Quick review Eyoyo S801C 8 Inch Monitor

My main screens are running on a GeForce GTX 970. Even though that it has 6 connections, it can only use 4 outputs at the same time.

I got a GeForce GT 710 to run the 8" screens.

I have had them up and running MFCD exports with DCS World, But I am currently in the process of setting up everything after a systems reformat and upgrade to DCS World 2.5.

I bought 2 of these: Eyoyo S801C Super 8 Inch IPS LCD Monitor 1204x768.

I would recommend getting those mentioned later instead.

There are some major and minor drawbacks on these.

Major

There are holes in the right places for Vesa mounts, but there are no metal threads for mounting. I guess they have chosen to omit the nuts for some reason.

The USB-C socket is not raised from the back of the screen, so the cable delivered can't be used, it is not possible to plug it in.

I only noticed this on the online pics after I had gotten them.

Minor

In both of my examples the finger bolt in the stand where to long, so it would hit the back of the screen before tightening on the Tslot plate.

I solved this by adding a washer, to the bolt on the rear of the stand.

The Tslot plate is very thin and flimsy and the hole in the stand for the finger bolt, is a mishap just waiting.

I could not feel that I was deforming the Tslot plate with the square nut, while tightening the finger bolt. I also managed to to strip the thread from one of the square nut in the process.

The finger bolt and square nut are using the same thread as camera mounts. 1/4 20 BSW Whitworth

I very much recommend adding some washers to the hole, so it is not possible to pull the plate into it.

I had broken the stuff myself, but the seller was willing to send me 2 Tslot plates and 2 square nuts for free. I had to cover the shipping cost myself and that would be 15 pounds.

For 16 pounds I bought a set of 1/4 20 BSW Whitworth taps and made my own replacement square nut.

These are the ones I would recommend or some similar.

From the pictures you can see that there should be metal threads in the Vesa holes and it looks like it is possible to use the USB-C connector.

I hope this is usefull.

Here is a picture of my screens with MFD's.
