HDCP support? Not really.

Does not work when using video services. Netflix, Hulu, HBO, everything like that creates white noise on the screen. This also applies if you have a multiple monitor configuration. So if you play the video on a different monitor, it's still white noise. The PC claims to be HDCP compliant, but it isn't.

Great screen for Raspberry PI projects

Great low profile screen for building Raspberry Pi projects. Colors are vibrant and images are crisp despite the relatively low resolution. The touchscreen seems responsive when connected to a desktop computer, although I haven't tested it with the RPi yet.

It looked cool. But does not work with Windows 11.

The product seems good, but it is not compatible with my operating system. I contacted the seller and we fixed the problem. Make sure the power is connected to the brick and not the machine with the correct resolution of 800*600 and finally find out that I'm using Windows 11 and that's why it doesn't work. I suspect it works fine on Windows 10.

Works for a second, then fuzzy! Stay away!

the goods arrived quickly. well packed. Everything is good. After connecting the HDMI and USB cables and turning on the power, the display shows an image for one second and then the screen goes gray. Used other cables and it still doesn't work. Revain sent a replacement and the same thing happened. Don't buy this. Choose something else. You will not regret it.

Nice bare bones ad

Use it for my amateur radio kit. Remember that the back of the device is open, so use a case to avoid shorting the components. Comes with a small stand that suits me. For ham I use this for Winlink VARA screens and I have excellent video quality.

Really good monitor

This is one of the best monitors I've used for my Raspberry Pi. The color is right, the form factor is nice, it comes with a bunch of cables and a stand. Highly recommended!

Works great with Raspberry PI - not so well with regular PCs

It's a crisp, high-quality screen that works seamlessly when connected to my Raspberry Pi; However, despite the specs on the box, I have never been able to view my Windows desktop or Linux desktop when connected to my PCs. I also couldn't get it to work when I connected to the motherboard's VGA port (using a VGA-to-HDMI adapter). I was hoping to use this display on my server which only has a VGA port (no graphics card) but unfortunately no luck.

works for some things.

Only works upside down

The screen only comes up when I hold it to the ground. If I spin it too fast it turns off. if i turn it around it starts again. Sometimes I can trick it by slowly flipping it over. The screen looks good when it feels cooperative. it would be great if it worked.

No photo - my new review

I bought the product on March 4, 2022. It is March 19, 2022 and the product no longer displays the image, it flashes on and off without displaying anything. I never move it, I've never dropped it, it just doesn't work right anymore. If you want to throw your money away, work 3 hours to earn at work. With this product you lose time and money.

Works perfectly and looks great!

Use this as a secondary screen for a server rack. Looks great and works. I'm thinking of a second one for my PC case. Its response time is fast, making it ideal for gaming and other fast-paced activities..

have 2 devices, both have no signal / blurry screen with white noise

have 2 devices, both have no signal / blurry screen with white noise. The second worked for a few seconds before it stopped working. Very unreliable screen. I would stay away from these.

Unreadable in my review.

It displays something, but the resolution and display quality are so poor that the screen is unreadable for my intended applications. I need an emergency terminal so I can use my Raspberry Pi when SSH isn't available. Unfortunately, the picture quality on this screen is not high enough to display legible text in a decent font size. Text"blurry".

  • Poor color accuracy

I must have overlooked the lack of a case on this monitor as I was shocked to open the back with no circuit board. Otherwise, grab for a small, low-resolution screen when it's on sale. It never hurts to have him around. Also for rPi builders - this will fit your (non-touch) needs.

Actually 800x600

I have this small screen on sale and am happy with it. However, when I got it, it confused me and found that the screen resolution is actually 800x600 when advertised as 800x480. Not bad in my eyes.

The device has no back.

Nice, but you have to design the bracket and/or the back cover. Not what I thought. Can be handy when creating a project. That's my review!

  • Limited screen size options

It doesn't work when streaming. Nothing I've found can fix this. Netflix music will do no such thing. YouTube and browser video players work. If you're looking for something to watch shows in lieu of a second monitor, look elsewhere. If you're looking for something to monitor conflicts, this works great. Any streaming service on screen becomes a static service. Mind you... I think they should say it on the page above.

Works when it wants

It's been a little over a month for me and unfortunately the return period has expired. Would be more than happy to get a refund as I don't want to work consistently. Sometimes I get no signal, sometimes it works for a few seconds and then shows "static TV screen", sometimes it works but the picture only takes up the bottom 2/3 of the screen, sometimes it's ok. Don't use it because it's more frustrating than helpful.
