Review on Eyoyo Monitor 1024X768 Resolution Portable by Wayne Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Decent little monitor for the money. Here are the Raspberry Pi config.txt settings to get it working.

I bought this monitor for my Raspberry Pi 3 to set up my system when no network connection is available. 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 seems like another layer above the signal and I had to go back to 16:9 to see it again. On the Pi you need to change the /boot/config.txt file to the correct settings to get the most out of your 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 note settings are listed here: -------- Start of config.txt for video only mode: ################ ## ############### DVI mode settings :# Uncomment this if your display shows a black frame with unused pixels# and your display can output without overscandisable_overscan=1# Uncomment, if the HDMI display is not detected and uncomment composite signal outputhdmi_force_hotplug=1# to enable a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)# 2 = standard VGA resolutions:hdmi_group=2# 16 = 1024x768 @ 60hz:hdmi_mode Uncomment =16# to enable HDMI mode as DWI. This may cause audio to work in # DMT (computer monitor) modes # 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 # Uncomment this , if your display has a black border that does not use visible # pixels and your display can be viewed without overscan disable_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 borders. These settings ensure that all pixels are visible: =1# comment out to enable a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)# 2 = standard VGA resolutions:hdmi_group=2# 16 = 1024x768 @ 60hz:hdmi_mode Uncomment =16# to force the setting to HDMI mode, not DVI. This allows the sound to work in # DMT modes (computer monitor) # 2 = HDMI modehdmi_drive=2

Small monitor - very versatile

Small, utilitarian display is cheaply built, but definitely functional and worth what it costs
