fast delivery good product

I'm using this for AIDA64 on Win11 with an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060 Ti. The screen is nice and clear, and does appear to be IPS as advertised because I can see it clearly from every angle. You will want angle adapters because the connectors are on the side. I don't use this in my case which is a big case off to the side that I never look at. Instead I just have this on my desk under my monitors. Works great. As far as the brightness control, you don't "spin" it like another reviewer said. You click it and it cycles through the brightness levels. It, too, works fine. Would buy again.

Tested to make sure it functioned as soon as it arrived, which it did, but never fully used it until I made a bracket for it about 2 months later. After about an hour and a half of continuous use, screen went totally black. While troubleshooting, nothing was working so I decided to open the case and was greeted with a strong burnt smell, looked at the circuit board and lo and behold, fried board components.

This thing works great, looks great and does exactly what I wanted, a monitor for watching things in real-time. However, anyone that looks at this and goes oh, I want that. Let me tell you what you need to do to get this. First you'll need aida64. You'll need a license for it as the trial expires in like 30 days. Then youll need a sensor panel template. You can find some on the aida64 forum or you can purchase one on Etsy for a few bucks. Thats the easy part. Now, you'll need some kind of image editor/resizer. Because very few templates are 1280 x 400. Photoshop is the easiest. From there you'll make your background then put it into aida64 and then youll need to resize all the items from the template to fit into your background. Theres a bit of a learning curve with it, it took me around 4 hours with absolutely no idea what I was doing to what you see here. Im very happy with the results. It sounds daunting but its not as bad as it sounds. There are youtube videos with how to make custom templates as well, maybe check those out first. All and all im very happy with this screen and will be buying 3 more for the rest of the builds in the family.

First into my computer case nicely—the packaging is a little sus and micro HDMI is kind of a pain but I suppose it is easier to deal with than a full size port. The brightness is somewhat lackluster but sufficient for me for a dark room, would Not recommend for a main display thing.
