WHOLEV 9 inch HDMI Monitor HD 1024 * 600 Color Screen CCTV Monitor Touch Button with AV/VGA/HDMI/Earphone Input for Raspberry Pi Home Security CCTV PC Display

Bought this for use with my Spectrum Next, TheC64 and A500 mini as well as Raspberry Pi. Lots of input options, HDMI, VGA, composite etc, has decent sound, remote control and good picture quality. Has VESA mounts on back and an adjustable stand that was a bit fiddly to fit, but I am very happy with it and it does the job perfectly.

Due to limited deskspace as I have a 3440x1440 display already and limited need but still a need for a second monitor, I figured I'd purchase this little monitor, I picked the rimless glass version and have applied my own anti-glare film to the display and it matches nicely. Much to my surprise the unit itself looks better in person than it does in the pictures. I have quite a bit of technical knowledge when it comes to monitors and graphics work so I put this little display through my usual litany of tests.::::[ SETUP ]::::Setup wasn't great to be honest, over HDMI it was detected as a 1024x600 display, and I could tell that it was not at native resolution. I created a custom resolution of 1280x800 using CVT, with a refresh rate of 72hz, which is exactly half that of my primary monitor at 144hz to avoid stuttering. I had to turn the display off and back on again and I could tell it was now displaying at the correct resolution for the panel and the image was sharp. The monitor accepts the signal and so I decided to see how far I could "overclock" the display, it seems to go to 75hz happily with no complaints but anything above that does not work, the usual tricks to squeez out a few more hz did nothing to allow it to go above 75hz. So yes, this display does overclock to 75hz, if you are using a 144hz display then you should set the refresh rate to 72hz, this will avoid any juddering issues Windows may have when using displays with differing refresh rates. There was no frameskipping at any refresh rate that worked.Next I also found that I had to set the colour mode to "limited" rather than full as the display was crushing blacks and whites, the panel is 8 Bit and once I set the colour to limited I found the display to be surprisingly accurate.::::[ DISPLAY ]::::The first thing I noticed was that the edges of the display "hid" behind the glass front unless looking directly at it from the front, A strange design flaw but on a panel this small and which will likely see use as a CCTV or secondary display it is not an issue, the display is set back from the glass by a few mm.The second thing I noticed was that sadly, this is a TN panel, and not an IPS panel as advertised, now it is a "good" TN panel in that it has wide viewing angles and due to it's size you don't see any colour shifting, so unless you know what you are looking for or are looking at it from extreme angles it's unlikely you'd notice, the LAGOM viewing angle test doesn't even give away that it is a TN panel.Colours are very uniform for such a display, even a dark grey (which usually reveals ant flaws in a display) background with flat colours being displayed surprisingly vibrant for such a display.Sadly there doesn't seem to be a way to actually control the backlight, with both brightness and contrast only affecting the image, without adjusting the backlight brightness, so values of 50 for Brightness, 50 for Contrast and 50 for Saturation will be the only "correct" or native values. There was also no way to control or adjust colours, meaning I'll have to do that from my graphics card drivers as I prefer a "warm" tone to my display.::::[ FINAL THOUGHTS ]::::For a second monitor, where desk space is limited or where you don't want too much 'screen' in your face at once this more than fits the bill. I personally use it for displaying reference images when working on 3D models and for E-Mail, Facebook or for watching movies "in the background" so I don't get distracted from what I am doing on my primary monitor. I did find the text to be a little small, in a perfect world I'd want to go from 10" to maybe 12 or 13" but I'm happy with my purchase.

I was very surprised by the picture quality. Looks great.I haven't watched a movie on it or anything, I've just needed it as a teleprompter (I don't want to use a tablet for that), and it looks great.Please note that the aspect ratio is a bit off (at least for the size that I chose), but this is also stated in the specifications, if you know what to look for.Sound is incredibly loud. Now I don't need sound, but if you do, trust me, you WILL be able to hear it (you can of course turn it down).The quality of the sound is of course lacking any real bass, but I feel like that is to be expected.Once again, not great for movies or for that matter, music. But if you just need to be able to hear the sound, then sure, it's very usable.For me it has been a great buy. Easy to use, clear picture, no trouble at all.If I break the one I have, I'll buy it again.

I bought this for astrophotography connected to a Raspberry Pi and camera. I had to wait for a clear evening to try it out so was several weeks before I set it up. When I started there was a double line vertically down the screen, halfway across. Despite trying everything to remove it, it seems like a quality control issue. Unfortunately too late to return it.

Really neat little monitor. Not too big , not too small, great picture and good sound.

Very neat little display that works well with Raspberry Pi's. Well packed and quick delivery. Caused some consternation while developing graphics as originally assumed the display was as advertised (and stated in the "manual"!) at 1024x600. After some head scratching I wrote a routine to display the actual resolution detected by the Pi and it returned 1280x720 at 60Hz. Pretty much a bargain at this price as it's not much more expensive than bare TFT's and this is a complete display with stand, cables and remote control. Unfortunately the stand does not appear to rotate left to right - you can tilt the display front to back or rotate it clockwise/anticlockwise.

Does exactly what is described from seller. Only 4 stars as the back mounted plate for stand to connect to is really tight. I wouldn’t force it in, so take that little more time to affix.
