Product Description
Combining fun and functionality, the Cary Works Viewedge Display is the ultra-small screen you didn’t know you wanted. Built to look like a tiny version of the original ‘80s Macintosh, the Viewedge measures just 9-by-10-centimeters Read More
Can get this off ali express for 100 bucks.. wish they would redesign and include the keyboard all in one like a Divoom Ditoo Plus.. then I might consider this
What a strange product. I understand the price because of the materials and oled screen but its just so impractical. Cant think of projecting anything other than your PC's thermal stats, time, weather or some gif but at $285? So odd but I guess people with money will buy anything.
BeisenhergSimilar thoughts about Nanoleaves, Apple iMac stand/wheels, limited exclusive/raffled artisan keycaps. Do they make your setup any better than cheaper alternative or options? Probably not.
We (vendor and I) didn't plan and launch this product with the mindset of selling well - in fact we anticipated discussion about it being overpriced, but there are still people out there who are curious and have the wallet to afford something quirky like this.
SpencerLProps to you for making something like this because like you said you dont anticipate to sell many. People who want and can afford it will buy it.
Seems niche, like something you[I] would regret buying a year later. At this price point it costs about half of a top of the line 1080p monitor, or even some good high refresh rate 2k monitors. When I look at this, the neatness factor doesn't come close to half the practical value you get out of a full size monitor
TheWolfI'm not going to talk badly about people who buy this product, because to different people money may be more or less of an obstacle, just like 'neatness' or 'niche-ness' is also very subjective. I praise the diversity of design and do think it is a cool product. I simply look back on myself when entering the keyboard hobby and know how many times I saw products that seemed amazing at the time, which I now regret spending so much money on.
How do I reconfigure this? VIA does nothing. It is stuck at F1-F11 as the hotkeys.
There were 0 instructions inside of the box. And there is 0 documentation anywhere.
CoreParadoxThere are programs and settings you can use to combat this, for example if you wanted to use the screen for retro gaming but then have it just show the time in a static position in the middle of the screen their are programs that swap out the pixels up, down, left, right....but it's damn near invisible to the human eye so it doesn't look like it's having a seizure on screen but it basically changes out what pixels on an OLED screen that are being used so you're less likely to have a burn in image of a digital clock as it alternates the pixels being used in all 4 directions. (Also i have no idea if this display would have anything like a built in OSD menu (similar to what like a nice LG OLED TV would have) where you can reset your OLED to factory settings or if you can manually do that same feature with a PC program.
You might be able to find more information on this at KBDFANS or kono.com as it was on a group buy from both of those sites originally 2 weeks ago. (KBDFANS being the main one, but kono website had more pictures and info provided from the manufacturer of these.
(The group buys are finished on both of those sites I mentioned above, but they still have the information and pics/videos from the manufacturer that should be helpful)
Are there other products that compare to this? I see a lot of people complaining about price, how niche it is, etc. but how about another product that feels, looks and fits a desk space like the one above? Maybe I haven't delved deep enough, but to me, this type of art-meets-minimal-function is worth it... UNLESS something else rivals it without the leg work. JMHO
nugfeverNothing like this exists, at least not exactly. There are other macro pads and someone has already linked the same mini-monitor with a plastic housing for less, but imo the value-add for this product is the design aesthetic and cohesiveness. Hook it all up to a pi zero w and run Doom on it and blow people's minds.
That said, people are reacting because of the price. for $460 you could get a very respectable monitor _and_ a full-sized mechanical keyboard. I'm a bit tired of people using machined aluminum housings as an easy way to add margin, especially because it blows things out of my price range. Judging by the mechanical keyboard landscape though, I'm in the minority on that.
