Mutli screen for laptop

200 points posted to Monitors and Displays, Laptops by alle 06/15/07

Now a days every one wants more screen space, to view all at once, right now we can do this by using the option "Exten my Windows desktop onto this monitor", but it cost more to have more monitor and its fixed we cannot move with Laptop/notebook, wonderign if we can build multiple monitors attached with Left and Right pannel flip models.

__________

| L | C | R |

| L | C | R |

__________

L -- Left screen which is a flip model to close

R - Right screen which is a flip model to close

C - Center screen attached to Laptop

Left and Right screen will overlay on Center screen when closed.

And the main hinge... let alone the hinges for the L/R screens.

The best way to get more screen real estate is to turn up your resolution and font/icon DPI settings (if you can't read things at 1900x1600), after you buy a 17" notebook ;-)

Dual screen notebooks

Produce dual screen notebooks for specialized industries and gamers. It can be done, because it has been done.

Does it actually fold up? How?

The pictured one I am not sure how (if) it folds, but I saw one with three screens: 2 detached from either side of the center one; and the center one folds down as normal; the other two screens stack onto the back. It was designed as a mobile workstation for scientists, not a laptop with a lot of portability and was packed in a hard case, so keep that in mind when voting.

Here's the thing: how about an ultra-widescreen laptop with *logical* dual screen support instead? None of this folding stuff; just widen the base to match, and put in a full sized keyboard.
