I’ve got these things locally available in the $50-60 range. This being a generic brand, I imagine a buncha those are available globally. Anyone tried 'em, do they work OK with modern desktops (gnome, plasma)? Touch? DP-Alt or are they DisplayLink? Do they have PD?
Sellers are helpful nada, same with youtube videos, just marketing fluff.
Bought a 9 incher for server because I sucked at remoting in.
Fairly delicate but it was like 40 dollars. It is serviceable and serves the need. Am able to complete simple tasks via the touch screen. It kinda spazzes out with multi selecting/ touch but again 40 dollars.
Cords are fairly obtrusive but never bugged me. Solved by getting on that’s mini hdmi or c like the other poster mentioned.
Can turn it off with a little switch in the back which it’s mostly off. No issue on power up. Quicker than my dells honestly
I realize this is the dumbest setup but it works 🤷
I have used two of these - one that’s 1080p which I’ve used for years, and one that’s 1440p that broke after a short time (but that was my fault).
I don’t really use them as touch screens. I once tried with my then-work-Macbook, but it was mapped to the wrong screen, so I stopped. Since then I’ve been using it exclusively as a screen.
The colors aren’t perfect, but otherwise it’s absolutely acceptable quality - not much worse than a 5-10 year old monitor IMO. I’m driving it through Micro USB & HDMI. Be aware that somehow every couple weeks I have to continuously unplug and replug the HDMI for the monitor to recognize the signal, don’t know why.
This was probably not very helpful, sorry! If there are any specific tests you’d like me to do, I’ll gladly do them. I bought mine at a fair and have never found it online, so you won’t be able to buy it, but there’s probably much better ones available now.
I have this one from aliexpress with touch and I use it with cheap surface-like tablet (Chuwi HI10 MAX) and sometimes with Windows 10 desktop or Samsung Dex. It works with one usb-c cable or with mini-hdmi and power cable, colour rendering is acceptable, view angles are great. Unfortunately, although touch works great on desktop I can’t configure it to work on linux tablet. As far as I know, it’s impossible(?) to have two proper touch screens with Wayland.
I was looking into those but settled for Xreal AR glasses to use as a monitor, they aren’t amazing but good enough for the price + make it very portable and private
I also have the xreal glasses, they are great (as long as you keep your head still). I really enjoy them for playing games. Lots of people use them for movies and tons of other uses. It’s like having a huge OLED tv on the wall.
I have a couple different units. Both recommendable, sub $100 range. Magnetic flaps are handy for slapping them to sheet metal like case sides. One is a trifold, the other a bifold. They stack and sit side by side nicely in many arrangements. Usb-c power pass through lets you Daisy chain a single high current input, they’re pretty slick. I’ve had both of the screens and a gl.inet travel router on a single power feed Daisy chained in series, no issues. Oh man, touch screen though? Have no experience unfortunately.
My boss literally just handed me the one in you pic op. I guess the client didn’t like it.
I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet but I have a 10" one that is super useful especially if the computer does USBC video out
