Review on Thinlerain Monitor - 17 Inch Mountable Built with 1280X1024 Resolution, Built-in Speakers and HDMI Connectivity. by Dracon Tegan

Image: Completely sufficient for a monitor in this price range. The OSD buttons are on the back and it takes a while to get used to which button does what. Switching between inputs takes a few button presses - could be easier. There is no LED on the front to indicate whether the device is on or off. Everything is bearable. The real disappointment, however, is that only the top two of the four VESA mounting holes are threaded. The bottom two holes are just holes in the plastic cover. When installing this monitor on a tilt-adjustable monitor mount, the two-screw mount is totally inappropriate. If you tilt the screen (especially up) if you're not paying close attention to the underside of the VESA mount, all of the torque will be transferred to these two small screws. Pulling them straight out of the back isn't difficult. If all four corners of the 100mm mount were properly screwed everything would be fine, but it isn't. Typically, such assembly problems result in the entire set of connections shifting slightly in one direction or another. Here (see second photo) they are everywhere. HDMI: Top Left, VGA: Top Right (and rotated), Audio: Top Left, Power: Left. While the position doesn't seem to affect functionality, it certainly points to poor build quality. The curved sticker on the back (first photo) confirms this observation.
