Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Eyoyo 12'' HDMI CCTV Monitor: Metal Housing, Remote Control, Multiple Inputs, Built-in Speakers โ€“ Ideal for PC, Security Camera, Raspberry Pi by Ruby Thomas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The display is excellent but it came with the wrong power supply - almost caught fire

The display itself is excellent. The picture is bright and clear, and the case is well made and feels very solid. Not much to say about the stand - it works great. The problem is that I had the wrong power supply. There is a large sticker on the back of the monitor that says it requires 12v at 2 amps. The power adapter that came with the monitor was only rated for 1 amp. It was on my media server as a troubleshooting tool in case I couldn't access it remotely for some reason. Monitor was off but on 24/7. Yesterday I accidentally walked into the room and smelled burning electronics - both the power supply and the back of the monitor were very hot. Luckily the monitor seems to have recovered - I tested it with a correct power supply after it had cooled down and it was fine. The power supply went in the trash and I ordered a replacement with the correct specs for $12.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Weight
