Super niche tech.
That's really sum up the video 😅
Great video TakiUdon.. but please mention the price of the device earlier on in the video, along with the name and manufacturer of the actual device.
This is the same niche that the Playstation Handheld is working in. Not sure if the PS Handheld allows you to connect to other devices like this, but it is $199, and not $350.
The name of this thing is stupid. It's longer than the title of this video.@@ctrl_x1770
@TakiUdon which is a better handheld, the ayn odin pro or the axbylute
You are correct about it's downfall - price. I was interested until I saw it was $350. I mean this is pretty much double what I'd be willing to drop for such limited use cases
It's insane, a G cloud is $350, this is just the G Cloud's screen, right? Fucking insanity lol
I didn't understand why you didn't mention the name of the device until I clicked the link. "PeakDo 7-Inch mm-Wave Handheld Gaming Console Screen" needs some branding help.
That's why. The name is stupid.
I'm not sure this device is justifiable for literally any market. Any streaming that isn't the Switch would be better done over Wifi with something like a $200-300 AYN Odin Pro/2, and who is going to pay $350 just to stream their Switch at 1080p with possible connection drops instead of on the Switch itself rock solid at 720p? I'm just confused why this exists other than as a tech demo for the screen beaming tech.
All they need to do is make the peakdo dongle support the sunshine/moonlight protocol. Connect to the user's wifi, and blast the stream on that to any client devices. No room level restriction anymore and a lot of devices can be clients. Suddenly the tech won't be as niche anymore. I'd buy at least 2.
you are thinking of an entirly different but better product
I'm watching this on a 55" 4K OLED which I use as a PC monitor, but I see what _almost_ what looks like interlacing. But its not there once you do a zoomed in shot. What is it I'm seeing?
Also, this is a nice improvement. I wouldn't have thought this would have gotten to a v2.
this is sick, i need this so i can play all my consoles in handheld mode
Extremely niche but extremely cool device. Thanks for making a video on it.
"finally, a worthy opponent"
- ps portal
Soooo... You made a WiiU?
Uh uh, not for 350$
Plus the cost of a controller.
I've got a question for you Taki. If I'm looking for something that can run the entire Gamecube library, fit in my pocket and have an easy set up, what's my best option on the market currently? Or are there any upcoming devices I should keep a lookout for?
How big are your pockets? The Odin 2 will fit the bill if you're not one to wear skinny jeans.
do I have to watch the whole thing to get the name of the product? I still don't know what this thing is.
does the device charge when connected to pc via usb-c ?
This in it's wired config is basically what I want for gaming at home. I even asked the team who make the nex-line of devices to do this, but so far no one has been interested.
Is this the same kind of signal the Playstation portal will be using
The main thing for me is I wish this had analogue triggers (maybe theres hope for the Switch 2 if the controller mounts are compatible), the wireless technology is a lot better than what the PS Portal uses and I could see myself using it as such a product. It's expensive but also unique and for niche products you always pay a premium.
you can probably use 3rd party joycons
You can use the Portal in any room of your house with wifi.
Sometimes I wonder if your home just has HDMI cables running everywhere like Ethernet cables so you always have a connection available for a device lol.
This is the sad truth
@@TakiUdon That could be an interesting video idea actually. I wonder if all these new gaming handhelds and displays that use HDMI work seamlessly with HDMI over Ethernet? If so it could really simplicate things when it comes to in wall cables.
I'm thinking of getting a budget handheld, so I'm trying 2 figure out which one would be between the ayn odin pro or the axbylute
The Axbylute has a very low end quad core Mediatek processor. It's perfect for streaming; but, emulation and native Android gaming is going to be lackluster. If you like the Axbylute's form factor then I'd encourage you to look into the Logitech G Cloud. Same big screen, same launcher, somewhat better ergonomics, and a ton more power for not a whole lot more money. Supposedly both were offshoots of an aborted Lenovo Legion Android handheld that Taki tested on this channel a while back.
The Odin Pro will have more power than either; but, a smaller screen. The base Odin 2, rocking an SD 8G2 processor, is an absolute steal at $300 and if you can stretch your budget, it's definitely the one to get vs. the OG Odin, Odin Lite, G Cloud, or Axbylute.
Combine this with one of the consolized modded OLED Switches and set it up to be permanently overclocked.
OLED is all about contrast and black levels... not a very good comparison in my opinion. I would choose a 720p OLED over a 1080p LCD every time.
Would this work with a PS3?
