Review on EVICIV Portable Monitor 5", Raspberry Display, 1024X600P Resolution, Built-In Speakers, Flicker-Free, Wall Mountable, MDS-5B01, HD by Matthew Basso

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good screen but not a very good price (see details). Conditionally recommended

5 inch touch display, EVICIV's 5 inch IPS touch screen monitor is pretty neat. While the 800 x 480 resolution isn't really enough for anything serious, it can give you a comfortable touchscreen interface for a limited UI. I used it as the UI for my HomeSeer setup where the RPi only made HTTP calls to HomeSeer from the UI. The user interface looks good on a brightly lit IPS panel. While the screen is pretty easy to set up and use, I have to say that the quality and price isn't exactly impressive. The EVICIV screen, in particular, is about $20 more expensive than other 5-inch solutions of comparable quality, and even more expensive than some 7-inch touchscreens (with superior resolution). So if you can find a cheaper IPS panel I would go with that. However, if TN panels are an alternative, you should buy EVICIV. Conditionally recommended
