Connectivity includes HDMI and USB Type-C, with one USB 3.0 port. Compatible with desktops, laptops, and smartphones. Priced at $129.70.
Our take
I was intrigued by the idea of a compact touch monitor for my Raspberry Pi projects. The 8-inch IPS panel delivers decent colors with a 178-degree viewing angle, and the 2ms response time is surprisingly snappy for the price. Setup was straightforward via HDMI or USB-C, and touch responsiveness works well for basic interactions. However, the 60Hz refresh rate is limiting for gaming, and the resolution at 1280x800 feels cramped for desktop use. The matte finish helps reduce glare, but the 1000:1 contrast ratio means blacks are okay, not deep. For $129.70, it's a niche tool—great for portable projects, but not a daily driver.
