You would need to use this display daily for many years to recoup that overhead in power consumption.
Given that we have the finished product to review, this isnt how these schemes were meant to work.
But of the 30 offered, at the time of writing, 24 have been taken.
Once those are allocated, the price jumps to the Indiegogo special, increasing to 870 and $1090.
For those curious, the intended retail cost is $1200.
Think briefly about the size and specification of a conventional monitor you could have with that budget.
It was designed to be powered directly from the host gear using USB-C or a phone charger.
This thicker area also provides some extra depth for two (why two?)
VESA holes with a 75mm separation.
In addition to our review hardware, there were two monitor stands, and neither of these was wonderful.
An integrated flip stand would have been ideal, but that never made it into the Radiant.
Flip the switch one way, and you get the brightness controls; the other way, the volume.
There are no other options.
The temptation is to bring up the blinds and let the light in, but thats a double-edged sword.
This might work better with an anti-reflection coating.
That last feature is critical because some will be fine with a darker screen and colours.
A 1080p portable monitor can be found for much less than the launch offer.
It may be just a few moments, or a few hours.
