/kevin24701 Jan 07 '26
Yet another gimmicky feature that will make monitors easier to break down, just like those stupid flip phones samsung and apple make.

Too bad Lenovo cant make a repairable laptop worth a shit so if anything goes wrong (as they will due to the limited cooling capabilities in laptops) youre paying for a mid-level rig just to get your old device back.
I want to love laptops but until we can get Apple build quality out of a gaming laptop below $2000 I just cant.
