Staring at a 6" display is not a good time.

There are controller cradles for tablets as well. The best display I have is the 10" 1600p 120Hz display of my tablet.

You can connect the phone via USB-C to any hdmi display.

I use it often to stream games from my PC to a different room

6" is huge my computer monitor was barely bigger 20 years ago

But i get your point but to save you money homey get you a old Samsung Oled Tablet probably way bigger screen too

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Right, because that will be ergonomic and is totally comparable to a brand new device...

It is if you get a tablet with a case that can prop it up and then use a wireless controller. You're being inflexible, there are options out there other than a portal. My Lenovo tablet was 99 pounds brand new and a case came with it to prop it.

I'm not "being inflexible", I'm pointing out that those are not comparable options.

I mean I could buy a Origin PC that has a PlayStation 5 built into it and strap it to my back and mount a TV to my waist as I walk around. That's totally the same thing, right?

You're right, they aren't comparable. If you get a tablet you can basically use it as a computer as well as for streaming games within your own house.

Don't worry, I get what you mean. They're really nit comparable. When you have to do a bunch of extra things to compete, you're not really competing.
