Framework 3:2 Portable Monitor

As the topic suggests, it would be nice for Framework to use their OEM supplier to make a portable version of the screen as a stand-alone secondary monitor with front facing speakers that would use USB-C, HDMI and DP inputs. This would embrace RtR and increase their product line incrementally with already existing parts.

Similar to this Dell but with 2 swappable ports and possibly a built in media player to plug an SSD in and watch content without an OS.

I’m sure one could 3d print an enclosure with VESA mounting holes, or a kind of kickstand. Power and input conversion would need figuring out though.

neat idea. might be even cooler if it could be interchangeable with the laptops built in display. you could accept it being a bit thicker, but you get extra expansion slots, front speakers, etc.

I was just about to open a new thread with this very same idea, and noticed it already existed at the last moment :rofl:. I also think this would be very cool, and as the OP said, it would for the most part use existing parts, so presumably, it wouldn’t be too hard for them to make.
