BTW, I found one that claims it support other software (like AIDA64):
Will this this be easier to control? |

The simulated LCD is not realistic at all for the refresh rate. Indeed, the most time-consuming step is due to the data transmission to the "real" LCD using serial over USB. This step is not necessary in simulated mode where a picture is generated directly on your computer.
Both products seems fine, just to confirm that the 5" version has not been tested with this project, so it may not work at all, or only some features (e.g. no video from SD card)
For this product, i don't know how the LCD is controlled by a computer. There is no mention of UsbMonitor program, so it is quite sure it won't work with this project. |

@MrFr1day Issue converted to discussion because it is not an issue - for now at least |

Has anyone got this python code working on the 5" version? Thinking about grabbing one https://www.geekbuying.com/item/5-0-Inch-IPS-TYPE-C-Secondary-Screen-CPU-GPU-RAM-HDD-Monitoring-Black-507215.html |

This is still a work-in-progress, an issue is currently open (#90) with the protocol for the 5" version but it has not yet been implemented in this project |

Hi,
I've a couple of questions that hopefully someone can answer:
1- I've found 5 inch versions in AliExpress that seems to use the same "UsbMonitor" software, did anyone try them? will they work if I update the resolution in the config file?
2- In one of your posts, you mentioned that the refresh rate is very slow, is this a Python limitation?
I ask because I saw a preview of the monitor in AliExpress playing an animated background with a relatively high refresh rate, although it might be using the SD card for that.
Thanks.
