“I know you want me to gush about my new monitor, and its really cool. It looks good with my new 500 keyboard computer. But, I really want to brag about Pimoroni. I live about 5000 miles west of your store, yet it only took 3 days for the monitor to get here. It was even delivered a few hours ahead of schedule. Wow! that was fast! If I'd ordered it from Amazon (right here in California) it would have taken a week or more, depending whether they had one in local stock.”
“Like the screen, being white/red it pairs optically best with a Pi 400 on a clean desktop. Good size and crisp resolution. Personally I reckon it could have had at least 2 HDMI inputs with a hardware source selection button, to enable multiple gui access to running systems/projects (I often run 2 OS languages). Not sure the port location/access is the best designed.
Disappointed with the sound quality. Running it using its own power supply. Sometimes with 500, Pi 5, and Pi 400. Regardless of device the sound is not very useful. As in, if you eat crisps you won't hear a video dialog if they mutter. Not sure if I got a duff unit. The sound with dedicated power supply seems bearly louder than supplying from usb device.
That said I will be getting another in the near future to set up a dual screen setup. Probably have to run a sound bar of some sort for quality sound.”
“Very good small portable monitor. Picture is nice and crisp, the stand on back works just fine. Overall, the price vs performance for this one is superb, definetelly recommended.”
“Small, light and does it's job as a convenient HDMI monitor for the Pi4. I'm using it for programming so I haven't pushed the graphics on it, but things in the web browser display fine, including my images on Flickr.
Well packaged for delivery too.”
“I didn't really need one but now I have it, I would not be without one.
It's just so portable and useful. 2nd monitor for my macbook - tick, Deving on my pi away from my office - tick, big screen for Nintendo Switch - tick. And all while running from a USB power port on the device it's connected to. Sure, the brightness doesnt go all the way up in that mode but it still looks great to me.
Crisp image, lightweight, portable, well designed and reasonable price. A winner in my book!”
“Paired beautifully with the Pi500 ask my workshop system. A quick custom 3D printed VESA bracket allows me to now hang it from the shelf saving space.”
