Very pleased with this 10.1 inch monitor!
I am predominantly using it as a secondary CCTV display for when I am using my main monitor for gaming etc. but have used it for PC diagnostics and new builds. I must say it has been invaluable so far!
With multiple connections (HDMI, VGA, Composite (RCA) and BNC) it ticks all the boxes as far as I am concerned! Fantastic product!!
Bought this for use with my Spectrum Next, TheC64 and A500 mini as well as Raspberry Pi. Lots of input options, HDMI, VGA, composite etc, has decent sound, remote control and good picture quality. Has VESA mounts on back and an adjustable stand that was a bit fiddly to fit, but I am very happy with it and it does the job perfectly.
Really neat little monitor. Not too big , not too small, great picture and good sound.
The size is perfect for what we need, it is also very clear.
Would highly recommend this product.
We mounted ours on the wall and that was also easy to do.

i try to play a fortnite on this machin and it work. worth the prices.
I was very surprised by the picture quality. Looks great.
I haven’t watched a movie on it or anything, I’ve just needed it as a teleprompter (I don’t want to use a tablet for that), and it looks great.
Please note that the aspect ratio is a bit off (at least for the size that I chose), but this is also stated in the specifications, if you know what to look for.
Sound is incredibly loud. Now I don’t need sound, but if you do, trust me, you WILL be able to hear it (you can of course turn it down).
The quality of the sound is of course lacking any real bass, but I feel like that is to be expected.
Once again, not great for movies or for that matter, music. But if you just need to be able to hear the sound, then sure, it’s very usable.
For me it has been a great buy. Easy to use, clear picture, no trouble at all.
If I break the one I have, I’ll buy it again.

Does exactly what is described from seller. Only 4 stars as the back mounted plate for stand to connect to is really tight. I wouldn’t force it in, so take that little more time to affix.

I’m using this monitor as part of my system for online teaching on Zoom. It’s a great size for monitoring the output of my ATEM mini. It’s important that I can view exactly what pupils see online and the screen is the perfect size for that. the image is nice and sharp and I found it simple to get set up. Can’t comment on the stand that comes with it as I haven’t used it (the photo shows that I have it mounted to a clamp arm so it was handy that it had the correct screw connector for that . Also handy was the choice of connectors that came supplied (I’m using HDMI).

Very satisfied with this simple screen. Works well with mini consoles to allow a quick setup anywhere without the restriction of needing a TV in the room.

Very neat little display that works well with Raspberry Pi’s. Well packed and quick delivery. Caused some consternation while developing graphics as originally assumed the display was as advertised (and stated in the “manual”!) at 1024×600. After some head scratching I wrote a routine to display the actual resolution detected by the Pi and it returned 1280×720 at 60Hz. Pretty much a bargain at this price as it’s not much more expensive than bare TFT’s and this is a complete display with stand, cables and remote control. Unfortunately the stand does not appear to rotate left to right – you can tilt the display front to back or rotate it clockwise/anticlockwise.

I got this to use as a secondary monitor on a desk that doesn’t really have room for two larger monitors and it’s turned out to be ideal for having notes or videos open while I’m working or chats open while I’m gaming. The stand is easy to assemble and the face buttons and built-in menu are simple enough. The picture is very slightly on the blue side by default but nothing a little colour adjustment (in PC settings) can’t fix. Built-in speaker is so-so but for a little monitor like this you shouldn’t expect much; it gets the job done.
As a side note, the braided HDMI cable pictured here is not the one that came with the monitor.

Brilliant item. I actually use this as a DISPLAY unit for my REKORDBOX DJ software so I dont have to have my laptop all near the decks!
I’ve wanted an extra screen for a while but wanted something a bit smaller and more cost effective than a computer monitor.
This works brilliant. screen resolution is good
very happy!

