🔍 EVICIV Raspberry Touchscreen Ultra Wide 178°Multi Point 1920X1280P Portable Monitor: Ideal Gaming Monitor for Xbox, IPS Display, HDMI Connectivity Review

Originally reviewed January 26, 2021 This monitor is amazingly light and thin. The images are clear and the colors are good. It has decent brightness and contrast. As a monitor I am very happy with it. There are two ways to power this monitor. One is an external power source such as a battery or AC power module that uses the bottom USB-C port. The other is a USB-C cable that connects to the top USB-C port when the other end of the cable is connected to a device that has enough power to run the…

I've been using this little monitor sporadically for a few months now. I've used it while traveling, I've used it to quickly act as a second monitor while working from home, and more. Simply put, picture quality is pretty good at 60kHz, colors are vibrant, brightness is even, etc. True 1080P as far as I can tell. The screen is very sharp at 1080p and I believe it's absolutely on par with, if not better than, the quality you'll find in most tablets etc. There are some limitations to the…

I originally ordered this to have a touchscreen for use with a Raspberry Pi recipe app I wanted to install in my kitchen to avoid having cookbooks lying around and taking up counter space. But I haven't had enough Raspberry Pis (temporarily) and I have a Lenovo laptop with a broken screen. I figured this would be a good way to at least update Windows without having to use a full size monitor to update every time. I was also able to test the operation of the touchscreen. Firstly, it comes with…

When I saw this product I thought it would be great to use with my Raspberry Pi so I don't have to keep using one of my desktop monitors. I didn't have room for a full size monitor for the Pi and wanted it to be somewhat portable. This monitor seemed like a great solution. When I first unboxed it, I liked that the monitor came with a protective case, charging cable, and multiple cables for connecting to different devices. It also has a reasonable user manual that explains how to connect it in…

It has excellent screen quality and touch response. However, the supplied cables are a bit shorter, which is sometimes less convenient. I like the laptop compatibility as it makes my touchscreen experience much easier. Another thing I would have liked would have been the ability to use two fingers to zoom, but nonetheless it's a solid product.

My old portable screen stopped working and then actually slowed down my tablet. I found this one with very good features and just had to try it. I wasn't disappointed, the screen is amazing. The picture quality is as good as my expensive tablet, maybe even better. The touchscreen is very responsive and works great with anything I might send to it, from games to apps to internal functions, all of which are touch sensitive. There is also a screen setting for the image that works very well too. I…

This portable screen is a great addition to my DIY mini PC collection. I have a laser engraver and a vinyl cutter and two different types of 3D printers. The great thing about the screen is that after tweaking all the cables that came with it and the HMI device driver found on my mini pc, I can just use the screen instead of the keyboard and mouse. This screen comes with so many cables that you don't need to buy anything for this monitor, and the case also doubles as a stand and protection when

I tried 4 different models of touch screens, 2 of which had electrical and mechanical defects. This 12.3-inch screen was the first to come out of the box. It wakes up properly just by touching the screen, which is important for my mouseless Raspberry Pi. The case doubles as a stand and actually works better. than I expected, although there were no clear instructions on how to use the case. To do this, I had to match the image on the product page. I've been using this model for a week now and…

The company responded to my review via email and we're very gracious, right down to offering a refund and a replacement monitor. So far the new monitor is working perfectly. First Review: My monitor worked fine for about 6 weeks. Now it just shows a black screen with a flickering green power light. Also, the logo still doesn't show up when it's on. Appears to be completely dead. Very disappointed. Update: Just plugged it in to double check, the monitor made a loud squeak for about 5 seconds…

This product worked great with both PC and Raspberry Pi; However, I mainly wanted to use it with a Samsung phone with DEX. Unfortunately, the image was stretched in both available resolution modes. This is more of a limitation of the Samsung Dex technology than anything else, and other than that I was pleased with the product's brightness, picture quality and build quality. As mentioned, the case protects the screen well, but falls short as a stand. I would like to see a different cover. If…

