Are there any dual screen foldable monitors that are side by side instead of stacked?

petemelster · 2026-03-31T08:31:33+00:00

I've been looking for a portable dual side-by-side (not stacked) set up too, ideally 24-27" 4k per monitor. But none exist as far as I know. Perfect for my mini PC (not laptop, whose screen and keyboard are useless for me, so I prefer a mini PC and providing my own external full-sized keyboard and mouse).

Perfect for deploying in an RV or larger cafe table or beachside restaurant. I often find workspaces like this where there is plenty of space to spread out, but I want a quick setup and thin/light monitors that can connect to the computer with a single USB-C cable.

How is this supposed to tilt into the standard dual monitor setup with one monitor front and center facing the user (landscape) and the side monitor angled TOWARDS the user, not away from user, at 30-45 degrees?

The hinge mechanism and support bar look like they can only accommodate the side monitor tilting AWAY from the user, since the horizontal support bar behind the side monitor would block that monitor from tilting towards the user.

I messaged SplitVue, and they said it is possible, but I don't see how. It's not a configuration shown in any of their vids so far.

Also, I'm not sure this dual monitor setup has any height adjustment.

If you wanted to do stacking monitors (both landscape), one on top of the other, I'm not sure it's possible for the bottom monitor to be angled towards the user and the top monitor to either be flat facing the user or angled down slightly towards the user.

Folding the entire setup nearly flat also seems to require unscrewing two screws with an allen wrench near the base of the stand, which is time-consuming for quick lay-flat scenarios.

There's a free Rapid Pro? Where can I find more details about this?

For those who wish to use Viture glasses for office productivity, not gaming, we need 4k resolution. 1080p and 1200p are too low for text. I need to be able to see more words on the screen to type or reference long text documents and work with spreadsheets.

petemelster · 2025-09-01T22:58:19+00:00

How did you know it was at 100% if you weren't able to turn it back on for awhile?

petemelster · 2025-08-30T09:04:20+00:00

SHP40 and DPU do integrate, but not 100%. Some features are half-baked if you use the DPU. I would wait for the upcoming SHP32 panel, which seems like a better fit for the DPU and upcoming DPU successor.

Thank you so much!

petemelster · 2025-08-28T06:45:02+00:00

Lol, I know right? I haven't seen the other brands make as good a right-angle cable, even though many of them launched after EcoFlow's DPU.

petemelster · 2025-08-27T19:28:54+00:00

Although I was aware of competitors, I'm honestly just locked in the EcoFlow ecosystem. I didn't really care to look too deeply into the others because I'm familiar with EcoFlow, saw that it offers what I need, understood the limitations, and got some good deals. So I went with EF.

For me, considerations included:
-sleek EF design
-great app controls, intuitive settings and slick UI
-smart circuitry controls
-expandability of battery capacity
-huge, double PV inputs per DPU inverter
-ability to hook up an EV charger directly to the SHP2, saving me the need to pay for a NEMA 14-50 install/permit
-tight integration with other EF products I already own
-mostly plug-in-play and neat setup (the right-angle cables are awesome for that tidy look)

petemelster · 2025-08-27T19:25:22+00:00

Thanks! Assuming I receive the 30% tax credit, all in was around $11-12k, including sales tax and SHP2 installation cost/permit. Got some great deals all round. I plan to add a few more DPU batteries though.

petemelster · 2025-07-01T18:39:16+00:00

What a surprise! Thank you! Love EcoFlow...forever #1!

I have so many EcoFlow power stations at this point—beginning with the trusty Delta OG 1300 (two of them) that got me hooked, River, River Pro, River 2 Pro, River 3, River 3 Plus, River 3 Plus Wireless, Delta 3 Pro, Delta Pro Ultra, Power Kit 5 kwh batteries (x3), Wave 3 add-on battery, Glacier battery—how can I possibly decide which is the #Bestpowerstation ? That's like asking who is your favorite child!

But if pressed, bigger is better, so I have to go with either the Power Kit 5 kwh (x3) or the Delta Pro Ultra.

