The only drawbacks I've found are that a) it's limited to 60hz, b) sitting right up to a 43" monitor ruins gaming because the image becomes way too diffuse and also too hard to track with everything happening all at once. I'm using a repurposed 2017 Sony X700D 4K TV (which very importantly supports chroma 4:4:4, and supports HDR10, even if the Garuda KDE Dr460nized Gaming Edition (Linux) I'm running on the computer doesn't support the latter (yet). Just one computer to buy and maintain.Īctually, I'm familiar with doing That's the setup I have down in the basement studio where I podcast. Workstations consist of just monitor/dock/wireless keyboard/mouse. Work mobile centric webapp, VOIP clients. Potential Use Case: Work provided smartphone with mobile desktop no work or home PC required. Video and sound up, charging and mouse/keyboard down via monitor USB hub. But goodness, it has been far too hard to get to this point and it’s unsurprising that Mobile Desktop has never reached the mainstream despite its potential. However, using the product’s web interfaces on Samsung’s browser or Edge on DeX seems the breakthrough combination. Gmail & Google Sheets was particularly lacking through Chrome or their apps so Google has some way to go. The desktop setting in Google’s products seemed to have limited effect on either platform. Mobile Desktop generally: I was expecting more of a Chromebook experience, especially with Google products, so a bit disappointing. Using with a Skull & Co Jumpgate would have made a better comparison. Otherwise, everything seems pretty similar. Samsung’s own browser does the best job of handling state, but does seem to resubmit a POST automatically which could be dangerous. “Ready For” does it differently and has an icon in the taskbar for a mirror of the G100 (see image) that you can quickly open and close as required and with the real estate of QHD and the consistency of mouse movements was a bit easier to live with. With a Galaxy Tab it would be a significantly useful second screen. Allowing the mouse to use the S10 as a second monitor was nice. Obviously, it only managed FHD via Motorola’s dock. The webcam (eg using the camera on the back) and face tracking option looks interesting too.ĭeX: OMG… That “Use genuine Samsung DeX accessories” nag is unnecessarily irritating, especially when the docks don’t seem to exist anymore. I found no limit to the number of separate app windows. But has a setup screen where you can decide which apps to continue or restart to default is to restart everything). “Ready For” seems to maintain state when connecting and disconnecting from the dock, but does redraw all tabs in a browser getting the “Confirm Form Resubmission” message if that tab is generated from a POST. Only a single window (as opposed to tabs) available on browsers - would have been handy on QHD. Included dock has an inbuilt fan which, as far as I could tell, never came on. I also connected a 4k Samsung M7 (USB-C) Monitor, and watched 4k Youtube videos with no issues (take note Samsung!). Undoubtedly helped by QHD out of the box. Surprisingly, it feels like the more refined product more stable, intuitive and a nicer UI. “Ready For”: Name is a marketing disaster (try Googling it!).
