The innovative JSAUX FlipGo portable dual monitor has made a dramatic entrance on Kickstarter, quickly surpassing the $100,000 funding goal on its initial day. This marks a significant achievement for the tech product, signalling strong consumer interest and market potential.
The FlipGo features two 180° hinge-connected IPS screens, uniform in providing 60Hz refresh rates and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Every model, irrespective of size or touch capability, offers a full 100% coverage of the sRGB color gamut. Potential buyers have the choice between a 2.2K display with peak brightness of 400 nits and a contrast ratio of 1500:1 and a 2.5K display capable of up to 500 nits brightness and an 1200:1 contrast ratio. At present, there are 13.5-inch and 16-inch models on offer.
This dual-monitor setup is designed for portability and convenience, not exceeding 1.8 centimeters in thickness and weighing approximately 1.6 kilograms. For connectivity, the FlipGo incorporates USB ports, although HDMI support is not available.
Adding to the product lineup, the company has introduced a Pro Edition for the 13.5-inch model. The Standard Edition starts with a super early bird price of $329, exclusively supporting the monitor’s DuoViews mode. Next, a version with touchscreen capability on one panel is priced from $379. The 13.5″ Pro Edition enhances the Standard Edition features by including an UltraView mode, enabling users to span a single application or file across both screens, starting at $429. The larger 16-inch Pro Edition begins at $549, with a Standard Edition including a Touch Screen available at an early-bird price of $479.
A notable claim from JSAUX is the product’s status as the world’s first “magnetic” dual-screen foldable monitor. This unique feature allows for the rear panel to connect a variety of custom accessories, such as a Flex Folio leather case/stand, a metallic Snap Stand, or a Snap VESA adapter, for enhanced support and protection. However, it’s worth mentioning that these accessories are not included with the purchase nor currently available to order.
The overwhelming response to the Kickstarter campaign, with contributions exceeding $120,000, indicates a strong likelihood of the product’s continued success and the subsequent availability of the planned custom accessories.
For those interested in accessorizing their gaming setups, an JSAUX RGB Docking Station compatible with the Steam Deck and other handheld consoles may be a worthwhile addition, available on Amazon.
The success of the FlipGo on Kickstarter reflects consumer enthusiasm for innovative and practical tech solutions in the dual monitor market. The product’s rapid crowdfunding achievement showcases the trend towards more adaptable and portable devices that cater to the evolving needs of modern professionals and tech enthusiasts.