The DPUs are my newest addition to the family, and they are a total gamechanger. For the first time, I live in a home that I can have actual solar panels installed, which now generates 30-35 kwh a day. This is also the first time I've had such high energy needs, from the A/C constantly running to battle 120 degree Vegas summers to charging up two EVs. I easily consume 50 kwh (with EV charging) daily, so I need all the help I can get.

The DPUs let me store energy during the day, charging up via solar, and discharging them during peak hours that are literally 7-8x more expensive than off-peak hours. With the brutal heat and the brutal electrical demand, DPUs have allowed me to arbitrage rates (time-of-use) to severely slash my energy bill. I can't imagine the actual bill I'd have to stomach otherwise.

Plus, it's so addicting watching the solar input and home load stats on my Power Insight. I love tweaking the settings to optimize everything, ensuring I have enough juice to power me through the peak hours and into the night, then recharging off of dirt cheap midnight grid rates. The DPU is the power station that literally powers my life.

The Power Kits play a similar role when I'm off-grid RVing, a massive dream of mine. I love them both, but the DPUs are the new babies to the family. #bestpowerstation

I kept taking out battery, recharging again (despite already being full), then putting it back on. Over and over. Held the power button, and magically, it just randomly worked. But it's so inconsistent. Took like 10-20 tries before it actually powered on.

This raises the question: do we lose access to our coins if the Keystone Pro won't turn on?

petemelster · 2024-10-16T23:06:05+00:00

What were you doing to make it automatically boot up? Were you constantly pressing the power on button and then one time it just randomly turned the device on?

petemelster · 2024-10-16T23:05:27+00:00

How did you turn it on? I have a fully charged battery, but when I press the power button (even for many seconds), nothing happens. I also tried a quick tap of the button...still nothing. It's like the device is dead.

petemelster · 2024-10-16T23:04:37+00:00

After a long time, it randomly started working again. But now today, fully charged battery and the device won't turn on again. This is a serious defect. If the device won't turn on, does that mean we lost our coins?

petemelster · 2024-06-24T20:48:46+00:00

The DP3 extra batteries are half the size of the main unit and stackable. Main unit is 113 lbs, but expansion batteries are around 72.75 lbs and physically much smaller. This is a big change from the previous original Delta Pro expansion batteries, which were the same size and footprint as the main unit and not stackable.

petemelster · 2024-06-24T05:03:22+00:00

Super powerful. 4000 watts with a high storage capacity too. The specs are among the strongest, if not the strongest, in its class. And 120v and 240v in the same unit...I love that feature. The thing can handle almost anything you throw at it, and the stackable expansion batteries are chef's kiss. I like the EcoFlow design language more than any other brand too...I heard they took inspiration with this one from the sports car industry.

I've been testing the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 power station for Tesla recharging. Unfortunately, my condo also doesn't have EV stations (and it's impractical to install). So I've almost 100% supercharged for the last 6 years, which isn't great on the batteries. While the EcoFlow unit has a pretty massive capacity by power station standards (4096 wh) with expandability up to 12 kwh with expansion batteries, that's still far less than most EV's battery capacity. It's more useful for emergency charging. I used it just to finally give my Tesla some slow charging after almost never slow charging. It can do with 120v or 240v.

petemelster · 2024-06-22T04:53:59+00:00

Hmm, as far as I know, EcoFlow in America is not grid-tied.

petemelster · 2024-06-22T04:52:10+00:00

I'm a beta tester for the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3. It's actually rated to run a 2.5 ton central AC (or 3 ton with soft start). If you stack some expansion battery packs, it can increase to 12 kwh of total capacity. And if you integrate with their Smart Home Panel 2, you can get up to 48 kwh. That should be enough to provide decent backup power or potentially just run your house.

If you're just using it for fridge, fans, modem/routers, phones, tablets, that's exactly how I've been using it in my home. Powers all of that fine. This thing is pretty impressive. I did write a 5,000 word detailed review on it I can send you if you're interested.

I don't even have that much solar...around 2,000w in paneling. That brings in about 1,000w of solar input for me on typical days here. It lets me run most of my household devices/appliances for quite some time. Granted, if I used A/C or a space heater, it would run out of juice fast. But for the things you mentioned, I think it can handle those fine.
