Thirty dollars worth: my rating

It's almost impossible to get this board to stick to a particle board. I've tried regular double sided tape and double sided Gorilla Glue and neither of them have held up. The left side doesn't like sticking to the tape. But it works and I'll buy it again.

Works great with Arcade1up

I think it works perfectly.

Very happy. Turned my arcade1up into a Pandora's box using the arcade joystick I already had. Even the stock power button worked!

Works well for 1up screen

Perfect for the 1up mod but you get an extra part that you don't need for the 1up screen app. Kind of extra free stuff. That's a good thing, the best part is that it's free.

Works great: my review

Anyone who complains that there is no sound is wrong. You have not followed ETA Prime's instructions. You don't connect it to the Raspberry Pi, so HDMI doesn't work. They run a line from the controller to an external amplifier for sound.

Works great with Arcade 1Up video game mods.

I like its simplicity. Plug in your screen, connect it to your preferred input and away you go. Just like this one. My two reeds with grounding screw and nut are included. Make sure you use it and you won't have any problems.

Easy installation for Raspberry Pi Mod in 1up arcade

I got this to convert the input for my 1up arcade to connect a raspberry pi. I just followed someone's instructions on YouTube and it works as it should. I didn't even have to buy a power supply as my 1up arcade has a power supply that is compatible with it! I set aside 1 part that is not really needed in my build. Works great and the price is reasonable. Highly recommended for people who want to mod their 1up arcade machine to play Raspberry Pi.

Go green, recycle, reuse old monitors

There are a few old LCDs that haven't done anything and they've given them new life, paired them with a Pi 3b+ board and an Asus Tinker and it's all holding up great. so you can continue assembling the arcade cabinet. gotta order a few more!

IF YOU GET WEIRD WAVES, DO IT. (ARCADE1UP)

Good price in my opinion

Uses this in a retropy setup. It works great but there is some noise on the screen which seems to be due to how close this board is to the back of the arcade LCD. So make sure you insulate it well and provide some separation between the two when installing.

Used for Mod Arcade1up

I used this to install a Raspberry Pi in an Arcade1up cabinet. It worked great. The contacts can be a bit delicate and I had to be careful when connecting them, but it was just what I needed. Added the ability to change the display settings to the buttons.

Green Power LED flashes and restarts

I have M170ETN01 1. I've used the same board before and it works. However, on this monitor, it turns on and flashes green to show the screen, then turns off and on again. It keeps running, I don't know what to do, this is the second board I've bought and still the same problem.

I received this to upgrade my aracade1up case.

This worked great with my Street Fighter 2 Arcade 1up case. The only downside is that I needed a ground screw which was not included so be aware you will need your own ground screw.
