Great bit of kit
Bit skeptical of a product sold by brand called "Generic" for only £25 but I am very very pleased with the product.I am using the product as a FPV (First Persion View) Monitor for a Quadcopter drone with a 5.8Ghz camera transmitter on it. For anyone planning to use this for the same reason here is my setup, for anyone not bothered skip to the last parapgraph:250FPV frame with a FatShark & Immersion Predator V2 w/ a camera and 5.8ghz transmitter. I mount the monitor on a tripod (has the correct thread on the monitor, description doesn't mention this) and run a 3.5mm to triple phono cable from the goggles into the yellow phono input on the monitor. The picture I would say is considerably better on this monitor than what I can see through the goggles, the quality of the LED or LCD screen that's in the goggles just isn't as good, even though the resolution doesn't seem to change. Also, both run at the same time. So I can look through the goggles and someone else look at the monitor or vice versa. There seems to be absolutely no lag and therefore this is a great way for saving yourself some money from buying a specific FPV monitor on HobbyKing for at least £50. If you have the goggles already they're a great receiver.I have been running this unit off a Yuasa 12v 2.1Ah Sealed Lead Acid battery. When fully charged the battery reads about 12.9volts which should be fine as this monitor can apparently runs from 9-35v, although I have not tested this. Running just an analogue video signal into the yellow phono input this monitor pulls about 230ma, so very little current. Maybe add a little more if you're using the speaker outputs on it aswell, but it's a very low current device.I'm very impressed with the actual quality of this unit, for only £25 I really wasn't sure what to expect. There are a few other monitors on Amazon of very similar specs for as low as £20 but I decided to try this as it's Prime eligable. I ordered late Friday night and turned up Saturday morning. The actual housing feels quite strong, and even comes supplied with a sort of case which I think is for mounting to a cars headrest, although i'm not sure. With that case on, it's roughly the same size as an iPad Mini, but thicker obviously.Overall very happy with the unit with only one possible drawback, I like that the unit has VGA and phono, but I think it would be much better and I'd of been happy paying slightly more would be to not have the cables hardwired into the unit dangling out the bottom. I won't ever need the VGA and so it just takes up room, as I don't want to open the unit and desolder the connection and void my warranty. I would much prefer just to have a port in which I could just plug my own cables into. But that's a small downside. I mount the monitor on my camera tripod and balance a battery on the arms that fold out to the tripods legs.For anyone wondering how to wire this up: There is one connection, which LOOKS (not sure) like a female 2.1 x 5.5mm barrel jack centre pin positive. It comes supplied with male jack with 2 red and black wires. It's only thin wire maybe 20AWG so I found it a bit tricky to crimp on my normal uninsulated spades. I used those entirely insulated ones they worked a lot better for this thin wire. If you're installing this in a car you can wire straight into your 12v system. However there is also seperate from the main power connection a blue wire which can be wired to your reversing light, so when you begin reversing it turns on and whatever camera/feed you have connected will show up on screen. I found the monitor takes about a second to turn on.TLDR: Very happy. Great price. Good quality. Good picture. Bad side is cables that dangle out the back that I don't use which I could remove them.

Neat, but not without issues
In the + corner we have.Great picture quality when combined with a half decent camera – I used the AUTO-VOX Waterproof (IP68) Rear-view Reverse Camera, with great results. The screen is easy to install and the provided flat surface mount worked well for my motorhome as I sighted it above the rear view mirror so it looks OEM, almost. I’ve wired the camera & monitor so that they’re always on, rather than just when reversing, as it really helps to have a clear view of following traffic when motoring too. Monitor provides a good quality image and very stable picture quality.In the - corner we have.I needed to open the monitor to remove the VGA cable which wasn’t of interest to me. Doing so invalidated my warranty, so was risky, as I knew I would not be able to return the item for refund or exchange after that point. I was extra careful because of that and all was well, but it was a gamble...Biggest negative is that no matter what I tried, I could not get the screen to power up from any 12v source. I even wired it straight to a 12v battery and it still wouldn’t power up. It was only when I used a 240v AC to 12v DC convertor, powered via my motorhomes inverter that the monitor sprung into life. Very strange? Must be something to do with the amps?I might have returned the monitor because of this issue, but I couldn’t because I’d removed the VGA cable (sad face). I strongly suggest that the seller offers this item with or without the VGA cable, as I would have preferred it without.Sort that out and it would be 5 stars from me. As it stands it’s a 3 from me.Yours truly.John G.

Excellent video monitor for use in a Guitar Pedal Board with Simply Worship.
An excellent video monitor for use in a Guitar Pedal Board with Simply Worship. You can power this monitor from your main Pedal Board power supply and watch the same video feed that your audience/congregation is seeing displayed by Simply Worship without having to keep turning round to see the main video screen. The picture quality is excellent with vibrant colours and clear detail. It scales the video nicely from XGA and it looks great.

Nice kit but bad manual
Like a lot of other reviewers, I found this a neat little monitor. Once I'd got PSU sorted (I'm using10V which works fine but get the polarity right) it sprang to life and everything was OK. BUT like other buyers I found the Instructions (or Perating Instructions as it says on the front) useless.Some technical data would be good - there's none at all in the manual. What range of DC input will it work on? Manual doesn't say. What are all the wires for? Manual doesn't say. What range of temperature will it work in? Manual doesn't say.So four stars only let down by useless 'manual'.

Item is great for putting into the middle console of a car ...
Item is great for putting into the middle console of a car and build quality seemed sturdy. Unfortunately despite connecting it to a power source it would not power on? So had to return item. Didn't have enough faith to get a replacement and instead ordered another brand which worked

Not all as it seems, no audio so not so good for incar entertainment, blue screen when no signal so not suitable for FPV!
No mention that item has no sound in the item listing, poor manual, has blue screen when there is no signal so not recommended for FPV, menu system extremely basic and crashes occasionally, I can't help feeling a little disappointed but I guess you get what you pay for?

Great little screen
Connected to Raspberry Pi easily, both end are female so you need a bit of cable. Screen menus allows you to rotate image and choose input, Monitor then remembers the settings for next time its powered up. If you need to, the VGA cable can be easily removed if you take the back off, since they are not soldered to the PCB . Mounted under a kitchen cabinet, with a Raspberry Pi as a media player. Menus over composite are clear enough to read. The mounting plate hole were a bit small to screw down, but easily drilled bigger.
