Doomscroll forever with ultra-tall 5:16 portable monitor
In the world of displays, no one size or shape fits all. Over the past few years, we've seen more laptop screens play with aspect ratios that provide more vertical height than more traditional 16:9 screens. But when it comes to everlasting newsfeeds, endless social media feeds, and those captivatingly long articles, something like the 5:16 Thanko TL Portrait Display really stands tall.
Released today and spotted by Tom's Hardware via Japanese site PC Watch, the monitor from Thanko, a gadget brand owned by Sanko, is a 0.7 lb (334 g) portable display. The 7.9-inch screen has 400*1280 resolution, for a high pixel density of 169.75 pixels per inch.
