Playstation Portal screen angle, grip comfort (lemmy.world)

Did anyone else get their Playstation Portal? I'm having issues with couch seating and my natural grip position. The grip is fine, but the screen angle points upward too much, resulting in glare from whatever is behind and above me (a window, no less). I can change my grip to angle the screen downward towards me, but it's really uncomfortable. Things are better if I sit straight up and hold the Portal lower.

But I'm a a creature of comfort and I'm going to be sitting chill on the couch using this thing. I honestly don't understand how this is even a problem; I never even thought about this ever with my Switch or Steam Deck. Did Playstation not, like, survey a bunch of 30-50 year olds who are probably gonna kick back on a couch to use this thing?

Update: I changed my grip a bit and it helped! Also, holding it upright closer to my face feels okay, too. Lost track of time and my hand wasn't in any discomfort after a few hours, trying various games in different genres.

If you are really curious, it's basically a "handheld" which can only be used to remote play PS5 games (from your own PS5). So you can turn on your PS5, and play any game on your bed or on couch on PS Portal. Or if you have good connection, you could play it over the internet when you are out, streaming games from your home PS5.

Thanks Slime. You dropped this 👑

I was actually curious yes. People just assume nefarious for some weird reason.

Thank you. I hate looking up what devices are because it's usually ads, doesn't actually tell you and they use buzzwords which are meaningless to me.

I have to admit your initial comment did not read as genuine curiosity which is why I asked if you knew what community you were in. I apologize for misreading, but I think you can see how some people might see your comment as an attempt to dunk on consoles for no reason.
