Type of review

I am writing a review on this about a year after purchase because the backlight dimmed this morning and has now died within an hour. This renders the screen completely unusable, although it still shows up as a valid HDMI device on the computer. The screen was used in my project for displaying host statistics internally on the computer and served this purpose very well. It is a pity that the screen cannot be powered only via HDMI. This is a major inconvenience as I had to run custom 5V USB…

My model required micro USB power to turn on the screen.

I was hoping that this screen only needed HDMI power to power the screen. I used it in a gaming PC case. However, this requires a micro USB cable or the screen will not work. I hope this helps someone else trying to use it for the same application.

Died 3 months later in my review

Installed this as a stats screen in my Corsair case with AIDA64. Worked great, was legible through glass etc but died completely in just over 3 months. Shame as it fits perfectly but I will try another brand.
