Unboxing / Review of small touch screen monitors. I recently purchase a 7" Touch Screen Monitor by EVICIV. It's advertised purpose is for small form computers like Pi's and Ardinos, but I was using it as a very secondary monitor with touch support (my particular application is the running and android emulator on my PC). So far I'm fairly impressed with it's performance and the suite of wires included with it is very nice. Both of these are particularly impressive to me for the very reasonable $80 price tag. It does have a very competitor at a $63 price point, the competitor comes with a nice looking frame, but less wires and no touch pen. A couple things I've noted while using it: The instructions say you need to use both USB supports when connected to a PC (one is for power and the other touch data), but I am getting enough power to the device with just using the data port. I would assume on something as small as a Pi, you would not receive enough power, though. Obviously color accuracy isn't great on it. Fits below my main monitor very nicely. Angle of provided stand and placement on HDMI port don't allow for clearance of the right angle HDMI adapter. For usability, I agree with running it at the recommended 1024x600 resolution, rather than the full 1920x1080 since windows ends up very very small at that high of a resolution. I've never set up a touch display, so idk if it's a windows issue or an issue with the monitor, but initially windows assigned the touch to my main display.
