    Hey, i have been checking out this monitor but it comes with only 30 days warranty, seeing your video is now 4 months old is the screen still working as intended? Would you still recommend this screen?

    Dude it’s not working T_T help me out (no CD came in either, any help with that?) I have Win8

    Nice, I was looking for a second monitor for an alternative to Stream Deck with Touch Portal and found your video.. Thanks 🙂

    Hey, why does the touch function doesn’t work on the second screen?

  5. King LF5 on September 2, 2020 at 9:58 pm

    Looks like a Nintendo switch screen.

    looks like a randomfrankp inspired setup

    I found one of these on ebay for £20. I wanted to use it for YouTube/Twitch and gaming like while I am on my bed or travelling or as a secondary monitor maybe for PC temps. Is it okay to play some light games on it? Nothing too intense. Thinking of hooking it up to a controller for tablets.

    Awesome hands down. Thank you for posting this video. You sir have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work.

    Does the monitor go to sleep when your PC does? I have another 7 inch like this that displays "no input" when my computer goes to sleep or if my other monitors shut off in power saving mode while the computer continues to run.

    Mostly i use a ipad next to my monitor but a small second monitor is pritty cool

  12. zay on September 2, 2020 at 10:03 pm

    Not sure how soon you can reply to this if you even can, but i have purchased this little thing and its just not connecting. I have both the USB and HDMI plugged in and yet its just not showing up. Nothing seems wrong and there isn’t a ton of videos on this and am really just looking for some help.

  13. shinviroz on September 2, 2020 at 10:04 pm

    is it ok for gaming? aren’t the letters too small for 7 inch screen? thining about buying this for ps3 ps4

  14. lonbites on September 2, 2020 at 10:05 pm

    My gf steams on twitch and wanted a small monitor where she can watch her twitch and see if anyone comments on a little screen. Does anyone have this? Or know if this will work? For the price and size I’m considering it but was curious if this would work for what I’m looking for.

    how does the stream deck app work?

    Have you or has someone tried connecting a Samsung Galaxy phone for Samsung Dex or any other Android phone for Screen Mirroring on it ? Does it work ?

  17. Pizza on September 2, 2020 at 10:09 pm

    Congrats on getting in randomfrankp’s video!!!

  18. Mike R on September 2, 2020 at 10:10 pm

    Exactly what I was looking for! I game on an ultrawide on a tiny desk so I was looking for something small and cheap

  19. WofoGg on September 2, 2020 at 10:11 pm

    keyboard ref ?

  20. David Applebaum on September 2, 2020 at 10:13 pm

    When i look for random things on amazon and find an amazing video to go with it makes my day. Just ordered one thanks for the amazing video and great ideas

  21. ASPECT • on September 2, 2020 at 10:14 pm

    Does it support 60 fps?

  22. ryan on September 2, 2020 at 10:17 pm

    this is cool and all put your amazon link is clearly an affiliate link so im guessing your getting paid to make this review?

  23. Animes Fandubs Y Demás cosas on September 2, 2020 at 10:18 pm

    Nice, thanks, I bought a raspberry dunno what monitor and it0s not working well, will try out with this one, which seems different. The One I bought isn’t even black! X’D

  24. DRwarnclif on September 2, 2020 at 10:19 pm

    When not in use for say, an in game map, you could uss it as a stat screen!

  25. Jon Gandy on September 2, 2020 at 10:19 pm

    What mouse are you using?

  26. Gideon on September 2, 2020 at 10:19 pm

    Most definitely going to buy this as a third monitor so I can have a YouTube video playing on it. I usually like to have something like a stream playing in the background while I play, but I also enjoy having my second monitor for Discord chats.
    A tiny little third monitor hanging right below my secondary will be a lifesaver.
    I’ve also been wanting a drawing pad for my side for a while now cause damn am I shaky with a mouse lol, I feel like I have parkinsons everytime I do almost anything in Photoshop.
    This will help so damn much with creating maps and art for my D:OS2 Game master campaigns, and if this thing can double as it it’s a definite buy.
    Thank you so much.

    it seems as if someone stole your video, https://youtu.be/lQlhbDX3POY

  28. Techni Myoko on September 2, 2020 at 10:21 pm

  29. Harshit Yashwardhan on September 2, 2020 at 10:24 pm

  31. tuah cool on September 2, 2020 at 10:26 pm

    i think 7 inch is too small for gaming mmorpg

  32. Hand 365 on September 2, 2020 at 10:27 pm

    once i touch the screen my cursor will be hidden?

  33. derek rojas on September 2, 2020 at 10:29 pm

  34. wawan wawan on September 2, 2020 at 10:29 pm

  35. Just4Fun on September 2, 2020 at 10:31 pm

    How much does the 7inch display weigh (excluding packaging)? Thanks

  36. Nameless on September 2, 2020 at 10:32 pm

    Would I be able to use this as a camera monitor?

  37. Novoy on September 2, 2020 at 10:32 pm

    really nice montitor ! Ill buy it !

  38. Jay L on September 2, 2020 at 10:32 pm

    What cable do I need for the VGA input?

  39. TallBoy on September 2, 2020 at 10:34 pm

    Great video! If I was gaming in full screen on my main monitor could I touch this monitor and do things on without exiting the full screen game? I want to have spotify running on the mini touch screen so I can change songs in the middle of a game without having to alt-tab out. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thank you!

    1 over 3 here.

  41. Xenarc Technologies on September 2, 2020 at 10:35 pm

    Hello can you all review the rugged Xenarc 7" to 18" All-Weather Monitors. They are way better than anything you reviewed here. check out their website and rugged monitors at https://www.xenarc.com

  42. J Ram on September 2, 2020 at 10:38 pm

    Hello! Love the video! I became very interested in this waveshare screen that I bought it so I can hook it up to my PC and use it as a second screen for streaming and what not. I was wondering if anyone has encountered the problem I’ve encountered. Upon connecting it, (USB to DC and then Touch and then connecting HDMI to monitor) It won’t turn on. I am using windows 10. I have reset my pc and I’ve tried other USB plugs. It won’t turn on and I check the display settings to detect device but it doesn’t detect it. It only detects it in the Devices section but that’s it.

    I have contacted the company via email but I don’t know what to do from here Other then wait and see if anyone else has had the same issue and may have a solution. Thank you!

  43. CasperWhisper ASMR on September 2, 2020 at 10:40 pm

    74$ + 80$ shipping, well buy a big screen xD

  44. Ben on September 2, 2020 at 10:42 pm

    i wanted a second monitor for a cyberpunk setup i want and this will do, its gonna go above my pc displaying spotify when im using it or a playing a live background when not in use

  45. Ryan Anscombe on September 2, 2020 at 10:42 pm

    hey man just got this monitor on ebay, any chance you could supply the links to the angled cables you’re using??

  46. Manu Deejay on September 2, 2020 at 10:44 pm

    Hi is it possible to take the power in the pc power supply directly ? thanks, i’m searching a second monitor to display PC stats

  47. OkayCancel on September 2, 2020 at 10:46 pm

    Does it have additional driver to make this touch work?

  48. Ahmad Salem on September 2, 2020 at 10:48 pm

    Really nice but also a little too price 50 should probably be perfect

  49. Brendan Jamieson on September 2, 2020 at 10:51 pm

    Great video. Convinced me to pick this little guy up. For anyone who gets this display and has trouble getting the touch functionality to work properly in Windows 10 – you will need to calibrate the screen first. System search for "Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input" then use the configure-> set up option. Then just follow the on screen prompts. Cheers!
