TOGUARD Portable Monitor 7 Inch IPS Small HDMI Security Monitor USB Powered HD 1024x600 Computer Display Screen with AV VGA Input, Touch Keys, Built-in Speakers, Remote Control for Raspberry Pi PC

I love it!!! I am a professional video and audio installer and I use to verify HDMI connections from any device. I used to carry a 19 inch monitor with me at all times which was cumbersome. I carry it in my tool bag the price is AMAZING!!!!

Have been a Raspberry Pi user/experimenter since the first model was released. Generally used my Desktop PC monitor's spare HDMI port. Worked great until I began some serious development/configuration effort. Using my desktop monitor's HDMI switch became a real drag. Too many button presses for quick switching AND I couldn't used BOTH devices at once. This solved my problem! I could keep checking mail and get files on my desktop, AND make the changes I need to on the Pi at virtually the same time. I have separate keyboard/mouse for both, just was sharing the screen. I didn't have space for another desktop monitor, nor frankly did I need a big screen for what I was doing on the Pi. BUT seeing BOTH at the same time was so helpful. And this screen is so small, lightweight and handy I can still use my Pi on the dining room table when I need to. One of my best Raspberry Pi accessories.

This 7" Ultra-Thin Toguard_WR730-1 is a great value for the money. I purchased ten (10) of them.I ran thru two of the possible input sources VGA & HDMI only because that is the only two possible inputs I will have, see attached two images.My next test was using the AC Adapter as a voltage source. AND using the USB as a power source. This is a great design implementation. You may not have a spare outlet on your already packed power strip. Grabbing power from a USB port is a winner.If there is one super minor flaw, it has to do with the documentation, or my stupidity.I could not at first figure out how to mount the supplied stand to the monitor. At first one would think that it screws into the threads on the bottom of the unit. Yes it does screw in but does not offer a tight fit.Then I figured that the square nut slides into the channel on the back of the unit. See my third attached image.Arnie Roberts

Screen is a lightweight HD quality monitor. It works well with any hdmi input. It is good for portable gaming. This works better than my Windows Tablet RetroPie hack. Also good for testing desktop if you are trouble shooting away from home or workstation. The speaker is acceptable but a little tinny. The only issue is there are no audio output s for earphones or ext speaker. It’s a good buy with its price point.

Bought it as part of a small project I was doing with the PlayStation Classic. The monitor works perfectly.

I'm using this video display to monitor an outside security camera to see what's going on in my driveway and the street in front of my home. This display replaces a very similar monitor (identical base) that died after 4 years of 7/24/365 use. This new display has a higher resolution than my camera puts out, so I may be missing something. The picture, however, is clear as a bell. It comes with everything you need to hook it up, and brief instructions that you probably don't need. The instructions do indicate that you can use this display for an automobile backup camera - you would need some outside info on how to hook up display power to your backup lights...
