The displays on Apple laptops are lovely, but as with all laptops, limiting. Users have less on-screen room to work than, say, iMac users who benefit from vastly more screen real estate to spread out their apps and documents.
Solutions do exist. When working at a table or desk, MacBook users can connect one or more external displays to create multi-screen workstations. And when on the move, they can harness an iPad as a second display (see 'Catalina's Sidecar Turns an iPad into a Second Mac Monitor,' 21 October 2019).
A Texas company called Xebec has taken a different, novel approach. Its Tri-Screen accessory hangs on the back of a MacBook screen and provides a pair of 10.1-inch displays that slide out on either side. The end result is a compact multi-screen workstation with the laptop's primary screen in the center, and Xebec's secondary displays on the left and right. The Tri-Screen also works with a variety of PC laptops. It lists for $449.99 but is currently available on a holiday sale for $399.99.
The Tri-Screen is a promising idea. The implementation needs work.
I have been testing the Tri-Screen for a while and liking the enhanced productivity that such a multi-screen setup affords. But the hardware is quirky in ways that have caused me frustration.
Xebec isn't the only manufacturer to try this trick. A California company called Mobile Pixels has taken a similar tack with its Trio gear. I won't spend much time on the Trio since Mobile Pixels didn't respond to my requests for loaner hardware, but I'll have a few thoughts later on how the Trio compares to the Tri-Screen.
Display Triplication
The Tri-Screen is an ingenious bit of mechanical engineering. Its rectangular chassis consists of two interlocking plastic pieces for adjustable width—and an internal elastic band to create tension.
The chassis fits onto the rear of the MacBook's open screen, and it is thin enough to not seem absurd hanging that way. The elastic band keeps the apparatus clamped onto the laptop lid's edges.
The Tri-Screen's displays, already partially protruding on either side, slide all the way out and have hinges so they can be angled toward the user.
Each screen's outer edge incorporates one Mini HDMI port and two USB-C ports, which are for the necessary cables that connect to the laptop.
Xebec includes two USB-C to USB-C cables, two USB-C to USB-A cables, and two Mini HDMI to HDMI cables. These give the Tri-Screen compatibility with most Apple notebooks going back a half-decade (with, in some cases, a Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter needed to complete the setup).
Setting up the Tri-Screen is straightforward, especially if you have a laptop with two or more USB-C ports. My MacBook Air has two USB-C ports on the left side, so the cable coming out of the right-hand Tri-Screen display has to snake around the back of the laptop to reach a port.
The screens then activate as expected but may need adjustment. In my case, the image on one screen was upside down, requiring a visit to System Preferences > Displays. Also, one of the displays was blank because I had connected the cable to the wrong USB-C port; one of these ports on each screen is for video, the other for power. My MacBook Air's charging cord plugs into one of those power ports.
In addition, my screens were too dim. System Preferences was no help here. I had to fiddle with the display's generic on-screen controls via awkward mechanical buttons. Even after I maxed out the brightness on both displays, one remained a bit dimmer than the other.
At this point, I was ready to get some work done, but I needed to temper my expectations. Like an iPad used as a Mac display via Sidecar, the Tri-Screen displays are smaller than the MacBook Air's display, so they're best used for secondary items like video-editor toolbars or social-media windows. Something more intricate—like a Numbers spreadsheet or Pages document—can be difficult to make out on the 1920-by-1200 displays. I got a Gmail window to work after zooming way in so I could comfortably read it, but doing so limited the amount of information I could have on the screen.
You can, by the way, use just one Tri-Screen screen if that is all you need, and keep the other tucked away.
Regardless, the Tri-Screen's benefits are obvious. More screens means more room to spread out, with fewer windows stacked atop each other. I felt myself working more efficiently and becoming more productive—that is, when I was not dealing with the Tri-Screen's annoyances.
Tri-Problems
The Tri-Screen is far from a perfect product, and you should carefully consider its shortcomings before deciding whether to invest in one.