Very easy to set up .excellent service delivery ,one day ,love the stand as it comes with a sticky pad .keeps it all neat & tidy
A nice size to fit onto a small desk.
Very good quality display.
The only problem is the visibility is dependent on the angle that you view the display.In other words the light level of the display depends on how it is viewed but ok for a cctv home system.
I bought this to use to connect to my consoles for portable use, although not really what its advertised for it gives an amazing picture quality, especially fir the project i was building which was a pstv connevted to this small screen to use as im pretty much bed bound. Its portable and really light, so can be used on my lap or stood on a table top. Id recomemd this little monitor even if its just for the amount of sturdy connection sockets mou ted underneath. Will be looking at more products in this companies range.
The screen is an ideal size to use as a CCTV monitor as it is compact and sits unobtrusively on the desk. The image is sharp and the colours are realistic. The fitting for the monitor onto the base was a little too tight to fit but the company sent a replacement connector without any query, delay or cost, so the quality of customer care trumps that issue and I am very satisfied with the outcome.
Rather than use an iPad for our Teleprompter we have used this monitor. It allows us to edit and control the teleprompter on the fly from a separate laptop. With VGA and HDMI options you’ve the flexibility to also use as a camera monitor. Consider getting a 11″ pouch to store when not in use. Recommended.
Using this for monitoring CCTV in a specific room. It works as it should but the screen image adjustments are very basic and you cannot reduce the actual screen brightness. Also I cannot see a way to turn off the annoying and pretty loud beep when pressing the buttons.
Bought 3 of these for a works project.
Needed something only 15″ so these were great.
Have loads of connections for PCs and CCTV systems.
Picture quality is good for daily use clear and bright.
Overall quite happy with it.
Simple to set up, use it on my CCTV system to monitor the recorder. Took all of 5 minutes to set up and 2 of those were easing the screws on the slot that holds the bracket as it wa s tight fit.
Had this product for 11 months till the picture stopped working. However when I contacted the company they agreed to send me a brand new one for free so would highly recommend.
First of all, there’s another detailed review of the ‘rimless’ product that was very helpful in letting me know you can set a refresh rate of 72hz on this monitor. Also the review says this is a TN panel, it possibly is, however the viewing angles are very good, like IPS and unlike TN, the colours are oversaturated and you need a bit of tweaking to get it looking good, this may be partly down to the screen being glossy and not matte. The monitor also doesn’t repond to VCP codes (not important for most). All of this is trivial to me, and isn’t a criticism.
The only thing I dislike about this monitor is that when it goes to standby it goes to a white screen with the logo, unfortunately there seems no way to set a black/blank standby screen. Which is unfortunate, I’m not sure if the USB slot is capable of updating the firmware of the monitor, but a if it is a firmware fix would be nice.
Overall, it is a very good buy for the price and a decent second monitor or a CCTV/utility monitor for around the house. If it wasn’t for the standby screen I would have given it 5 stars.

Could be just slightly cheaper but the monitor is just the right size you need for your home CCTV not a massive 20inch. I’m a lazy instructions reader, it is really plug and play thing using HDMI, they supply all the cables which could be the reason for few extra pounds.
::::[ SETUP ]::::
Setup wasn’t great to be honest, over HDMI it was detected as a 1024×600 display, and I could tell that it was not at native resolution. I created a custom resolution of 1280×800 using CVT, with a refresh rate of 72hz, which is exactly half that of my primary monitor at 144hz to avoid stuttering. I had to turn the display off and back on again and I could tell it was now displaying at the correct resolution for the panel and the image was sharp. The monitor accepts the signal and so I decided to see how far I could “overclock” the display, it seems to go to 75hz happily with no complaints but anything above that does not work, the usual tricks to squeez out a few more hz did nothing to allow it to go above 75hz. So yes, this display does overclock to 75hz, if you are using a 144hz display then you should set the refresh rate to 72hz, this will avoid any juddering issues Windows may have when using displays with differing refresh rates. There was no frameskipping at any refresh rate that worked.
Next I also found that I had to set the colour mode to “limited” rather than full as the display was crushing blacks and whites, the panel is 8 Bit and once I set the colour to limited I found the display to be surprisingly accurate.
::::[ DISPLAY ]::::
The first thing I noticed was that the edges of the display “hid” behind the glass front unless looking directly at it from the front, A strange design flaw but on a panel this small and which will likely see use as a CCTV or secondary display it is not an issue, the display is set back from the glass by a few mm.
The second thing I noticed was that sadly, this is a TN panel, and not an IPS panel as advertised, now it is a “good” TN panel in that it has wide viewing angles and due to it’s size you don’t see any colour shifting, so unless you know what you are looking for or are looking at it from extreme angles it’s unlikely you’d notice, the LAGOM viewing angle test doesn’t even give away that it is a TN panel.
Colours are very uniform for such a display, even a dark grey (which usually reveals ant flaws in a display) background with flat colours being displayed surprisingly vibrant for such a display.
Sadly there doesn’t seem to be a way to actually control the backlight, with both brightness and contrast only affecting the image, without adjusting the backlight brightness, so values of 50 for Brightness, 50 for Contrast and 50 for Saturation will be the only “correct” or native values. There was also no way to control or adjust colours, meaning I’ll have to do that from my graphics card drivers as I prefer a “warm” tone to my display.
::::[ FINAL THOUGHTS ]::::
For a second monitor, where desk space is limited or where you don’t want too much ‘screen’ in your face at once this more than fits the bill. I personally use it for displaying reference images when working on 3D models and for E-Mail, Facebook or for watching movies “in the background” so I don’t get distracted from what I am doing on my primary monitor. I did find the text to be a little small, in a perfect world I’d want to go from 10″ to maybe 12 or 13″ but I’m happy with my purchase.

