Good monitor, wish the sound worked.

Followed the instructions to install the Raspberry Pi 4+ but couldn't get any sound out of the monitor. The system boots, Raspberian works, but there is no sound. Not from music files, not from games.

Great display for Raspberry PI 4

Works great with Rasberry PI 4, but PI installation is difficult due to cable stiffness. The board is difficult to install and you lose access to the SD card, the display is very good, the sound is ok. The included stand isn't very good, but overall I'm very happy with it

The screen I wanted

I bought it to use as a second screen for PC stats. It was easy to get up and walk right out of the box. It can be powered by USB power. It was exactly what I needed.

Nice little monitor

Use it as a monitor for a computer with an audio streaming puck. The ideal size after changing the view settings so that the fonts are big enough to be seen. Works without a power adapter and gets enough power from the USB and HDMI inputs. The price was right.

Works perfectly. in my rating

Small simple. Perfect for what I need. It even runs on USB power only, so I don't have to switch outlets. Of course, the main application I wanted to use this for has issues with touch screens. Pay.

Great device. Works perfectly.

This touch screen is perfect for what I need. I mainly use it when setting up a client monitoring system. Picture quality is clean and crisp, there's no video lag and there are actually built-in speakers for when I want to play my mini NES during lunch =).

Absolute rubbish. the best in my rating

First the speakers. They're of such terrible quality that you'll want to connect to external audio. The screen has a low resolution compared to other monitors in this price range. Low quality internal electronics. There is no reverse polarity protection on the 12V power input. Although it can accommodate your Raspberry Pi, it is not compatible with most coolers.

Decent picture quality

My son turned this into a little retro console by attaching one of his Raspberry Pis to the back, which was really cool. It's not a high-resolution screen, but he likes it because old games seem better to him. It doesn't have a touchscreen, but it's relatively cheap. He did it and got it up and running in less than an hour. All in all, this is a good budget Raspberry Pi monitor.

Great little screen

Worked as stated. Sharp screen but should have bought a bigger one. As it is, it works great. Don't double the pixel size! This selection pushes the selection buttons from the screen and there is no recovery!

The mini HDMI channel randomly disappears

I got this screen while trying to build a DIY Pi laptop and if it works properly it would be perfect for this. Unfortunately, when using it with a Raspberry Pi 4 with mini-HDMI, the image crops randomly for a second, then an HDMI settings rectangle appears on the screen as if it were about to load. I've tried everything to fix this, from switching to a new Raspberry Pi, changing /boot/config.txt with hdmi_safe=1 (HDMI safe mode), to using different operating systems and display settings. I even

Awesome monitors are the best in my rating

I am using monitors to display information provided by Raspberry for ham radio emergency communications. The displays are large enough to adequately display radio information. These stations are solar powered and the displays draw less than an amp at 12 volts. You are doing a great job!

Cheap micro HDMI cable connection

I've had an issue with this screen since I first tested it. The screen lost signal and reconnected every time. At first I thought it was the power connector, but when I opened it up and changed the HDMI cable, I found that the problem was with the cable.

Very good for the portable use of Raspberry Pi.

The screen was simple and light and easy to use. The only problem is I wish it was a little bigger but that was my choice. That's my feedback.

The camera cannot be mounted correctly

The screws on the back of the camera cannot be screwed in. I bought this monitor to have room for the camera but the screws don't fit so I can't attach the back cover for the camera. I had to use tape to secure the back of the camera.
