@@berrybigbYes it is, but external portable screens with panels matching these specs are easily a bit north of $300 each, so not that bad. Considering the good design and what seems to be good build quality, it is not unexpectedly high. Expensive, sure, but in the range I would expect for a product that does all this well. Most other similar solutions I have seen are garbage. This is the 1st one I have seen that I might buy and try. Still at this price, a bit more research first 😀

They put a ton of effort and planning into the original and this improved design. The owner David did this out of love for the Mac and wanting something that will match up perfectly compared to what was on the market, and invested A LOT of his own money and time into creating this. It's a very very small team and I commend them for what they have created that beats out everyone else on the market making competing products.

If they re release the 16" Version with the same design as here i might consider buying it. Such a cool concept and so nicely executed.

The important thing is that it eliminates the problem of buying more screens or devices and can make your life as a content creator easier

Love the low key DC rainmaker video shout out!!!!

I love gadgets and when they are this useful I love them even more. I checked the price-$750. A reasonable price for someone that could really get a lot of use out of this setup.

Seems game changer specially on the smaller 14” MacBook! I constantly use side car plugging my 11” M1 iPad Pro via a USB-C 3.2 cable. It’s really nice and helps a bit. Since the Duo accessory is pricey, I might considering getting one carefully 😬

@MaxTechOfficial

It definitely is! And the connection is way better where sidecar can still have latency even with a cable.

This is nuts, in a good way 😁

I sure !!!HOPE!!! and wish to be a MonTri version. Man, that would be so great. Very Great. Nice Review ;)

We need an update regarding % battery loss at a given time of usage and whether the internal fan is triggered for using these? An honest 9 months later review please.

I just bought this last night after seeing this video. Thanks, Max! By the way, there's a $50 coupon floating around on the Microsoft shopping plugin. So it was $699, free shipping, and no tax.

Did you receive it ?

I'm glad they fixed the location of the plugs. I had to buy 90-degree braided cables from Amazon to make the 16" one usable. Could you please comment on how heavy the 14" is? I could never use the 16" one on my lap but I'm hoping the 14" would be ok (without flopping over backwards)

Weight seems to be similar even though this one is made from metal, but this one is smaller so the helps to keep the weight centered.

I have the 16” version and having glass on the 14” version for the screens is a game changer!!

The 16" version was great and the best on the market, but this one is improved in every way!

750 usd is definitely quite steep. And I am worried whether this would affect the hinge of the laptop and in turn cause issues with the display.

Will they release a aluminium version of the 16 inch as well?

I would buy the 16" version if it was updated to the Aluminum casing.

Any plans on making the 16 inch version with this new aluminum design?

Did they or will they ever update the 16” model?

I like it but 6 months later and the 14 inch version is still not available.

This looks great at all, but YU, could you please make a two or three month follow up video on this? And make it a point to actually use it in your full workflow? I just want to know if the screens hold up overtime.

Hey Rich, the 16" version that is made out of plastic has held up great, and many viewers who bought it have great comments about it. This one is upgraded in every way and I have no doubts it will hold up. Now I can take a 14' with me instead of a 16".

For any kind of productivity, you NEED multiple screens. This seems an excellent solution.

How about a full Max Tech review? What is the impact on battery life? What is the weight? Are there any performance issues with displays attached? Gaming using the higher refresh rate etc.

I don't have the specs on weight and I don't have a scale here (but that makes me think I should buy one) The price wasn't set in stone when we were working on this, but I knew it would be similar to the 16" version but with a lot of improvements. Many people bought the previous version and loved it, some who already had cheaper versions that sucked in many ways. As far as battery life, I haven't had it long enough to be able to test that before the Apple event, but the previous ones only drew 5W each which I was really surprised about, and this version is using similar tech but smaller display size. That would mean it would take roughly 25% of your battery which is not bad at all, but of course you also have a charging port. Even a cheap $20 small powerbank will offset this power usage. If you're looking for an external portable display setup that matches the Macs perfectly this is really the only option on the market.

I ordered this in October 2023. Last update from Mondüo was in April. It is almost July now, and they haven't sent it, yet. But the shop still accepts orders without warning buyers that the delivery might take more than 6 months. Did anyone receive their 14" version?

I would buy a single display version for mac mini.

I used to think a 14 inch screen was too small but having this would help me save. Wont need to shift to a 16 inch laptop. Looks premium too compared to a plastic one 😊

@MaxTechOfficial

Yea! And the price tag is similar for a much-improved product. Now I can take a 14" without needing a 16" and in small spaces like an airplane a 14" is so much easier to use. With the 16" if the person in front of me reclines I have to fold the screen down so much its hard to see.

Wow this is a cool accessory! I might have to get one if they make one for a 16” MBP… do you know if they do?

Why the need for two cables? Doesn't thunderbolt support daisy chained displays?

Very nice, I expect to see the same quality for next version 16". Plastic looks cheap :)

I believe they can make it even thiner

Great. Won’t work for MacBook airs. For that I’d recommend the Wacom one 13 pen display.

I'll stick with my iPad Pro 12.9 with sidecar. Yes it is only one screen, but it is better than the ones offered, plus in addition to being a screen it is a full one very powerful and standalone design on its own.

Will it work on an Macbook air?

Can you calibrate the 3 screens simultaneously?….

What is the price for this product

I’ve been waiting for mine since last year…

Holding out for a refreshed version of the 16” with MiniLED displays. Even better would be a paper thin glossy OLED version with 4k Dolby Vision. A guy can dream…

Hi, could you use one screen on the macbook and the other screen plug it to a windows laptop (for example) and both screens will be working but just one is rendering for a macbook & the other screen is rendering for a windows laptop?

I have a Surface Laptop Studio and both my thunderbolts are on only one side of the computer. Does it come with a cable long enough to go from one side to the other?

Anyone know if they plan to update the 16 inch to be metal and not plastic? Or are they trying to keep it lighter?

@maxtechofficial I can’t download software when using this for my work laptop. Without that download, does this monduo still work as expected?

Hey Max, would the Monduo 16 inch model work with 14 inch laptops? I want a bigger screen as 14 is little small for work stuffs. Please share your views.

For working on lightroom or any other color intensive editing, are the monitors color calibrated exactly the same as the Macbook? Or only sort of close?

@MaxTechOfficial

9 ай бұрын

They are calibrated but you also have adjustments if needed. If you're really serious about color work you should be calibrating your MacBook monitor as well with a hardware calibrator even if you don't have external displays, and adjusting the calibration once a month. I own about 10 Macbooks and even new out of the box there are some color differences, and as you're using them the colors do chance which is why pro's will re-calibrate on a regular basis. For less critical work like social media you don't have to do that, since everyone who is viewing your media will have different displays anyway.

I am not sure if the weight will ruin the MBP's screen hinge even with that flip-out stand.

@daniel_960_

You can estimate 10w per screen at full brightness. So additional 20w. Should half your battery life. 14 MacBook having 70wh battery. So for extended use you would wanna have a plug near you.

@MaxTechOfficial

9 ай бұрын

It runs off of the USB-C connections that also sends the video signal. When I tested the 16" it was just 5W per display at full brightness, and this uses the same tech/brightness but in a smaller screen so it likely uses less. So maybe around 20% of your battery life will go to two additional displays. It also has a usb-c power input so even a $20 small power bank will offset the power usage but for most people you're just fine without it, or plug it into wall power to charge your macbook and run the screens.
