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

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…

Color isn't adjustable, so everything from email to websites is disabled. Works fine except the color is off. I will be replacing the monitor with a better one as I need color for some of the reports I use. This was purchased for my home office as a second screen and I had already purchased a replacement as color/brightness was an issue for my needs but the company sent me a larger screen that allows for color/brightness adjustment and it works great. Highly recommended, if only for the reason…

I needed a VGA monitor that would fit in a 16 inch square. This monitor does. This is my side screen where I open emails and other non-essential documents so they don't take up space on the main screen. This monitor allows me to do that. I had to set the brightness to 0 and the contrast and still can't see the lines Excel puts around the cells but I can see the information. However, I feel like what I paid wasn't too bad for what it does.

First, there are NO instructions! If, like me, you need reading glasses, you need a magnifying glass. Even then, the instructions "still" suck! The so-called instructions are missing details! I press the button and get into the settings. Next time I press the same button, I get something completely different. However, if you're using it for a legacy gaming system that doesn't require an HD TV/display, then it's ideal. Looks great with my Commodore 64 and frees up desk space.

The screen, resolution modes (Windows 10 Pro), and display settings buttons worked fine, but the built-in speakers played no sound from the line-in. I guessed it was only for OUTPUT for sound from an incoming HDMI signal, which I don't need (I can only use 1 other HDMI port on my motherboard, the other one has to be VGA). Cable and with HDMI. I really need a VGA monitor with built in speakers that works. :( I need to be able to get sound from a VGA + line-in cable! The sound quality from the…

This monitor is perfect for what we need; that's basically square. The only issue I had was that we had to remove the old cable with the screw and use ONLY the HDMI cable instead. It's been a long time since I bought the monitor, so when I opened the box the only thing I couldn't understand was the use of HDMI. my fault I can only recommend this monitor!

Nice monitor. It would be better if the height was adjustable. Just looking to get a small one to expand my current monitor. But not enough space on the table. I tried. Actually not bad.

I've had it for a few days now and off the bat I'll say this is a decent monitor so far. The black level is pretty good. Conclusion: A good buy for the money. There are some downsides, but to be honest, none of them reach the buy/don't level. just. The built-in auto-calibration process was very inaccurate, causing white to appear paler blue than white. After using the Windows color calibration process for the first time and then manually adjusting the monitor color, I was satisfied with a…

It does its job well, with good image quality. Definitely worth the money, I recommend for security systems, gaming and family computers.

The connections are not secure. Any slight movement of the cables will turn off the monitor. Very disappointed. That's my feedback!

This is a good monitor for the price but I can't find the warranty on this monitor. Since mine died, I bought it on November 23, 2021.

I love this monitor. Image quality matches the price. I use them for two monitors and they work fine. I would buy this again.

Unfortunately came with a broken LED panel causing a long white bar on the screen and a few other flashing bars. I just needed something simple for stable display and sound and it was sad that such a result was achieved.

The packaging was smaller than I expected but the monitor arrived safe and sound. I connected it to my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 and it worked great. I actually had to adjust the display settings to share monitors and make my larger monitor the primary (I use the 17" screen for research/walking). Great LCD panel replacement with pixel rot and more energy efficient!

If you are looking for a cheap gaming monitor then this product is not for you. Still, it's a great productivity monitor that you can take almost anywhere. I need more screen real estate for my work, so this helped me a lot to get more work done on my tiny 13 inch laptop. If, like me, you only have USB-C ports, you'll need a USB-C to HDMI converter. All in all a great inexpensive monitor.

This monitor is amazing. The only things it lacks are audio/video inputs and a matte screen. I haven't checked if it supports 15kHz yet, but other than that it works great as a retro monitor.

This monitor is more suitable as a second monitor in the office. 17 inch and 4:3 might be better for viewing some data and reading documents/Excel. I recommend this monitor for some people who work in office.

This monitor was perfect for my home office. The base was easily assembled with 3 simple screws. The included HDMI cable was a nice surprise that made connecting to my laptop so easy. After plugging in the monitor and connecting it with the HDMI cable, it was immediately recognized by my laptop and I started working. The screen is a good size, the picture is clear.

I have pricier monitors but this is a good screen for tasks at a great price. If it fails, it's cheap enough to just replace.

I ordered a monitor which I received but it was defective, I replaced it and the replacement was also defective. That's my review!
