[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. The reason for 4 stars is the setup. So many stickers to remove,including from the touch screen and camera. Also highly recommend including some sort of ergonomic information for how to have monitor to not hurt your neck. Would love to be able to move monitor up and down without changing the angle of the bottom screen. I also received my monitor with paint chipping from the top monitor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I the screens are great and clear and work well as screens. I am having a lot of inconsistency and difficulty getting screens to drive purely from the single USB-C and touch screen features are not working well at all. I am using an older MacBook pro (from 2018) so that might be the problem. I also didn't realize I couldn't use two screens with my MacBook air which is the original reason I bought it, but that's on me since it is a limitation of the Air I didn't know.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my new Geminos setup for a week. I absolutely love the setup. There is so much additional space on my desk after switching from two side by side monitors.
When Linus Tech gave a not-so-good review about this product, I was hesitant buying it but when Linus got exposed as a sham tech reviewer, I revisited this product and took my shot. Best decision ever. It just simply works, it's very responsive, sleek and extremely versatile. It's also a babe magnet - I took it to a public library and people were just blown away to see such a cool product.
I am still amazed at the concept of taking 2 24inch around while being extremely productive.!
Is awesome the way to both screens works and even the way to save space on your desk the only issues that I found is that the network port from the docking station is working to 100M (fast) not a 1000M or 1GB (Gigabit).
I got Geminos X with touchscreen + few accessories. I have to admit that monitor(s) looks solid build, nice metal body that is not twisting. The quality of the picture is really good. There also some deficiencies. The transport stickers were like glued and I had hard time unsticking tthem from the monitor. My desk is not having sufficient depth and I have to admit when I've purchased the monitor I didn't really realized that it's take more depth than my standard monitor. Then I often needed to rotate my monitor a bit to left or right to have better visibility when I'm not staying in exactly front of the monitor, but doing some other stuff on the side. This was really bad surprise for me, that the monitor base was fixed. And the monitor dues to its heaviness is difficult to grab it with one hand on the side and just turn it. Camera was another thing that I think is not thought well through. If two monitors are straight then camera is really high and these 15 degree angle is not at all sufficient. Also the privacy cover that was accompanying the monitor was definitely a joke. It was a bit too small and I struggled to stick it in such way that it doesn't obstruct camera view when open. The camera itself is a bit larger than typical laptop camera and the cover was a generic one, not designed specially for this monitor. And last thing that is a bit annoying, whenever I switch on the video signal, for few seconds I get this information about the resolution, refresh rate and frequency of the signal and then it disappears. On most normal monitors you can check this info from the monitor menu. Alas nothing like that here. One of the funny parts that made me laugh was one of the arguments to chose the monitor. Somewhere on their site it was stated that it's better to have the monitors stacked vertically as this is gives you better usability and programming was mentioned as use case. Argument was that you don't need to scroll vertically so much. Actually if you have long vertical monitor this is not really useful as your eyes and neck strain more of the up and down movement. In general head/neck/eyes behave better with moning horizontally than vertically. And most of the time the focus is on some central position. So better scroll and keep the focal point at approximately at the same level, that going up and down all the time.
I got my Geminos™ X screens over the weekend and had some issues with the driver install and touchscreen calibration, which turned out to be my (Lenovo) laptop issue. I was helped with the correct procedures and steps by a very helpful Mattias from Customer Care Center.
I am absolutely pleased with this product and how it has increased my productivity by a mile! Love it!
