Eviciv Portable Monitor: Touch Screen, Built-In Speakers, 7-Inch Display (1024X600), MDS-702 Review

This is the fourth time I'm writing this because I keep hitting the back button and losing everything just before I want to submit. So I'll be brief. This is the second time I have bought a 7 inch round screen from this seller and both times the same packaging, everything is very beautiful, the screen has weight, it is durable, high quality, it has built-in speakers, it comes with a 3 amp power supply is a set of wires, pretty much everything you will ever need is right here except for the…

UPDATE 3/2/2022 It's been a while since I looked at this screen and since then I can see that some of my issues have been resolved. In particular, the item description and marketing material no longer references the Pi Zero (which was one of my original complaints). The current item description no longer makes me believe that Pi Zero devices should be supported out of the box. I believe this is a reasonable solution to my complaint in this area. I've also noticed in some other recent reviews…

I bought an EATX case that has it built in and this doesn't take up much space, the 7 inch screen fits perfectly in the case and with the IPS screen it's bright enough even with dark smoked glass. It works great. for a quick look at the stats for Pi-Hole and I can get an idea of what's happening on my network. The screen is bright, sharp and clear. I'll definitely look at another one when I set up another Raspberry Pi as a Plex server. Although I usually log into it remotely, it's nice to have…

**Updated 7/2/22** Screen replacement seems to take 2 weeks. The first screen appears to have a slightly thicker screen assembly than the replacement and the replacement is identical to my first screen which is still working so the defective one could be a different version of this product. Overall rating 4 stars due to the fact that I had to deal with the first broken screen. **Original Review** I bought one of these screens a few years ago and it still works perfectly, but for some reason…

I have several Raspberry Pis that I have scattered everywhere. If they're new, you'll need to set them up, usually with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. A regular desktop monitor is inconvenient to carry around, especially when you need to debug a Pi that you've placed somewhere other than your desk. This is a very good small HDMI monitor that is very easy to move around. All you need for power is a micro USB power adapter. I didn't use the touchscreen feature so I can't comment on that aspect.

I bought this touchscreen product on a dedicated 3D printer, after a few weeks the screen started inverting the image every few milliseconds. I contacted Eviciv and they were happy to send out a new screen after testing it in stock. The new screen worked on arrival and is still working today.

I like the video and sound quality, the touchscreen is responsive and works well. I am using Pi4 (version 1.2) with Raspberry Pi OS 5.4 and everything worked without problems. I have one small complaint and that is the only reason I declined the 5th star in the overall rating. First, I should note the "gift" cables that were included. When you use the "Gift" FPC cable together with the "Gift" 3-pin power cable, the connection is clean and easy, saving valuable USB ports. My only complaint is…

I've been using this display for over a year now and overall it works well. However, a few months after I received it, the touchport broke. After contacting Eviciv I was told I could return it, re-solder it myself or just leave it; The power connector can also be used for the touch screen. I chose the latter option and it was fine until I used YouTube while powering the display from my Raspberry Pi 4's USB port, which caused the display to lose power. Recently, the display also dims if the…

I like it. I've been using this for the screen with a Raspberry Pi 4 for 2 1/2 years and it works really well. Being able to mount the Pi on the back of the display is handy to create a single wearable device. The display also comes with a good set of cables. Eviciv tech support was quick to respond to my question about the touch functionality issue - turns out I was just using the microUSB cable for power. They offered to send replacements. FYI, for mobile use: The display draws about 400mA at

It's a sharp little screen. Small things I would hardly fault - the directions were not very good. There were multiple cable options (included, which was cool, but I had to go to YouTube to find out how to connect the ribbon cable. The mini-HDMI was too narrow to use if you mount the raspberry from the back , so I had to sort out the cable that has a little latch in it. I realize I probably should know this, but it wouldn't be long before I newcomers slapped a dummy sheet in for us newbies…