I tried to build something like this in the past, but after discovering android streaming with moonlight, I gave up the idea since it already works flawlessly without the distance limitation and with a direct controller connection to the android device
I did build something like this, I just use it as a very high pixel density monitor mounted to my keyboard now. I used an ipad 3 screen.
Oh I also used two LG G7 speakers, I used the aluminum frame part of the ipad for the base and 3d printed a little housing for the LCD controller and mounts for the switch controllers. It cost about $35 total lol.
@@horacegentleman3296how did you do it with an ipad 3?
@@enihi ripped the touchscreen off, gutted it, attached an lcd controller to it. From there you can add speakers, a usb touch screen, make it battery powered using the ipad battery or if you don't care about it being chunky 18650s. You do have to modify the ipad frame a little but you can use a dremel. All the rest is 3d printing and wire routing. Oh and if you want it to be wireless you just get a wireless HDMI dongle and plug it into the control board.
Or hopefully somebody sells a usb type-c dock with a controller and screen built-in. It would be a no brainer.
I mean, this is a good comparison and deep dive... but I had zero idea what this was about until two minutes into the video when you showed the name of the Peakdo on screen. Really weird scripting move.
The "not switch" seems to have some bad backlight bleed on the right hand side
I've been asking for something like this but mine is way simpler and cheaper to make. Just have a type-c power and send display port signal with controller functionality. Thats it. No battery, no wireless, no custom soc. Keep it light, and cheap for us PC owners. I hope the next iteration is in a clam shell design. As is the pricing is ridiculous. Might as well invest in a steamdeck or open box rog ally.
We are in the same boat
Could you share the details on what you used to make it and such? I am interested.
@@datadecks6439 I use a kamvas pen display but ideally they could make this all in one and more affordable. Technically all this is, is a gutted usb type-c dock with a built-in screen and controller which ties up some of those ports.
why would you not just use a switch this seems even more ridiculous than what Sony just did
It's not specifically for a switch...
I agree that for pairing it with a handheld system this makes no sense. It actually just seems very wasteful in terms of spending of money and energy usage just to get 1080p instead of 720p in case of the switch.
its use is more for fixed pcs and consoles.
My brother in christ, you literally see him using it with 5 different devices in the first 20 seconds
I guess it's a tad better than the Sony handheld in the sense that you can play non-exclusive games. The problem with the device is that it tries to aim for a very niche middle spot between "good screen" and "handheld".... and also "requiring external hardware".
If you wanted a good screen, it'd be better to just get a monitor, which have: a cheaper price, a higher quality screen, a higher brightness, larger screen size, etc.
It's not like you'll be leaving the room either, since this Peakdo handheld can only support a connection up to one room.
If you wanted a good handheld, there are infinitely better options out there. You can get an OLED Switch or a Steam Deck for literally the same price, and surprise, surprise, they can actually play games without requiring some additional console or computer. These devices also have the benefit of actually being portable.
I'll die on the hill that Nintendo had the best remote streaming with the Wii U. Didnt need to angle it in any way and used it in the bathroom in the next room. All with no visible lag
What's the deal with you refusing to say the name of the product you're reviewing?
This product doesn't have a name. It has a random assortment of words.
OMG this is exactly what I need (usb-c one cable to my pc in my bed).
too bad about the joycon connection via usb-c :/
Taki you are the best, you understand my need
I really wanna see the Ayaneo slide
So you can essentially play any digital ps5 games, Xbox games, pc games or switch games as well as emulate any old systems yet people don’t feel it’s worth $350? I don’t get it…then why are steam decks and others like the new Lenovo legion or asus rog products worth much more? Don’t be critical on me as I don’t know much on these…it just seems if it does all that sufficiently (unless I read wrong) then it should be well worth it. I get it doesn’t go 4K or whatever but that’s a rather small setback in the scheme of things
Would you believe me if I said Iv been looking for this device for years!! This is perfect
it's same price of an Odin 2 pro but without a CPU
I like this for the technology behind it, but I think a much better experience for someone looking to get the most out of their existing switch is modding and overclocking. I am playing through Red Dead Redemption in beautiful 60fps on the beautiful Switch OLED screen and I wouldn't have it any other way. 720p never bothered me on such a small screen.
Of course after i start working on my own solution for this .....
at the price of the cheapest steam deck this seems so niche id dare call it e-waste.
Agreed. It only makes sense to use for playing something from your console or PC on the couch but even for that it seems pretty wasteful ... you can use pretty much any actual handheld gaming device for this also (with tools like moonlight and so on), which in addition can be used stand alone for the dame or even down to half the price of this thing.
Your links are blocked by my blockers. They apparently made the list of things that aren't allowed by them. Might be some trackers on those sites. What is that shrsl site anyway?
