Review on Eyoyo 12 Inch 16 Resolution EYJ0130ZB by David Campbell

Works great as a small TV with Roku Stick

We've used the tablet as a TV screen on our kitchen counter, using the Hulu app to set channels, but it kept tipping over when we touched it in the kitchen. This small monitor is a much better solution and its stand is very stable. While it can't set its own channels, the addition of a Roku flash drive (or other similar devices like a Fire Stick) makes it the perfect addition to the kitchen, and we can now access all the extra content that's available via a flash are available drive. Good. One caveat: the monitor's HDMI port is low enough that the joystick doesn't touch the surface when the monitor is on the counter, but adding an inexpensive HDMI extender allows the joystick to wrap around the bottom of the monitor backwards to crook. and invisible when viewed from the front. The flash drive can be powered from the USB port on the monitor. The built-in speakers are small and a little tinny, but adequate, and there's a jack to plug in a larger speaker if needed. It would be nice if the button on the Roku Stick could turn the monitor on and off, but there's no code for that. I have a feeling there is code from another manufacturer that might be compatible, but it will likely take some trial and error to find one that works as there are hundreds of combinations. I will post an addendum to this review if I can find compatible code to control power and volume. At the same time, using the included remote control isn't a problem, and in any case, there's an on/off button at the bottom.

Pros
  • Excellent value for money. Need VGA, HDMI and display ports to connect.
Cons
  • This product LOOKS like a TV... IT IS NOT... It's just a monitor and requires a cable to use it
