good display - my new test report

I liked the ad. On a screen this size, I worked best at a lower resolution. It was easier to read. The screen was very good. The screen does not have a wide viewing angle. This screen is great for programming your Raspberry Pi for offline use.

Good stats monitor for your H200 or similar

The monitor is clear and easy to read. I have a complaint that the monitor stays light blue when there is no signal and I don't know how to fix this issue. Maybe I just didn't get it, but when I logged into windows it's a really nice display! No regrets if you're looking for a small monitor and it's just the thing for you.

The best 5 inch screen for your Pi

This is by far the best 5 inch touch screen for your Pi or other small device. It connects on a plug-and-play basis, doesn't suffer from the issues that other non-capsule screens suffer from, and has convenient mounting points. It has excellent display quality. and slightly more expensive than cheaper models.

Works fine as described

I wanted a small monitor that I can use with my PC and show PC stats here. It was the perfect choice and size for my case. Can be connected via HDMI and powered via the USB port or powered via a mini USB to motherboard connection cable. Works well although sometimes the touch doesn't respond, but that's not a problem as I don't use the touch function.

The quality is not good in my opinion

The picture quality is bad, it's dark, I used it for my computer case as a touchpad, I can't return it, my expiry date has passed if I bought another brand, I've learned my lesson

Ideal for Windows 10 and mining

Plugged it in and it worked right away! The touchscreen is great too, so I don't need a mouse! Ideal for monitoring computer levels. I will buy again!

  • Empty

The product is very good, well packaged and works well, the only problem is that the viewing angles are not very good. It's not bad if you plan to use it for temperature monitoring, but there's a noticeable color shift that may bother you if you're looking at the screen from the side.

Use for mining

Works great, great details. The touchscreen works natively with HiveOS on MSI MPG-Z390-GAMER-PLUS motherboard, no additional drivers needed, no driver disk needed, but it works just in case. Depending on your setup, you may need to turn off the power, but this is a great low-power solution. I am very happy with it. They even double the screen protector during shipping, and it fits well in styrofoam and a hard box.

Expensive but serves its purpose

You need another monitor to view the stats on the monitor. The quality is a bit grainy, but that's okay, just like an old smartphone. In fact, you can even use your phone to monitor. But either way, the resolution might be better than advertised, but the words get really small. Colors are a bit washed out, but that's the way it is on a small screen anyway.

Too bad - my new review

So I bought this mini display to put in my computer. I wanted to use Aida-64 for temperature control and what not. The display has a white stripe on the left side. I tried everything to get rid of the white line but nothing worked. Apparently my display is defective. Tragically, the worst thing is that I already have it installed and don't want to break the whole computer to remove the display. Do not buy.
