Eyoyo 8 Inch HDMI Monitor Small LCD Screen Mini Monitors 1024x768 4:3 TFT HD CCTV Security Display with Speakers HDMI VGA BNC AV YPbPr Input for Computer PC Laptop RasPi Camera

In a world of monitors the size of a bedsheet, it's easy to overlook that sometimes small tasks call for small monitors.This is not a primary monitor for a thousand column spreadsheet or a CAD modeler. It's great for passive monitoring like status indicators for a build or for carrying to setup servers that will spend most of their lives without a monitor.My favorite feature of the Eyoyo is that it has every video input that matters. HDMI is there, of course. but it also decodes the older analog input from RCA jacks or a VGA DB-15 connector. If you're hooking up a "classic" gaming console or tiny computer (Original Pi, the C.H.I.P, or even a video iPOD (cable not included) having that RCA composite video input is super handy. It also supports HDMI, which provides sound and video on the contemporary connector. You can leave all the video connections plugged in and switch between them via the on-screen display.The unit is small enough to keep in your bag of tricks if you're having to enter the pre-boot environment, such as BIOS for a server upgrade or backup recovery for a normally headless system.Text was clear and bright.As a bonus, there is a 5V/1A USB output for power. This is useful for things like an LED "ring' light (not for the camera itself), powering Single Board Computers, or powering network gear. This is a power-ONLY USB-A.I could never really get the aspect ratio right when testing on my iMac. I think that MacOS just hasn't had to support 4:3 in so long that it just doesn't. Honestly, that's a bit of a silly combination and I didn't research it much. This monitor Just Worked in high resolutions on all the tiny computers (CHIP, Pi, Pi Zero, old desktop Linux, UNIX systems, game boxes and more. Text mode, though tiny, worked as well as all the respective GUI environments.It does come with a bracket that's probably best mounted to a wall. The wires at the bottom edge can be a bit crowded when the cables have to exit and them make a right turn to miss the desk.In all, I appreciate the size because I share it between several systems that are USUALLY network connected. Picture quality was good and the variety of hardware connections is handy for a gadgeteer.

This small, 8" monitor fills the bill for uses where you want a small monitor. You could use it for security applications, with either BNC or RCA composite input, or for monitoring video that you're streaming or previewing when you don't want a big monitor (HDMI or VGA). If you just wanted a small monitor rather than watching a bigger screen, say on an airplane, or lying around in bed or on the couch, hook it up with the HDMI. I tested all of the inputs. The only one I couldn't figure out was the component (YPbPr). If I get that figured out, I'll update the posting. I don't think it's that important, because, why bother? To get the aspect ratio right, be sure to set the device resolution to 1024 x 768, otherwise the picture is a bit more square (width compressed). Playing back a DVD, the picture was that way also. You probably could set your DVD player to the correct aspect ratio, but I didn't have the patience, and I mean watching a DVD on an 8" monitor, who cares if it's a bit narrow. The monitor can also be set to 800 x 600. The manual lists 640 x 380, but I didn't try that. It also has two mounting methods, a "butterfly bracket" and a "crescent bracket." It says both are optional, but mine came with the butterfly. The threaded holes on the back appear to be VESA standard 75mm spacing, however the butterfly mount doesn't match those and instead comes with a matching foam pad with double-sided adhesive. The mount has a tripod head type of attachment (see picture). PS: It played back video from a VCR perfectly :), but then who's going to do that? Maybe if you're archiving your videos and want a small monitor.

I have a PC and a Macintosh that share a monitor and input devices through a KVM switch. I purchased this little monitor as a secondary display on my Windows PC, to display photo slideshows and my iTunes song data while the main monitor is displaying my Mac desktop. The Eyoyo doesn't have a great deal of contrast. Even at the the extreme limits of the brightness and contrast settings, it's a bit dull and washed out, but given my intended use that really doesn't concern me. I did try both the VGA and the HDMI connections and they both worked instantly and flawlessly. This is definitely cheaply made: the OSD and control buttons are terribly unintuitive, and the thin sheetmetal base is flimsy and crude. It comes with a double-sided adhesive pad. To protect my desk, I stuck some little stick-on silicone feet on the edges instead. I quickly discovered that I had to put another foot in the center to keep the whole thing stable and prevent the bracket from bending. Given the footprint and extremely low cost of the monitor, the overall performance is more than adequate, as long as you intend a suitable use for it.
