You can already get custom scripts for the small screen (3.5"), so I guess it´s just a question of time until someone will create a custom apps. Hopefully. Those displays are really high quality, so it would be nice to have also some custom usage.

[@rafalokap]

Can this LCD display be used as a second display where I can move the cursor?

[@upir_upir]

It can not. Those are not external screens and you cannot move your cursor over this screen. If you want a proper screen, just google external HDMI screens, you can get those in the same size and resolution as this one.

Hello! I followed your video step by step and my software continues to say no connection. I have connected my monitor via 9 prong or by usb-c. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times. The monitor has power, it just cannot seem to connect to the software. The SD card is inserted... any advice?

[@upir_upir]

Perhaps try a different USB cable (make sure it´s data, not just for charging), different USB port. You can also try installing the drivers, they are packed together with the software.

[@GENKI_INU]

Just to be clear, this app only works for these displays, right? Not for HDMI-based sensor panels of similar size? Because I'm not sure what free software options I have for HDMI sensor panels, besides using Rainmeter, which is extremely CPU-heavy (like 15% CPU usage).

[@upir_upir]

Correct, this software can be only used with Turzx screens, not with generic HDMI external monitors. Could you perhaps use Turzx screen instead of your HDMI screen? They just introduced big and wide display that looks nice, I hope to cover it in some next video..

[@GENKI_INU]

@@upir_upir I already spent $200 on a 14 inch 1100 x 3840 HDMI sensor panel so I might as well use it. I'm running the display separately off the iGPU of my 13600K too, but I didn't realize it would take so much CPU utilization to run Rainmeter gauges. The other option I see is spending another $60 on AIDA64, and rebuilding everything on there to get the CPU usage lower. So I just wanted to see if there was another software solution.

[@TotemoGaijin]

Sorta makes me wonder if they abandoned the software for 3.5 model considering how scuffed it is. Parts of it still in Chinese, windows not resizeable leading to buttons being cut off, etc... Do you know anything about doing themes on those ones? Some of it would be serviceable, but it only lets you change colors on numbers, not text that seems to be locked.

[@upir_upir]

I would not think of it as "abandoned". I would rather say that this was their first display / first software, and they just gradually improved with every newer display / software version. If you don´t like the software and still want to use the small 3.5 display, someone has developed Python scripts to drive those displays. That might be an option - plus it works on all OSes. Link should be in the description, and I hope to try those soon.

[@TotemoGaijin]

@@upir_upir Yeah, I got the python one running, but its a bit of a pain to do, and you need a whole different package/program to be able to do theme stuff.

It´s possible, but perhaps not that straightforward. Looking at the documentation, there is not a one click solution to export a wallpaper as a video file.

Please see my other videos with this display (there is a playlist) that answers hopefully all of the questions. It has onboard memory, but it´s quite limited. I believe like 10MB, so only enough to fit perhaps one short background video. It´s better to use SD card, in that case, you can fit much bigger/longer background video. As for the software, you need to keep it running to show PC statistics. If you only want to use the display to show a video, you don´t need to run the software.

i have one 3.5 but the problem i can't see temperature for gpu , are this software can show temperature for cpu & gpu ??

[@upir_upir]

I have found the 3.5 version to be quite limiting, the 5” definitively has more options +the background video option. I believe both temperatures are there.

[@husseinabdulla]

@@upir_upir me screen not using same your software, aida64 this using and show me in side temperature trial version ( i think must subscribe and pay for show ) !! if this software in video can show both temperature for cpu and gpu i will pay it , and can show how much watt pc are using?

Open the provided software and in the settings, set you current city - or some close city and it should work.

This wont work on the 3.5inch one

[@upir_upir]

That´s correct, I describe it in my other video. There are separate applications for every size, and the themes has to be done in a different way. Also, the 3.5" has some limitations compared to the 5" version - for example you cannot play background video on that screen.

[@kubashy]

Hi, how safe is this software to use? There is a risk of some virus? Can i use different program to work with this display? How much CPU, GPU this display use?

[@upir_upir]

It should be safe, but obviously nothing is 100% safe.. so use it at your own risk. That said, if there would be any problem, I´m sure someone would already reported this. It uses a little bit of CPU, no GPU. If there is a video playing on the background, it´s handled by the display itself, so it uses no PC resources - which is one of their selling point.

[@kubashy]

@@upir_upir What will not work if you will open not as administrator? Any antivirus programs flag this as no safe or how it is looking? Did you try use zadig drivers to use AIDA64 with this screen?

Is this compatible with the 3.5 inch version?

[@upir_upir]

What do you mean by that? It´s the same brand, but you need to install a separate application for both displays.

[@sharpenednoodles]

@@upir_upir that is exactly the clarification I needed thank you. I wasn't sure if the 3.5 inch model used the same software. Since they're different, this wouldn't be compatible

Thanks for the video! 😮I’m currently doing a heavy pc mod that is Mechwarrior themed, and I plan to use this to show a 360 rotating 3D mech and other similar hud cosmetic stuff. Currently using nearly all of my ports on gpu, but I loathe that aida64 doesn’t support videos anyways. Will have one large Aida panel just under main monitor though for the actual data.

[@upir_upir]

You are welcome. By the way, you can display real actual data on the Turzx displays as well, and you can use multiple of those in one setup - they just have to be a different sizes.

Hi Turing just came out with a 2.1 inch version screen for aios. Could you kindly review them? Would love to know whether you can run both the 3.5/5 inch monitor and 2.1 inch monitor simultaneously and what the cpu/gpu load is especially during high workload/gameplay

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your comment; I will take a look and most likely record a video. Having a round display looks very interesting. I believe you can run both displays simultaneously since a different software is used, but I haven´t tried it yet. There will be no GPU load since only the CPU sends data to the display. Theoretically, it should be better than using another external display, but I haven´t specifically looked at the CPU load with this display. Do you have any photos of your setup?

[@MrLuffyboy]

Haha looking forward to the video. Im about to make my all white rgb nzxt h9 flow build. Waiting for phanteks d30 to be out so I’m trying to find a white Aio that pairs well with that so this new option instead of the kraken/callipex is something im exploring.

no idea what so ever what you said. but looks cool

[@upir_upir]

Thank you. This is just a simple tutorial on how to create a custom theme for this particular display/unit that could show all kinds of PC statistics. Like all the memory usages. You don´t have to create a custom theme in order to use it - it comes with many nice-looking themes predefined. Also, this screen comes in a few different variations, you can also get a smaller one or a round one - please see my other videos for more details.

the 3.5 inch display costs $14 but the 5 inch costs $40, that's a big jump. I bought the 3.5 inch from Ali.

The difference between those two is not just the size but also functionality. The smaller one is very limited, you only have a few themes to choose from and you cannot play background animations/videos.

@@upir_upir Hi! I also need a small screen for looping a video in an exhibition. Do I understand correctly that after downloading the video to the small monitor, the device doesn't need to be connected to a computer anymore? I can charge it via charging cable like a phone?

[@upir_upir]

That’s correct. You use PC to set the display to play video upon startup, and after that, you don’t need PC anymore. As soon as you connect USB to power, the video will play. Note that there are no speakers, so no sounds. Also there is a limitation on video quality. You might need to use some free video editor like ffmpeg to resize the video to certain bandwidth/resolution to play correctly.
