Very good mini-screen for a great value for money

I was looking for a mini-screen for my Raspberry Pi to use my Pi on the go can. My requirements were a good price, AV connectivity and less possible power consumption. Since this TFT fulfilled all my requirements, I ordered it.

Packaging, shipping and delivery
The screen is safely packed and the delivery was very fast. It comes with the screen, a Mains lead (on one side it is stripped to make it to solder) and a small flyer. The screen is high quality and comes with a bubble-free-glued protector. The Mains lead is very long (1-2 m) and allows you to set up the screen in different places.

Up & Connectivity
The screen has an AV input, so you can screen in many devices (eg. DVD player, etc.) are running. The only thing still needed is an AV cable, because that is not included (in this price can not be expected). I have my TFT simply connected to the composite output of the Pi's, does it look easy. The screen has an adhesive surface on the base, since it is geared for use in cars. But this is also very useful if you want to fix the screen, for example on the wall. On the back of the housing a key for the menu and + and - key installed. The "menu" essentially corresponds to only one setting for the brightness, color, contrast and aspect ratio (16: 9, 4: 3). However, this is perfectly sufficient for what one wants to adjust already great with a mini-screen.

I resoldered the monitor to 5 V (using one of the many instructions from the Internet), so I can run de monitor the USB port and need no extra power adapter. Through the software is easy to implement for a beginner, but who has never been soldered and only very limited knowledge of electronics has, I recommend to look for a monitor that needs only 5V.

And now to the picture: The picture is for this price range one of the best I've seen. Clear the device does not serve up an HD monitor for 200, but for a quick look or for mobile working he is sufficient. However, it is advisable to put in small letters (under Windows) the font size higher, since he. An iPhone screen dissolves relatively coarse compared to, for example, but also is not a miracle for this price range. After the raising of font size (and eventual dissolution adapt) everything can be read well. Even the X server (graphical user interface to open, from the terminal with the command "startx" (without the "")) can be adequately represented, but it is recommended that if you work a lot with the graphical interface, a higher resolution Monitor buying.
In good and all the image is perfectly adequate for a quick look or mobile working. Who wants to work several hours a day with the screen, which is not recommended for this Bildsxhirm since he be a bit much for the coarse resolution easily after a while your eyes.

Couple that with the Pi worked perfectly, I just had to connect the AV cable to the Pi. The image immediately appeared and I had nothing left to set.

Faszit:
For this price you get a very good monitor with a fantastic price-performance ratio, which short for a glance or mobile working is more than enough.

I would buy the monitor again - especially at this price.
