The thing I’ve been looking for to watch temps and CPU/GPU usage
I absolutely love this . This is everything I’ve been wanting. It does everything I need. So easy to set up and use . It’s very bright but has adjustable brightness in software. It mounts to any 120mm fan or fan cutout . Has an extra bracket to make it work with 140mm fans as well . And it connects via a single cable . It uses a 9 pin usb header , or use the 9 pin to usb a port adapter cable that’s included and plug into any usb port on your computer. Fits in any case and looks so clean . It has a metal housing, not cheap plastic like most everything these days .its actually heavy for its size which made me appreciate it and understand the quality of it . Please excuse the cable mess in my case , my aio requires a pcie cable and I ran out of extensions , that’s the next item I’m ordering 💁♂️🤦♂️😉😂

Super useful for front facing stats
Great little screen, and highly affordable relative to some other things (I paid $89). Since my new AI box is going on the floor (and turning all the RGB off), I wanted something front facing in the Lian Li 011 compact case, so I could keep eye on temps at a glance from front vs inside the case above mobo, which is more common. Worked great; love that it worked with the Lian Li software I already had for the intake and exhaust fans. One of the default readouts was exactly what I wanted. Only trick was the bracket to connect to my AIO fans was not super supportive, but I added command strip velcro style to bottom fans assembly to keep it more "in place." I'd take a half star off for the bracket support the way I used it, but super happy with the end result -- esp with 9800x3d paired with rtx5090!

Excellent screen to display PC stat's on!
Excellent product! Easy to set up and deploy, works right out of the box once you download the L-Connect app from Lian Li website. Lot's of different ways to configure it and display it. I have a small PC case Jonsbo Z20, so I just display it picture style, sitting on top. Works perfectly and you can display a ton of info about your PC's GPU/CPU/RAM stats, hard drive space, temps, etc. Highly recommend and would buy again.

Great screen for performance stats. Mounting bracket could be beefier.
This is a great display for PC stats. It just needs one USB connector that is easily hidden away behind the screen. You can connect it to an internal USB port on the motherboard or use the adapter to connect it to a USB on the outside of the case if you are out of ports on the MoBo. For stats it is great, just run the Lian Li L-Connect 3 software, pick your style, and done! Super easy. However, while the mounting bracket is very versatile and adjustable, it's not strong enough to reliably hold the screen if you try to mount it horizontally from one of the ends. I wound up having to support it with some double sided foam tape. If you are going to position it horizontally, you are really limited to using the center mounting point. Here is a pic of it along with my other Lian Li fans and AIO in my build.

Worth Every Penny!
Beautiful screen and good software support. You might have to update your L-3 Connect software to have it recognized by your computer, but that's simple to do. Lots of configuration options and a good match for my gaming system - which I call 'Green With Envy' because I built it into a custom plant rack to grow orchids.

Just awesome…
Awesome, perfect fit in my thermal-take case. Software works perfectly I just wish they would make it a bit more user friendly for when you’re creating your own image/gif. Other than that it reads my reps perfectly. It was also really easy to set up just make sure you have windows updated for the universal screen to work. Compared to the other universal screens this one is a really great bang for your buck and looks awesome

This is a beautiful monitor screen.
Very cool CPU and GPU monitor screen. People say that it won't convert to Fahrenheit. This is not true. If you use one of the included templates then yes, you cannot convert it to Fahrenheit. However, if you create your own template, you can choose Fahrenheit. See the attached photo. Creating your own template is actually rather easy to do and you have a lot of options to pick from. Overall, a great monitor screen.

Decent product, bad price, awful software.
The software is incredibly unintuitive to use. There aren’t a lot of options, and good luck creating a custom theme unless you’re very proficient in that type of stuff. The OpenRGB integration doesn’t work either. Whenever I have L-connect service running it causes 1% low FPS drops at random. This is a known issue in the discord and it has not been addressed. The screen cannot work without L-connect service running. I have a 5090 and 9800X3D, so I know it’s not me. It’s effectively trash unless you want to use it as a second PC screen, but there are cheaper and better options if that’s the case. I will be returning mine.