- Clutter: If you like to keep your work area tidy, the Tri-Screen may not be for you. As a bit of a neat freak, I became irritated at all the cables connecting the various components. In my case, that totals three USB-C cables, including the laptop charging cable. With a bit of effort, you can minimize visual clutter by arranging the cables mostly out of sight. But such cable complexity makes the workstation time-consuming to set up and break down even though you can keep the Tri-Screen attached to the laptop for (somewhat awkward) transport.
- Instability: The boxy Tri-Screen weighs 2 pounds (907 g), which is enough to cause my MacBook Air's screen to sag backward. Xebec tries to solve this problem with an Allen wrench repurposed as a mini-stand that fits into a hole in the back of the Tri-Screen and props up the laptop screen. However, this hack might not work for those who put their laptops onto angled stands for improved ergonomics when working at a desk.The Tri-Screen also is liable to fall off the laptop lid if you are not careful. Xebec designed the Tri-Screen's upper-left and upper-right edges with lips designed to hold onto a laptop lid, but this attempt doesn't work as well as it should. Depending on which laptop model you own, it might not work at all.
- Connectivity: I mentioned how display settings need tweaking when setting up the Tri-Screen. I had to do this repeatedly. Neither the brightness settings nor the one that prevented the display contents from appearing upside down stuck through sessions. I also had to repeatedly fiddle with System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement because the Tri-Screen displays kept forgetting their logical positions.
Eva, the number wizard mac os. You can avoid all of these problems by keeping the laptop in one place, plugged into power, and with Energy Saver set to never sleep. But that, obviously, defeats the entire purpose of having a mobile Mac.
Generally speaking, the Tri-Screen is a quirky accessory that is bound to cause aggravation, as Xebec appears to acknowledge with a detailed troubleshooting page along with an offer to schedule help calls. That's great customer service, but seeing the company go to such lengths doesn't inspire confidence in the product.
Tri-Competition
As I noted, Xebec has competition in Mobile Pixel's Trio product, which sets up in much the same manner. I wasn't able to test it alongside the Tri-Screen, but a look at the company's Web site yields useful bits of information.
The Trio is modular with two standalone screens that are blended to constitute a three-screen workstation. If one extra screen is all you need, just buy a single Trio. The modularity also means you could easily repurpose a Trio for another use, like playing games with a Nintendo Switch.
But getting the two screens onto a laptop's lid—a process that involves metal plates, magnets and other doodads—looks like a chore.
The Trio comes in two sizes. The 12.5-inch Trio ($299.99 list; currently on sale for $259.99) is intended for smaller laptops such as my MacBook Air but is larger than the 10.1-inch Tri-Screen, and the 14.1-inch Trio Max ($359.99 list; currently on sale fro $309.99) is for large notebooks such as the 16-inch MacBook Pro.
The Trios have a 16:9 aspect ratio with a 1920-by-1080 pixel resolution, compared to the Tri-Screen's 1920-by-1200 pixel resolution.
Worth the Bother?
I remain intrigued by the idea of attached auxiliary laptop displays to ramp up productivity, but the Tri-Screen is too much of a hassle in its current form, particularly given its price. A regular monitor isn't comparable, of course, but $400 will get you a decent 4K monitor.
I don't want to have to adjust the displays before getting to work every day. Nor did I enjoy continually struggling to keep my screen at the desired angle while worrying about the Tri-Screen becoming dislodged. And, as an OCD sufferer, all that cable clutter is distracting.
I wonder if Xebec should consider a two-display apparatus that wraps around a notebook but doesn't hang off the screen. A number of single displays are available for this purpose, but what I have in mind is a multi-display accessory that stands on its own, positioned behind and around a laptop, and folds up like a portfolio when not in use.
After experimenting with the Tri-Screen, I'm going back to my iPad and the Sidecar feature when I need a secondary MacBook display. It's less messy and doesn't require a lot of fiddling to get working. You can even attach your iPad to the left or right edge of a MacBook's display using a Mountie accessory that my TidBITS colleague Jeff Porten found 'transformative' (see 'Attach an iPad to Your MacBook as a Second Display with Mountie,' 22 February 2019).

