INSIGHT

Single-Cable Dual-Screen Engineering

  • Xebec's Tri-Screen 3 uses two 13.3" panels and a single-cable connection to simplify portable multi-monitor setups.
  • On Windows it uses MST while on Mac it embeds a DisplayLink chip in a Mac-specific cable to achieve single-cable use.
INSIGHT

Bigger Screens, Bigger Productivity

  • Moving from 10.1" to 13.3" displays increases usable area roughly 50%, improving productivity on the go.
  • Larger panels plus robust attachment make laptop multitasking much more practical than earlier portable designs.
ADVICE

Deploy Quickly With Embedded Cable

  • Keep the embedded cable and bracket design for quick deploy and minimal fuss when traveling.
  • Use the included travel case and fold-out screens to set up a portable workstation in seconds.
