Comment on New Philips Monitor Features an E-Paper Side Panelparent

I see, thanks!

I mean, what need is it supposed to fulfil having a second mini-monitor latched onto your main monitor.

I'll be honest, I have been thinking about setting something pike this up.

I use macos for work and tiling window managers on Linux for personal stuff. It's probably a personal perception thing, but to me it seems that Mac is constantly running out of monitor space with its ui.

I switch tasks _a lot_ and the three monitors are just not enough, so I considered setting up a small sidecar monitor exclusively for a todo manager.

...but now that I typed it out I think it's going to be like a freeway problem - traffic isn't solved by getting more lanes; gotta have fewer cars.

I have a 32" monitor, 3840 x 2160 and if you don't allow the OS to scale everything by 150%, you have an awful lot of room.

I actually wish I'd bought same res but at 34" or 36".

My main screen is an ultrawide 38. I actually got around to tinker with Amethyst today to better utilize the space. It's a little bit janky but still works for me much better than the default macOS window manager thing.
