I’ve got these things locally available in the $50-60 range. This being a generic brand, I imagine a buncha those are available globally. Anyone tried 'em, do they work OK with modern desktops (gnome, plasma)? Touch? DP-Alt or are they DisplayLink? Do they have PD?

Sellers are helpful nada, same with youtube videos, just marketing fluff.

    Bought a 9 incher for server because I sucked at remoting in.

    Fairly delicate but it was like 40 dollars. It is serviceable and serves the need. Am able to complete simple tasks via the touch screen. It kinda spazzes out with multi selecting/ touch but again 40 dollars.

    Cords are fairly obtrusive but never bugged me. Solved by getting on that’s mini hdmi or c like the other poster mentioned.

    Can turn it off with a little switch in the back which it’s mostly off. No issue on power up. Quicker than my dells honestly

    I realize this is the dumbest setup but it works 🤷

    I have a non-touch 1080p one I got for work, 80€, brand is Arzopa. Works fine, uses USBC for power and video which is quite cool since it’s a single cable, it has 2 usbc ports, I guess if you have a lower power output on your PC’s port you can add a power brick, they’re also both functional so if one breaks you still have the other one. It also has a mini HDMI port.
    It came with three cables: usbc-usbc, usbc-usbc, miniHDMI-HDMI, all three good quality.
    It has folder case but carrying it in my backpack damaged it anyway, I have a couple bright spots, but they’re rarely visibile.
