Review on Eyoyo Monitor 1024X768 Resolution Portable by Steve French

I bought this monitor for my Raspberry Pi 3 to set up the system when there is no network connection. The screen is sharp, bright, and has decent viewing angles. The stand is high enough to prevent the HDMI cable from tipping over the screen. The on-screen controls are a little fiddly to use, but generally you don't need to fiddle with them. I played around a bit to get the right settings for this monitor; Out of the box, the Pi displayed a compressed image screen. Do not change the monitor's internal (menu) aspect ratio settings from 16:9 to 4:3. The 4:3 aspect ratio feels like another layer on top of the signal and I had to switch back to 16:9 to see anything again. On the Pi you need to change the /boot/config.txt file to the correct settings to get the most out of the screen. There are two modes you can start the screen in: - Video only = 1024 x 768 resolution. Strikingly sharp pixels; the best picture quality. No sound.- Video + Audio = Resolution 960x720. cloudier pixels; Image quality has deteriorated. has sound Below are the /boot/config.txt options that need to be set for both of the above modes. Only changes from default or settings are listed here for note: -------- Start of config.txt for Video Only mode: ################ # # ############### DVI Mode Settings :# Uncomment this if your display shows a black border of unused pixels# and your display can output without overscandisable_overscan=1# Uncomment, if the HDMI display is not detected and a composite signal is outputhdmi_force_hotplug=1# uncomment to enable a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)# 2 = standard VGA resolutions:hdmi_group=2# 16 = 1024x768 @ Uncomment 60hz:hdmi_mode=16# to enable HDMI mode as DWI. This can make the sound work in # DMT modes (computer monitor) # DVI mode = 1 # HDMI mode = 2 # Force switch to DVI mode for PIXEL: hdmi_drive = 1 ------- - Run config.txt for video + audio mode:################################## HDMI mode settings# Comment disable this if your display has an unused black border visible # pixels and your display can output without overscandisable_overscan=1# Uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers when the console number appears off-screen, and negative numbers when there are too many margins. These settings ensure that all pixels are visible: =1# comment out to enable a specific HDMI mode (this forces VGA)# 2 = standard VGA resolutions:hdmi_group=2# 16 = 1024x768 @ 60hz:hdmi_mode= Uncomment 16# to force setting HDMI mode, not DVI. This allows the sound to work in # DMT modes (computer monitor) # 2 = HDMI modehdmi_drive=2
