"This screen is totally functional, but it has two big down sides that you may or may not want to deal with. First is the viewing angle. It has an incredibly narrow viewing angle - maybe 10 to 15 degree vertically. The horizontal viewing angle is surprisingly broad. You can still see the screen when it is turned almost 90 degrees away from you. But that vertical viewing angle is a killer. If you have the screen sitting on a desk leaning back on the provided brass stand-offs, the screen is so badly washed out with brightness (whites) that you can't read text on the menus or dialogs. Viewing the screen from below isn't quite as bad, because rather than the whites overwhelming everything, the blacks come out. You can get about 20 degrees more usable tilt out of it that way. The colors are affected, but you can still read text in dialogs and menus. Photo viewing wouldn't work though. The colors change dramatically with any angle change of more than 10 degrees up or down.The second flaw with this screen is that there's no adjustability at all. The display image doesn't fill the entire screen, and it can't be adjusted. The brightness is fixed, and it can't be adjusted.Don't get me wrong, this is a $35 screen. I'm not expecting the image to be comparable to a $300 tablet or $200 desktop monitor. But it shouldn't be this poor either. When you compare it to similarly sized replacement LCDs for tablets and phones, you wonder why no one has made an interface for a common phone screen."