The creation of 'virtual volumes'
Watch over christmas mac os. Tri-CATALOG can analyze the content of any volume (disk, partition, CD, DVD, USB key, etc.) or folder. It creates a 'virtual volume' containing the list of files and folders in the hierarchical organization, and the views of all the images (as thumbnails).
You can create an unlimited number of 'virtual volumes'. These 'virtual volumes' remain accessible at all times, even if the original disk is no longer available.
So you can keep all the content you want in your database while using only a limited space.
Note: Options are provided to limit the images for which a thumbnail is created and set the thumbnail size.
Browse the 'virtual volumes'
All 'virtual volumes' that you have created are available at any time, even if the original disk is no longer available. You can browse their contents, view images and read the information (file attributes, EXIF and IPTC data of images, etc.).
The main window displays a list of all volumes analyzed (left), the contents of the selected volume and images.
An image can be displayed in large in the browser (with the maximum size of the thumbnail stored in the 'virtual volume') or even full screen if the original image is available.
Search the 'virtual volumes'
If you need to find an image or file, search in the data base on some or all of the volumes saved.
Tri-CATALOG can show you the pictures you want to retrieve, and will tell you where and in what device the original item is saved.
Research can be done on the images of a particular volume, using the name as well as file attributes (date, size, etc.) and shooting attributes (exposure, aperture, focal length, sensitivity, etc.) by selecting the desired values in the panel of research. Only images that match the selected criteria are displayed:
A multi-criteria search is also possible on the entire data base or selected volumes.

Share the 'virtual volumes'
For each volume, there is a file 'virtual volume' created in the database.
The analysis of a disk (or folder) by Tri-CATALOG creates a 'virtual volume' in the database:
You can share volumes with other users or other machines, so they can see your pictures and photos (as thumbnails) and the list of files contained in the original volume (but they will not access the real pictures and files).
This is an easy way to share or send your images to others.
You can yourself see the 'virtual volumes' created by other users, but you can not share these volumes or edit them.
Share volumes by sending 'virtual volumes': You can send a 'virtual volume' by e-mail, or by copying across a network, a USB key, etc. The recipient will just need to have a version of Tri-CATALOG 7 (including the free version 'Free Reader'), and copy the 'virtual volume' in its local database to view the images and content of the volume you send.
Note: The recipient will onlyhave the thumbnails and the list of contents, but not the original files, nor the real images.
Share volumes with the sharing features: Tri-CATALOG offers several ways to share volumes of the database, in addition to that described in the preceding paragraph. Roses will rise mac os. You can use DropBox, iCloud, a FTP server or a remote server over a LAN to share volumes.
You choose which volumes you want to share and by what means. The transfer is then automatic.
Tri-CATALOG use as image server
From the browser window showing a volume, you can directly use the images, whether they are on your hard drive or server, make a copy or drag and drop to other applications (mail software, website editor, etc.).
All the images are directly accessible and usable for your work or creation.
For example, you can easily add an image in an email (without needing the original):
Use Tri-CATALOG in READER mde
Tri-CATALOG can be used in consultation only (Reader). All volumes are available from the data base with the display and research functions, but the user can not modify the data base.
A 'READER Free Landonleg2004s basics in learning and stuff mac os. ' mode allows you to use Tri-CATALOG free (without needing a license) to view a single volume (created by a registered version of Tri-CATALOG). This makes it easy to send a 'virtual volume' to another person who can easily visualize your images.
Import old database Tri-CATALOG (4, 5 or 6)
Tri Vs Tri Mac Os Download
Tri-CATALOG 7 can convert and import volumes analyzed with older versions (since version 4). You can then use directly all the work already done with an older version.
Note that with older versions, there were less recognized image formats, read less data (EXIF / IPTC, etc.) and thumbnail quality was lower. It is advisable to reanalyze these volumes.