I'm tired of connecting my Raspberry Pi to the same monitor as my desktop. I also wanted something small and portable. How fun would it be to use on the go!? Well, after browsing Revain for a while and reading reviews, I settled on this monitor. This is a great addition! The instructions are simple and easy to follow. Installation took about 5 minutes after I got all the parts laid out to work. Now my Raspberry Pi is reassembled and all I need is a power supply to get it working. The monitor is

Pros: Connectivity. GPIO, PCC HDMI, USB to Molex for touch screen + power supply, HDMI, MicroUSB (USBC is better.) Touch screen. Works very well. Cons: Dead pixels. Two weeks have passed and I have three dead pixels. Rough, especially for a multi-pixel display. Power. A bit noisy and crackling at startup. This is the case with any type of power supply. Bad display quality. Simply the worst IPS I have ever seen. It appears to be edge lighting, which is very poorly done - all sorts of highlights…

When I first got this screen I really liked it. With all the extra cables to cover the connections needed for my RPi4b (and a few more I don't need) it worked great, with great colors, brightness and touchscreen response. I had legs, Pi assembled and everything connected in 20 minutes. (If you are familiar with the types of cable connections, this should be easy for you). I set this up using Octopi to send print jobs to my 3D printer. Some resolution settings had to be manually adjusted on the…

I originally wrote a review describing an issue with a screen that looked a little "used" and had superficial scratches on some areas of the screen (but the picture quality was unaffected as far as I can tell). The seller came forward and offered a partial refund or a new product because they wanted to make up for my bad experience, which was very nice of them; They also said that Revain would mark returned monitors as new unless they had obvious damage, which is why mine may have looked used…

REVIEW UPDATE: After my initial review, EVICIV contacted me to help resolve the situation! First they refunded my original purchase. They then also sent a new larger screen as a replacement (https://amazon.com/EVICIV-Raspberry-Touchscreen-Display-Housing/dp/B08L6J42VM/ref=sr_1_3). The new updated screen is much better than the original screen. what i got It has a much sharper image and is extremely responsive. The Raspberry Pi is completely enclosed in a built-in case on the back of the screen.

This is probably the best pixel value micro monitor I've seen on the market. With other brands, you pay more for a lower pixel density. This is a really high quality display that can be placed on a desktop next to the main monitor to monitor 3rd party applications and works well as a standalone display for a headless PC, Mac or Raspberry Pi. -Higher resolution given the size, which is somewhere between a Kindle and a large cell phone. -Super compact for assemblies that can be hidden away or on…

I have used several different touch screens which added to the overall experience as well as the enjoyment of using each device. This is my current favorite as it is well built overall. It also comes with a nice pack of items in the kit/box. All of the cables and items added appear to be of good quality, and it's often a good sign that a company cares enough to provide good peripherals like cables and accessories that work with a given device. I like the quick response of the touchscreen and…

This is my second 7" touchscreen from Eviciv. The first one was damaged through my own negligence. Eviciv's customer support is second to none compared to other companies I have encountered. They replaced my original purchase even after the grace period expired with no hassle Questions have been asked. If you're looking for a company that lives up to their word, you've found it! Edit - Original Review: I bought this 7" touchscreen to pair with my Raspberry Pi 4. Love the portability and freedom

So I was wrong. At first I thought this would be a problematic purchase. I've had the chance to use the display over the past few days (and even got a second Pi 4 and power supply included as a dedicated companion for it), and I'm computer savvy enough to admit my first impression was lopsided. Mile. This is exactly what I was looking for. The extra flex and power cables were a nice touch when it came to mounting this new Pi board, and the two metal stands that are included are sturdy and easy…

The touchscreen works great with the Raspberry Pi 4. Several cables are included for different configurations. Everything worked fine for a couple of months of intermittent use, but turning on the device once something weird happened and then the screen kept rotating vertically and horizontally (but touch input didn't work). I reported this to the tech support email address and received a helpful response in less than 24 hours. The support team is located in Asia and there is a slight language…
