The DUEX Float borrows a clever trick from Christopher Nolan with its external monitor’s vertical arrangement. Panoramic screens are great but they require you to turn your head from side to side to see content. Vertically oriented displays, like the DUEX Float, give you an immersive dual-screen experience without requiring you to look from side to side. This vertical expansion is also a feature Nolan used in Oppenheimer by opting for the IMAX format, which is more “squarish” than panoramic. The IMAX format uses this to fill your vertical peripheral vision too, immersing you in movies without having your neck go wild as you look from side to side.

Made by the folks at Mobile Pixels (who’ve carved quite a reputation for themselves in the external monitor category), the DUEX Float opts for a vertical layout rather than the company’s previous displays that open out horizontally. The reason, strangely enough, is that a vertical display is just much more convenient if you look at things. Sure, it causes less eye and neck strain for starters… but it also doesn’t require a wide workspace, fitting easily in even small desks without eating into your table space. The DUEX Float’s slim design attaches right to the back of your laptop using 4 magnets, opening up in seconds thanks to its clever dual-hinge system. A single cable connects the DUEX Float to your laptop, powering it as well as working as a display cable for transmitting visual data. And if that wasn’t enough, the DUEX Float’s 1080p display is touch-sensitive too, making it perfect for prototyping/testing apps, for presentations, or for using as a tablet PC in visual design applications.

The DUEX Float isn’t a one-display-one-trick-pony either. It comes with a 3-in-1 design that can be oriented in multiple ways to serve different uses. The most obvious is the vertical external display for double the productivity, but face the display away from you and mirror your screen and you’ve got the perfect presentation setup for meetings and client pitches. The entire display unit detaches off the back of your laptop and can be propped up on a kickstand and used as a side-by-side iPad-style monitor too. These three use-cases make the DUEX Float a pretty versatile accessory. Couple that with how slim it is and you’re left with a gadget that’s more useful and more portable than any external monitor on the market.