Sadly there doesn’t seem to be a way to actually control the backlight, with both brightness and contrast only affecting the image, without adjusting the backlight brightness, so values of 50 for Brightness, 50 for Contrast and 50 for Saturation will be the only “correct” or native values. There was also no way to control or adjust colours, meaning I’ll have to do that from my graphics card drivers as I prefer a “warm” tone to my display.
::::[ FINAL THOUGHTS ]::::
For a second monitor, where desk space is limited or where you don’t want too much ‘screen’ in your face at once this more than fits the bill. I personally use it for displaying reference images when working on 3D models and for E-Mail, Facebook or for watching movies “in the background” so I don’t get distracted from what I am doing on my primary monitor. I did find the text to be a little small, in a perfect world I’d want to go from 10″ to maybe 12 or 13″ but I’m happy with my purchase.
::::[ SETUP ]::::
Setup wasn’t great to be honest, over HDMI it was detected as a 1024×600 display, and I could tell that it was not at native resolution. I created a custom resolution of 1280×800 using CVT, with a refresh rate of 72hz, which is exactly half that of my primary monitor at 144hz to avoid stuttering. I had to turn the display off and back on again and I could tell it was now displaying at the correct resolution for the panel and the image was sharp. The monitor accepts the signal and so I decided to see how far I could “overclock” the display, it seems to go to 75hz happily with no complaints but anything above that does not work, the usual tricks to squeez out a few more hz did nothing to allow it to go above 75hz. So yes, this display does overclock to 75hz, if you are using a 144hz display then you should set the refresh rate to 72hz, this will avoid any juddering issues Windows may have when using displays with differing refresh rates. There was no frameskipping at any refresh rate that worked.
Next I also found that I had to set the colour mode to “limited” rather than full as the display was crushing blacks and whites, the panel is 8 Bit and once I set the colour to limited I found the display to be surprisingly accurate.
::::[ DISPLAY ]::::
The first thing I noticed was that the edges of the display “hid” behind the glass front unless looking directly at it from the front, A strange design flaw but on a panel this small and which will likely see use as a CCTV or secondary display it is not an issue, the display is set back from the glass by a few mm.

The lead which came with the product did not work. Luckily I had another lead which worked the product. I have used the lead that came with it on something else.
I used this as a playback device on a camera switcher for live streaming. Works great, easy to use, good picture.
Good little monitor and easy to use. Figured out how to assemble screen on stand, but no instructions with it. Great that it has a USB charging point so that I can get power to other peripherals as part of my CCTV system.
I’ve attached it to my laptop as a small external screen and works great. Picture isn’t the best, but you get used to that, and it’s not a mega expensive monitor anyways. Well worth getting for price.
I bought this to hook up to by bird box camera and I am really pleased with it. I didn’t want a big tv screen taking up space and this little monitor is ideal. Picture quality it great it just a shame no birds have taken up residence! Great product though
I bought this to attach to a CCTV NVR. The picture quality is impressive for the size and price for the product. The only downside is there appears to be no way of deactivating the electronic beep when you press the buttons to change input, navigate the menu etc. but I’ll happily put up with it. I can’t say much about the sound quality of the built-in speakers as I don’t use this feature.
I bought the 10.1 inch version of this screen which I think is a nice size as it’s not too big but also gives a bit of extra space on the display. Mostly bought this to use with VGA as u have some old computers etc that I just can’t connect to my modern 4k monitor. It’s quite handy that it also has hdmi so I ll be using it as a little extra display for my main computer too. Display itself looks sharp and good colours
It works finally not bad but setup is not easy at all taken me 4 days
But it is a good product and good value