In order to be able to work from home during this pandemic, I decided to buy a second monitor to increase my productivity and get my work done twice as fast so I can spend more time with my family. After a lot of research and price comparisons, this choice turned out to be the best value for the features I was looking for. The monitor exceeded my expectations and more! The image is so amazingly bright, sharp and clear, it's like night and day compared to my HP desktop, it's a pleasure to use…

I installed the screen today on a fresh Raspberry Pi 4. Installation was quick when I found out I had to install a USB-C to USB-A cable to get the touchscreen working (it works out of the box). I am very happy with my purchase and looking forward to installing it in my kitchen with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a portable screen (that can stand alone) for use with many IoT/portable computing devices!

I bought this display for my homemade CNC router. The monitor works great and is perfect for my project. I've been using the system for over a year with no problems. After not using the router for 4-6 months, but 18 months after purchasing the display, I found that the display does not turn on. I was frustrated but having no other choice I bought a replacement monitor and now my CNC is working again. Then I contacted Superfect to inquire about the warranty situation and they were great. My…

I've been using the EVICIV 12.1" Portable Touch Monitor for a few months now and am very happy and satisfied with it. It's been a fantastic purchase. I mainly use it to run a Virtual Piano (VPC) and a Bee-Link Mini -PC (see attached images) set up - I think the two go hand in hand for a very portable configuration that I've used for other purposes besides VPC. EVICIV's performance has been consistently top notch and bug free. Since I don't use it for gaming I can't rate that aspect of…

This is by far the best purchase I've made and makes it easy to work remotely. This monitor is very easy to connect and very lightweight, which makes remote work very easy. I was able to visit friends and family and work abroad without sacrificing my usual dual monitor setup. I even use it at home sometimes when I need three monitors. No problems to report. I have owned this monitor for about 1 year at the time of writing this review.

I needed a 12.3 inch monitor and quickly settled on it based on the approximate dimensions I had. I wanted something similar in size to the current Surface Pro. This seemed the most appropriate to me. The tablet arrived very well packaged, just like an Apple product. Very impressive! I had a little trouble setting up the touchscreen at first as there were no instructions in the box. I don't know of any website you could visit. *NOTE: All included cables must be used in order to use the touch…

Not bad overall, but has a few flaws: - The buttons are tiny and closely spaced, making them difficult to use. They also appear to be of very low quality. - There is no input selection method, it's just automatic. - By default, the up/down button works with brightness, not volume. This is not configurable - The display does not work properly with the Apple Lightning to HDMI Adapter, and the display has no zoom or crop functionality, so regardless of the selected aspect ratio, it shows a massive

How nice that I can quickly and easily add a monitor to my iOS device or my Windows device. It worked great: plug it into my iPad and voila: a second monitor that I can use to mirror my iPad or extend it with supporting apps. Please note that although this monitor has a touch screen, the touch screen does not work with iOS. Therefore, this device is read-only with iOS. On the other hand, when I connect it to a Windows device, it works fine as a second monitor, AND the touchscreen works exactly…

I was looking for a smaller portable monitor so I wouldn't have to lug around a heavy 15 inch monitor anymore. This is exactly what I was looking for and more (touchscreen) at a great price! I also ordered several other monitors, all of which were returned. I was looking for something 12-13 inches with a bright screen, integrated lid/stand, light weight and only needed one cable for video and power. This monitor is perfect for me. All monitors should support reverse charging. It was the only…

UPDATE: I just had to confirm my absolute disgust for this monitor and for EVICIV as a "company", even if they really are one entity and not just a brand with another company dumping their junk. I HATE THIS MONITOR. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE this. I hate this. It has been running for 3 minutes, the touchscreen has now stopped working and the clicking noise is clearly indicative of a hazard to the components of any computer it is connected to. I hate this monitor and I hate this company. GO…
