Design and Features
The Mobile Pixel Geminos doesn’t look like your regular monitor and stand combination, although it still appears sleek and sophisticated. It has matte black aluminum parts that give it a nice heft and feeling of stability. The stand may not be as deep as most, but it’s quite sturdy and reliable, so the screen won’t wobble or sag just like that.
It’s obviously larger than most monitors, but it’s shallower when it’s straightened out. The device only needs 4.33 inches of depth from your desk, but leave some room in front of it since the lower display will extend toward you when you angle it down. The whole unit weighs in at 20 pounds, so it is quite hefty and not portable at all.
The monitor’s build quality is fantastic thanks to its use of aluminum for the chassis instead of cheap plastic. The stand is also stable and firm, plus the mechanisms to adjust the screens are smooth and solid. We didn’t see any cosmetic defects as well, which means that the manufacturing process was not rushed or flawed.
The Mobile Pixel Geminos uses a touch surface instead of buttons or a joystick for its OSD. There are three keys for each screen, but the whole layout is on the bottom bezel of the lower display. However, it’s annoying to use since it’s not as responsive, and the layout’s fluidity could use some improvements.
The included stand has a sliding mechanism for the two monitors, so it can only offer modest height and tilt adjustments. This lets you lower the bottom screen into an almost horizontal position, giving you a laptop-shaped dual display. It may seem gimmicky, but this is invaluable for business or design setups.
The monitor also has a decently-equipped connectivity layout to make it more flexible. You get two HDMI ports and two USB-C slots with 65 Watts PD, two USB ports, an RJ45 LAN port, a 3.5mm jack, and a TF/SD card reader. It also has a built-in webcam and microphone, but you have to use USB-C instead of HDMI to get them to work.
It also has a pair of basic speakers to complete its posture as an all-in-one docking display for your workstation. They are incapable of entertainment-grade sound, but it is always nice to have added features. You can already use the monitor for conferencing because of its add-ons, but we still recommend headsets for better clarity.
Display and Performance
The Mobile Pixel Geminos sports dual 24-inch IPS panels with 1920 x resolutions, 60Hz refresh rates, and undisclosed pixel response times. The backlights have 250 cd/m2 outputs while the contrast for both is listed at 1000:1. It is interesting to note that only the bottom screen has touch capabilities, provided that you set it as your primary display.
24-inch FHD monitors are great for all-around use since they are very easy to run for most systems. It’s easy to read and type on them, and games and movies will run without any fuss. It is not going to be as sharp or expansive as a 1440p or 4K option, but you are getting two 1080p screens with this model.
The Mobile Pixel Geminos panels covered 100% sRGB and 77% DCI-P3 for decent vibrancy in all types of uses. The default accuracy for the top had a dE average of 2.32 and 2.41 for the bottom. It is not prosumer-grade, but it isn’t marketed for that type of use anyway.
Calibrating them reduced the dE average to 1.87 and 1.96 respectively, resulting in more balanced and natural outputs. However, the improvements are not worthy of getting a colorimeter, so we’d skip spending more on one. This eliminates editing for the monitor, but it’s still an excellent choice for productivity or casual gaming.
The brightness for the two also differed slightly, with the top registering a 247 cd/m2 max output and the bottom putting out 238 cd/m2 at 100%. Their contrasts were at 889:1 and 877:1, respectively, indicating that neither is capable of deep blacks. This is fine for most uses, but movies and games with darker scenes will not look so good.
Panel uniformity for the two panels was great overall since there wasn’t a whole lot of backlight bleeding. There are some noticeable variances, but they only become truly noticeable in dark scenes. Note that this can vary with every unit made due to tolerances, so there are better and worse ones out there.
The Mobile Pixel Geminos isn’t very fast when it comes to pixel response time, so we don’t see it being used for games like Warzone or CSGO. Blurring and persistence can be seen in fast and contrasting transitions, and unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do about it. However, it’s great as an add-on to a full professional streaming setup, not because of the novelty but due to the unique functionality it brings to the table.
The Mobile Pixel Geminos doesn’t have Adaptive Sync, but that’s understandable since it is not primarily designed for gaming. It is easy to run games on the screens anyway since they only have 1080p resolutions. Input lag sits at a 10ms average for the two, so it’s still snappy and responsive for most uses.
Thoughts on the Mobile Pixel Geminos
The Mobile Pixel Geminos is a fantastic concept that turns a novelty design into something that’s valuable and functional. The dual display with decent color accuracy is great for most uses, even if they are not specially tuned for specific uses. Its touchscreen, connectivity, and unique form factor make it a fantastic display for productivity or as a support screen for a complex setup.
The main antagonist for this model is its hefty price, which is relatively high considering that you can build something similar for less money. 1080p office monitors are cheap, and there are dual-stack VESA mounts under the $50 range. However, the premium price you pay gets you a svelte and sophisticated machine that gives you more customization and the envy of your coworkers.
Pros:
- Excellent and Unique Design
- Decent Image Quality
- Plenty of Connectivity with USB-C
Cons:
- Low Contrast
- Expensive
