Review on HMTECH 7" Raspberry Pi Monitor - Wall Mountable, Portable Gaming Monitor, PS4 Display, 60Hz HDMI by Jesse Jacobs

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Viewing angles are terrible

I was trying to use this as a hardware monitor for my PC. The 2 main issues preventing me from recommending this are: 1. The viewing angles are terrible. The description says 178° viewing angle. It's not, according to the manual it's only 70°, which I tend to think because the angle looked so horrible.2. The aspect ratio gets stuck at 4:3 instead of 16:9. Could be a Windows driver issue, but I couldn't get the correct ratio using the Windows or NVIDIA utilities. The text has been compressed and the circles have been rendered as ovals. Probably better for a Raspberry Pi device, but not for Windows. So it's disappointing not to have a mini HDMI cable for the Pi, as that's the main use advertised.