This in combination with an used Xbox Series S looks like the most amazing scenario.
A lot of power to play AAA games in a handheld. But not on the go.
series s portable with dlss would be nice
Yeah no. With that money I'd rather buy a Steam Deck instead.
Mmwave wireless HDMI
Wait. This screen costs the EXACT same amount as a G Cloud now. Why??? Wtf lmao
Watching you etch a sketch on the screen made me cry laughing to the point that I couldn't finish the video. I typed this and shook my phone and went to sleep.
lol
So its just a screen with joycon, clever to illustrate the purpose 👌
Google needs to release a handheld before Apple beats them to it. I can see where this is headed
Others: game emulation
China: switch OLED emulation
I love the concept of the peakdo device, but at that price its DOA especially when you can buy a Steam Deck for less.
It's way too expensive
Think I prefer the white colour. Blue and red seems a bit too ... goofy.
I’d like this if it was cheaper so I can play some of my pc games in bed. Otherwise nah, I’d get a steam deck regardless of its chonk if it’s just for home use.
Why?????
I would have to say. 720p is superior than 1080p. You get so much better performance and you wont be able to see that much or a difference on a handheld
Over $300 for a slightly better screen?
Cool, cool. Never plan on buying it.
What is that then? A hecked switch?
Super niche product indeed. You and 2 other people on Earth want this lmfao 😂😂😂 Anyone that watched this just get an OLED Switch. I promise you that 720p on that screen is fine and you never have to worry about the angle you game at.
Nintendo Portal
Damn, didn't realise Peakdo were still in business 😞
Woeboshange 💀
A streaming handled device. I guess it time i close this video
thought this is a mod for V1/V2 switch to have a 7 inch display.
Until you showed the top of the device I had zero idea what was going on and just thought you were playing on a normal ass Switch lol.
Taki, your channel expresses my love for niche and interesting handheld gaming devices so perfectly. I never click on videos so consistently and watch the entire thing so consistently.
Straight banger content man, keep it up!
Edit:
I have had an idea for a while that this device would be the perfect fit for. Years ago I went to a VR attraction in a warehouse where I live and it was amazing, but the way they handled you being able to move around the warehouse was to use a kind of backpack gaming PC (which I assume was a gaming laptop with extra ventilation and a big battery bank). My idea is simply to use something like I just described, but much more inconspicuous. Like a sleeper gaming laptop with ventilation and a big battery bank in a black backpack, using this device to access it.
All you would have to do is carry around the backpack, almost like a gaming hub and this device is the portal. Just an idea, but since you have access to stuff like this, maybe you would be interested in trying something like that.
Uhhh... Why not just overclock the Switch and force the Switch to play the game in docked mode using custom firmware?
Bro got all in 1 ☠️☠️
This is ridiculous, and costs asuch as a switch
Always love your video
Legit, why don't you say the damn product name at the beginning of the video? or in the title?? "This is not this, this is not that", but don't say what it actually is??
Go look at the dumb name for this and then know why.
Believe or not. This is WiiU
Do Not Want. But, really enjoyed the video; like seeing this type of niche stuff.
Ah, the true successor to the Wii U
Switch oled is bettter
As an oled owner I'm not satisfied with the screen size and the weight is too heavy. I think they should try for something in the 8-10 inch size screen next time. I legitimately don't like playing modern games on a screen this small. As for the weight, it's too heavy to comfortably hold for long gaming sessions. It's triple the weight of a GBA. Remember the difference in weight between the PsP and the PsP 2000? It's clearly design choice, not inability to make it lighter.
PeakDo. PeakDo. PeakDo. I'm not sure why you've been keeping it such a secret for a while. You've been using this in your videos for a while.
I used the 1st version. This one is the second one.
The next switch will render 1080p in handheld mode.
Know why?
Dlss…..
I honestly don't see a point to this existing at the price point it's at. Absolute garbo.
Ill be honest with you. This thing is just stupid and incredibly expensive.
This looks like a Switch.
Well, if that screen is that expensive, then i think the switch 2 is either going to be 800p, or just not as bright
The blacks are horrendous and there’s too much luminescence on objects. Your OLED project looked better than this.
Nintendo is still angry about this probably. 😂
Here
way too much faffin
Super useless overpriced device
Super niche and exactly what I've wanted. I wanted a seven inch 1080p portable monitor that I can game on or use at home in this manner for specific games. It might be expensive but that's what saving up over time is for. Thank you so much for video @TakiUdon :D
I dont know wht iam watching, some explenatiin?
