Review on ๐ŸŽฎ HAMTYSAN 7" Non Touch Gaming Monitor for Raspberry Pi, Switch, PS4, XBOX - 1920x1080P, 60Hz Refresh Rate, Camera Secondary Screen by Sean Cotton

Limited use but works well.

The display comes as a bare display. It's meant to be like a display that you embed in something. The only setting you get is on/off. Accepts HDMI and uses Micro-USB for power delivery. This is IMHO the biggest disadvantage. Along with the benefits of USB-C, you also have micro-USB cables, which are becoming increasingly rare, so you need to keep an eye on that one more cable. On the other hand, it runs directly from the USB port, so it doesn't seem to use much power at all. I tested with Windows 11 and RPI. Windows 11 is set to 800 x 480 by default. This lets you up the resolution to 1080p, but to be honest, anything higher than the default makes reading text almost impossible. Also, Windows 11 isn't really designed to be used at such a low resolution, so most apps aren't designed for scrolling, meaning a lot of things are just off-screen. I don't think it's really for sale, but if you plan on using it for that, you won't have a good experience. On RPI, in the main cli, the text was fairly easy to read. It's not very bright, but decent enough for some daylight. I think more practical uses are a dedicated resource monitor or a quick reference monitor. It comes with a stand, but be aware you'll need to find a way to secure it or mount it in a case.
