I have a headless server I run out of my utility closet that typically SSH into from my main PC, laptop or tablet. But sometimes need to diagnose or repurpose it and in the past have had to take a monitor off my PC (on a stand arm), attach it to the base stand it came with and lug it over to the server to connect to.This small screen has saved me so much time and headache! There's been times where I just wouldn't diagnose the server and keep it offline for weeks at a time just to avoid lugging one of my monitors over to it! Now if I need to diagnose the server or repurpose it, this screen is just ready to go! I leave it attached 24/7 now and just have it displaying some basic logs.Absolutely recommend for any headless system you have for your homelab. Cause you never know when you're accidentally going to brick the config and can no longer SSH in.

I bought this monitor, plugged in it and no matter what i do it continues to say no signal. there is no manuals to help and literally nothing online to troubleshoot. DO NOT BUY. biggest waste of money. I am returning it not even 24 hours after receiving it.

Honestly no bad at all for the price. It is not exactly what I would call a gaming monitor quality, but what can you expect from a screen this size. I plugged it into my PC with a Asus Tuf 3090 and it justed worked right out of the bat, even changed the resolution all the way up to 4k (obviously a monitor this size is not going to output 4k natively) but it still gave an image. In my picture it is actually on 720p still it works.Only cons I can see which is not a deal breaker since this thing will live inside of my PC case as a status monitor once I get a 90° HDMI adapter, is that: 1-The screen is a complete finger print magnet, as soon as you take the peel off and start touching it, you will get finger smudges everywhere 2- This screen scratches really easy, even the stand which is really nice and simple, does not have any sharp edges and is made of a plastic that is not very hard, but by accident I knocked it and it fell face down quite softly but still it got a tiny scratch with the stand, just make sure to clean it very softly or put a screen protector on it if you are going to use it outside of a PC case

A superb value under 40 dollars. You get the display, micro USB cables, and a reasonable sized hdmi cable in a well organized and protected package... The cable itself is worth a few bucks. The image quality is superb and can serve very well as a media player or secondary display. I use it as a way to view Kodi off a raspberry pi. I ended up 3d printing a clear case as it it is very fragile without one.... Once mounted it looks like an upscale project, that will call attention to itself.... Lots of ohhs and ahhs were heard. The image is clear has adequate brightness and no dead pixels, and great viewing angles. It is not full 1080p HD, but at 7 inches from a few feet away are you really going to tell?.. This is a great addon of makers who want to add a clear display to their project. For a display 7 inch is the largest I would go for portability sake. What I didn't like is that it has no audio passthrough, runs off a micro USB, and without proper care can break very soon... I recommend anyone buy, or fabricate a case for it immediately. Pretty impressed with it's value.

This display is good but the stand is not excellent. The monitor itself comes as a bare PCB (powered by micro USB) with no case or anything, the stand is just a plastic V-shaped phone holder designed to hold the screen at varying degrees of tilt. It gets the job done and is somewhat clear IF set up correctly (see below).The displays resolution is 800 by 480, but the driver for the display does not display that, so when plugged in almost everything will detect it as being 800 by 600. This will usually fill in the entire screen area with no black space, BUT you'll see the screen is horizontally stretched quite a bit and somewhat blurry.To fix this, you must be familiar with whatever devices graphics driver you are plugging this screen into and set a custom resolution.For NVIDIA GPU Users:1) Right click the desktop2) Go to change resolution3) Find the monitor labeled "HETECH" and click "Customize" under Resolution4) Click Create Custom Resolution5) Under Display Mode, set Horizontal Pixels to 800 and Vertical Lines to 4806) Under Timing, set to "CVT Reduced Blank"7) Hit Test, then Keep these settings8) Go back under resolutions and choose the top option now which should be your custom resolutionIt should be somewhat similar for AMD GPUs but I do not know the exact steps.For computers that do not have a GPU, you can also set up custom resolutions through Intel Settings or AMD Radeon Graphics settings (both should be accessible by right clicking on the desktop).I can also confirm that this display DOES NOT WORK WITH HULU, NETFLIX, ETC as others have mentioned. Tested this and the screen displayed something akin to TV static, even though I was watching the content on another screen. After closing the tab displaying the content, the screen immediately went back to normal.TL;DRThis monitor does have vibrant enough colors, it is crisp enough, and honestly an excellent value for the price (I purchased two of these for $30 a piece, so hold out for a deal). You just have to know what to expect of the included stand and of setting up custom resolutions correctly in your operating system.
