Frequently Asked Questions

What monitor sizes are compatible with Foote? Plus

Foote has been developed to be used with portable monitors. Most portable monitors have a size of 15 or 17 inches and weigh no more than 1.2 kg, which Foote can easily handle. Larger and heavier monitors are difficult to carry, and Foote is not suitable for those

Does Foote come with a mobile monitor included? Plus

We can offer multiple monitors with Foote when you order from us. We offer both 15 and 18 inch screens in various resolutions.

How do I attach my portable monitor to my Foote? Plus

There are 3 options to attach Foote to your mobile monitor:

  1. Your monitor is VESA 75x75 compatible. It is important that the VESA mount is located in the center of the monitor, both horizontally and vertically, so that the center of the VESA mount aligns with the center of the monitor. The back of the monitor should be completely flat.
  2. Your monitor has neither a VESA nor a tripod connection but is completely flat on the back. In this case, we have a connection that can be securely attached to the back center of the monitor. This connection can later be transformed into a VESA 75x75 connection."
  3. Your monitor has neither a VESA nor a tripod connection nor is it completely flat on the back. You can still use the Foote with tablet hooks. Your monitor is then placed on the tabs/hooks meant for the tablet. In this cas your monitor and Foote are not attached to each other.
I already have a portable monitor. Can I purchase Foote separately and use it? Plus

You can purchase Foote separately and use it with a portable monitor of your choice, as long as it weighs less than 1.2 kg and has one of the 3 attachment methods mentioned above. If you're not sure, you can always contact us and we'll figure it out for you.

Can I connect my tablet or smartphone the portable monitor? Plus

This is possible but your tablet or smartphone must support this function.

Because the battery of your mobile device is smaller then that of a laptop, we recommend to connect you monitor to a charger of 30W. This way your mobile device will be charged aswell.

Can my monitor charge my mobile device or laptop? Plus

Yes, this is possible. First connect you monitor to your device using the USB-C cable, then connect you charger to the second USB-C port of you monitor. This charger will then provide power to both your monitor and your laptop. We advice you to use a charger of minimum 30 Watt power and maximum 60 Watt power.

Can I change the text size on MacOS? Plus

If you are using a 4K monitor you can change the size by going to Settings > Displays. Here you can change the text size for your build-in and connected displays.

If you are using a 2K or 1440p monitor together with MacOS, we advice you to use the tool BetterDisplay. This tool allows you choose between different HiDPI resolutions. That way you can change the text size without the image becoming blurry.

Has my Ipad Pro or Ipad Air the extended monitor support? Plus

To extend the display of an Ipad Pro or Air , it needs to have an M1-chip or higher and have IpadOS 16.3 or newer installed. For more information we like to refer to this Youtube-clip.

The colors of my monitor seem pale and washed out, what is the problem? Plus

Your device is probably sending a HDR signal (High Dynamic Range) to your monitor. Go to the settings of your device and change this from HDR to SDR ( Standard Dynamic Range). Now the colors on your monitor should look normal. You can also change the colorvalues of your monitor using the settings. To enter the settings click on the toggle wheel on the left or right side of your monitor.

How do I pronounce Foote? Plus

You pronounce Foote as "Foot" (or fʊt to be correct).

Our Foote is named after Eunice Foote, the 19th century American physicist, inventor, and women's rights advocate. She was the first to discover the effect of CO2 on global warming. We thought it was a nice coincidence that our Foote is also a "foot" for your screen.
