Superscreen vs Not Superscreen
Having Superscreen but not having seen a version without until just today in person but thinking I might like the wood on the passenger side, I noticed that the driver screen and wood don't meet on the same plane ? Unlike the Superscreen where it all flows.
As in, the screen appears mounted ?
If so that's a little disappointing

Without the super screen the center screen does look more like a mounted tablet since its not even with the rest of the dash. I personally like the seamless look of the super screen, but will admit the function of having a passenger screen is not that useful. Maybe in the future an update will make it mote useful. Its just a decoration for now. I keep the functional compass up and my son and daughter have used a time or two, but its mostly just the compass.

Same with me. The superscreen is at Compass setting and looks nice with different pics depending on the holidays. I have very few passengers up front who will not use that screen as you need a profile or guest settings. Neat and looks very smooth as stated above.

Every image I've seen with the E-class super screen shows a separate driver's screen, mounted exactly like the non-super screen version. Only the S-class has the full "flowing" screen. I personally selected the non-super screen because I didn't like the large swath of plastic and the thought of a passenger playing with the dash while I was concentrating on the road just didn't appeal to me. The wood with the metal strips does look great. Personal opinion.

My Taycan CT 4 was the first car I owned with a passenger screen. My wife missed having the screen in our 2023 EQS SUV. She is in the passenger seat 90% of the time I am driving the car which is frequently on a road trip. A zoomed out navigation map is usually on the passenger screen while a close up map is on the center screen. She is able to search for POIs on the passenger screen without disturbing the map view on the center screen.
If you drive alone most of the time, the passenger screen will be of little use.

The drivers screen when illuminated may seem to be in relief as the image is viewed through its protective overlay but the overlay surface actually merges with that of the passenger side
As CNET says: "Like the Hyperscreen that debuted on the EQS, the E-Class' Superscreen fuses multiple displays to a single, full-width glass panel."

I guess "fuses" is open to interpretation. Every image I've seen of the E-class has the driver's screen, i.e. the one with the speedometer, as a flat panel that it mounted above the steering wheel. It looks like I could grab it and break it off. It may be better integrated into the dash design than in some other cars. But it is definitely not full flowing or fused. Glued maybe. But not fused. Are you referring to the center screen?

My apologies. I thought the full width screen was called "Superscren". But the full width/seemless/fused screen is called the "Hyperscreen". The Hyperscreen does not have the separate tablet for speedometer/tachometer.

S-class, E450 W214, E350 W214
Actually, I think MB does call it "superscreen" in the W214 E-class. As a distinction, MB refers to the one used in the higher-end models of S-class and EQE/EQS as "hyperscreen", which has all 3 pieces of driver, center. and passenger screens fused into one piece of glass. In contrast, in the supercreen used in the W214 E-class vehicles, only the center and passenger screens are fused together whereas the driver screen is not. Without the superscreen in the W214 E-class, it is quite noticeable that the center screen is kind of hanging separate from the wood structure on the passenger side. Personally, I prefer very much the clean asthetics of a superscreen in the W214 E-class.

Incorrect as I and cruise2024 pointed out above.
Correct, however the term "fused" is a bit misleading and more a marketing term used to make it seem like it's more than it really is. The superscreen is two completely separate screens mounted behind a single peice of glass. The hyperscreen is three completely separate screens mounted behind a larger single peice of glass. They could just mount the screens on top of the dash and have the same functionality, but the look and asthetics are much different when they are "in" the dash. I agree that it looks better with the screens behind a single piece of glass.

I am just going to put this in the mix since that is how MB's design of the screen and layout of it would be in future MB models: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qTHeA6aDzuA/h...CcfSE88F_C5Y2A
It does not seem they are planning to have one actual screen like their concepts anytime soon:

Having one continuous screen that is not rectangular would likely increase cost for several reasons. As technology advances, it will get cheeper. There are several examples of them but they are rare still. Check out the Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR and its continuous screen. Now that is a screen! Skip to around 7 min to see the screen.

I personally wanted brown natural looking wood, and not that thrilled with the brown wood pieces stuck together with vertical Aluminum lines, and of course being charged $1515 for that privilege.
