Review: Really Good the 2nd Time I ordered It. - First time I ordered this product it showed up 3 days late, but there was no product in the package. It was empty. I got a refund and took a chance and ordered again. I received the LCD in good shape although I'm not impressed with the packaging. The screen itself is brilliant and very simple to setup and use. Waveshare has other screens that I'll probably order in the near future. Very good quality screen. I'm glad it worked out for me.
Review: Exactly as described! Small and usable screen! - This little monitor was one of the better purchases I made. I have tried a couple other mini monitors (not all through desertcart) for various projects. But for my Aliens themed PC build, it did exactly what it says it does. Connected this via an HMDI cable to my Windows10 Pro Aliens PC I was building to give it the intended look, and it was plug and play. Used a mini USB to USB-A cable to provide power (via an internal USB port) and it worked well. If future projects arise, I would have no problem using this brand/size of mini monitor again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can It be used as a Ips display for pc temperature monitor?**
A: yes it can.

**Q: Still waiting for support 48h after my first message. it doesn't work (mac or rpi4). tried all the instructions on wiki. what do i do? return it?**
A: Dear Customer,
Which email did you contact? It seems that we didn't receive  email from you. Could you send an email for us on Amazon now? I will reply you right now. It will be better if you could send some images about the hardware connection. Our engineer team will help you to resolve the product problem.

**Q: Can the controller board be removed from the back and re-attached with a ribbon cable that way the display can lie flat on my project?**
A: Seller answer is only HALF true.

The PCB board requires *two* ribbon cables.  One is a simple standard ribbon cable found on all these LCD screens.  The other is a specialized cable that has ICs on it and CANNOT BE EXTENDED.

**Q: When connected to a pi 3 or pi 4, does the pi power the display or does both the pi and the display need their own power supply?**
A: The screen is powered by what they list as the "touch port" in the photos. So if you plug the pi 4b usb port into the touch port on the screen, it will receive power using the Raspberry pi's power. I would suggest using an official Raspberry Pi power adapter, or at least one with higher than a 2.5a power rating. If you do not want to use the touch screen, then I believe you would have to have a separate power adapter to power the screen independantly. I have tested this on a RPi 4B.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly as described! Small and usable screen!

This little monitor was one of the better purchases I made. I have tried a couple other mini monitors (not all through Amazon) for various projects. But for my Aliens themed PC build, it did exactly what it says it does.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If only it could be mounted
*by I***. on November 3, 2025*

Cool little screen, really appreciate the connectors it came with and was super easy to get up and running. I just wish some of the thought that went into the connection configurations was put into mounting hardware. If you want to mount this screen you'll need to get creative since there is a very narrow front bezel, and no consistent back surface for surface mounting.