Purchased last November- worked a treat until last week. So unless you only want a monitor to only last 11 months ! Don’t bother.
I bought this to use with my Raspberry Pi and I’m quite pleased with the screen. However, the stand supplied was useless as there was no way, as far as I could see, to connect the bit which attaches to the screen to the base.
I wanted this to be able to monitor video from set top boxes and a Roku stick. Other than not being able to manually select 16×9 or 4×3, it is faultless.
The WHOLEV monitor is easy to assemble and is robust. We are using it as a monitor for the Raspberry Pi 4B for astronomical imaging. There are lots of options for input and we are using the HDMi input. The stand allows the monitor to be placed at a wide range of angles, so it can be adjusted to exactly the right angle for your needs. The power lead is long enough to be useful. This monitor would be suitable for a number of video applications and we like it.
This is great if you want a small computer set up like a Rasberry Pi. Viewing angles are nothing special but for the price didn’t expect anything else really. Perfectly good for what I wanted. Could be useful for tinkering with “proper” PC set up also, if you are building a rig or something and wanted to check everything is working for instance. Don’t recommend if you want to watch movies or play games of course, but that’s not the intent with this.
I wanted a small monitor for the IP CCTV cameras I use to monitor callers to my home. This item fitted the bill nicely – the picture quality is good, the broad range of inputs is useful, and it does what I needed it to do.
*Edit….. Ordered a new one, received yesterday, and it came with a 2 pin AC power adapter instead of 3 pin.
*Edit (again). Can’t fault the seller’s customer service. Sent me a free power adapter, and now I have a fully working, lightweight monitor. At least you can buy in confidence that if there’s any issues the seller is happy to resolve. Many Thanks Kin.

Ideal (non-touchscreen) display for the Raspberry Pi. Myriad inputs inc HDMI for the Pi and all necessary connection leads including a flat HDMI lead which is easy to route. The 1024×786 resolution is good enough to use with the Pi. The case and stand are well made. My only criticism would be some light bleed thru around the edges but with a non-black background you don’t notice it – plus you get what you pay for. As a Prime subscriber I also got a further 4 off the asking price which made the entire package extremely good value.
Recommended.
It has some sort of VESA mount. I’m saying some sort of, because the holes aren’t standard; it’s about 75×70, instead of the VESA standard 75×75. I solved this with my Dremel rotary tool, I enlarged the holes in the support (NOT the monitor… lol). Also, you need very short screws, there are some connectors behind the lower holes.
I am powering a Raspberry Pi Zero W from the USB port and it has no issues, the power is enough and the voltage is stable.
First I got a monitor with a dead USB port, but after a few messages with the seller I was sent a replacement that works properly, so 5 stars for that too!
Lots of features, good picture quality and “whole” positive choice, of product to fulfil the task required by the use of the product, i.e. CCTV monitor on your office desk. Also great for a larger screen for your smartphone.
I bought this monitor to add as a display for my security CCTV. It arrived today and is just perfect for the job. The screen is very clear with no dead pixels. The refresh rate is good and has a multitude of connection options available with three different types of connection cable included in the box. It has a number of ways to mount the monitor: on it’s stand, stuck to the wall or with holes provided for vesa mount.
In my view an absolutely wonderful purchase.
It seems to work well enough, but as with all 10″ monitors, as far as I can tell, there’s no provision for portrait orientation. I had to buy a swivel arm with 75mm holes to achieve it, and even then I struggled to find screws that would fit the threads in the monitor – and I’m not convinced they were actually the right thread. Four screws supplied would have solved that problem, but an option to mount it on the supplied base would be better still.
