Fantastic Display! Great Build Quality Too! Works with MacOS (with a script)
I've been in the market for a "mini display" for some time now. When I saw this unit, I decided to take a chance. I'm so glad i did! The screen feels well made, with a nice metal enclosure and strong kickstand. The ports feel nice and snug as well. The thing that really impressed me most of all was the quality of the display image itself. It's fantastic! I use it to stream videos and have messaging apps open while working on my 2 primary monitors. Given it's small size, this unit is very easy to transport too! For Windows users, just plug the device in. As long as you are connected to the internet the first time you do, the computer will automatically configure the display perfectly. For MacOS, it's tricky. I spent the better part of a day figuring out exactly what to do to make this work. Apple doesn't allow you to pick RGB output mode easily, so it appears pinkish at first. If this happens to you after initially plugging it in, do the following: To fix, simply run the following script: https://github.com/mlch911/one-key-hidpi Then select option 4: LG Display, and then option 3: Manual input resolution. then provide the resolution of 480 x1920. The script will insert an EDID override for this monitor into your MacOS Display override folder. Then just restart the mac and you are good to go! If you are still encountering any video issues, try using a different port. I ended up using an HDMI to USB-C cable for this unit and it works great. HDMI to HDMI did not. Youll only need to run this script *once*. Afterwords, the settings are saved and the monitor will be good to go. For me, this monitor is worth it. The quality of the item warrants the price the seller is charging, especially for the display quality. You really are getting your money's worth here. For those that want to know, the display mount I used is an AboveTEK Gooseneck Holder. It can be found on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X8C39J6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Looked Promising, but Wasn't
So I bought this product after watching an awesome YouTube review (won't name the channel). The time spent trying to get this to work was not worth the 4hrs. Not once did the screen turn on. It was not entirely not working, it did trigger alerts when I would plug and unplug into my PC. I do not recommend and the packaging was probably not secure enough which could be the reason the screen never turned on. Returning MOnday.

Solid Little Monitor
This is a great supplementary monitor for display system specs or adding a bit of flair to your custom builds. The screen quality is great, and the bezel/frame is solid and mostly metal (I assume aluminum). This specific model can be found on various sites like AliExpress, in other bezel colors... While not worth knocking a star, it'd be nice if this seller offered the other color bezels/frames. Other than that, it's excellent. At the time of purchase and writing, the seller's descriptions states that HDMI/USB cables shown in examples "are not included". This is misleading, and resulted in me spending money to buy some cables... There are indeed HDMI and USB cables included in the box. I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for that bit of confusion. A "what's in the box" section would be a common-sense addition to the product details page.

Fantastic.
I'm using this as a sensor panel to mount below my main monitor. It's so easy to check on how my system is performing with a simple glance down. The quality feels amazing, except the cables(which was a surprise to receive since they aren't supposed to be included), but that's an easy fix. The stand and housing feel really solid. The image quality is exactly what you'd expect for something in this size and price range. I am extremely satisfied with this product!

Perfect for Monitoring your PC health with out taking up space on big Screen
Love these little screens this was a very reasonable price. 1920x480 Sensor panels will work on this screen, I am using Aida64. This panel has a frame so you can put it on the desk or anywhere external to the computer not really for mounting inside the case but you could do that. the Only drawback on this is the HDMI ports are on the side so your cables stick out but you can get Offset 90 cables then it fits fine.

Vendor Mislabeled Item Features
Product was labeled as touchscreen in item description. Contacted vendor who sated that model was not touchscreen. Was told i could return item and purchase again for a different price. They offered me a 5% discount on a future purchase. Really!? For the product that I did receive, it works fine, but not what I wanted.

Nice monitor for displaying my PC's Stats.
I'm using this with Aida64 to monitor my system specs. Easy to set up. Pic attached. Cables are a bit short.

Great but, has fatal flaw
I received this today, plugged it into my RTX 3070's HDMI port, plugged HDMI into this device with a nice click, then plugged in the USB then the USB-C into the device and no click. It works, and it's doing precisely what I intended it for. However, if I simply touch the power cable it'll lose power because the USB-C is not secure in the slot. It's just barely sitting in there and any touching of the cable causes it to move and lose power. I really hope this is just a problem with mine and not an entire design flaw. Hopefully the manufacturer will have a solution.

Well I have tried a few displays in the past but this is by far the best one. The image is nice and crisp and I can see everything clear that I want to see. Would have been nice to have the power lead and the hdmi on the back but that's easily sorted with a right angle set of leads. A must have if your a tech geek and like keeping track of what's going on in the background.
