[FEEDBACK] Framework 16 screen and Linux (why not 4K)

Hi,

While various alternative screens might be available on the market.
Has anyone worked out how to attach the screw hole part to an alternative screen ?
I think the screw holes / plate for the screw holes might be FW custom part.

There was a thread floating around here
where somebody was requesting To have the screen brackets be placed on the marketplace for sale. So that people could buy different screens online and try them in fw16.
If I remember correctly, the brackets get glued to the naked screen and then the brackets and screen are screwed to the top frame.

Here

Such a bummer they don’t have more options for 16" Display. I really want to make an external 16" portable monitor but would prefer 4K resolution for more DPI. Even the 13" 2K display has more pixel than the 16".

You can buy those in pretty much whatever resolution and panel type you want already.

Interesting, global shortcuts and video capture works for me. I do suspect that KVM software like Synergy would have issues as Wayland only uses libinput, and that’s quite a bit stricter in what’s allowed.

Oh, old post :person_facepalming:
But from about KDE 5.27 and definitely v6.0 it’s pretty functional.
