Great display to be used inside a PC build
I was looking for a display that can be used inside a PC case for my new build.First I bought the Phanteks 5.5" HiRes IPS display and works great but it's an extended HDMI display that act as a monitor. You can display anything on it. There is nothing wrong with an extended display, but you need to understand the behavior. Mounting it was simple, either magnetic or directly to 120mm fans.However, after some days I've found that to display temps themes on it, either from AIDA64 or Rainmeter for example, you have to develop them or get a shared one that is optimal for the display resolution. This was tedious for me and I just wanted a display that was simple to operate and that work on its own.This is where the Wownova 8.8" display shines.Connection:There is no HDMI because this is an USB display. You connect just 1 cable, either the provided USB-C or a USB header cable that goes directly to one of available motherboard USB 2.0 headers. It doesn't get easier than this.Display:I got the 8.8" version because it suits better for my PC build, but any size/resolution from same brand model works the same, just different aspect ratio. The display is high quality with IPS, colors are bright and vibrant.Software:You download the specified software which is called Turzx to manage the display. It provides 20+ bundled themes either vertical or horizontal formats for the installed orientation. With the click of a single button, the desired theme pass to the display and it starts displaying real-time temps and other data. It doesn't get easier than this. The software also has a section to develop your custom theme and it's very simple unlike Rainmeter or AIDA64. The software is also free.Mounting:Mounting it was also simple, the included brackets allows you to hook it up to 120mm fans or any sized fans with 1 bracket. I installed with 1 bracket (in the middle) to one of my top 140mm fans with a radiator screw. It just takes a few minutes to do everything. You may spend more time deciding which theme to use from the software rather than installing the display to your PC build.Of course, because this is a "closed" USB display, software like AIDA64 or Rainmeter doesn't work with it. You need to use the Turzx software or any other collaboration software that works with this type of display. For me, the simplicity to display a fully working theme on it is worth more than the "DIY" method of using an extended type HDMI display.Highly recommended.

Excellent sensor panel
This sensor panel is fantastic. The quality is excellent (build quality, screen quality). Comes with a very nice usb-c to usb cable. This is not a screen (no HDMI connector). It is a usb device and needs special drivers (AIDA64 supports it as an LCD panel). The resolution is 1920x480. The software is nice and simple and already comes with several templates. You can find online videos on how to make your own templates as well.One complaint that I have is that it was very difficult to download the turzx driver from the company website. The links were not working for some time. I actually had to download it from my phone using VPN through Hong Kong. But once I downloaded the software, installation and setup was a breeze.UPDATE: I just found out that the box contained a print out of *new* software download instructions. The website address given in that print out works perfectly. I guess the company did not have time to update the product manual and I missed the print out. That resolves my main issue with this product.I used the software a bit more extensively since I bought the panel. The interface is a little clunky but it gets the job done. Once you get used to it you can create beautiful custom themes. The software offers all kinds of data sources. The only data source I am missing is current FPS. There is a setting in the software for FPS, but it does not work. Everything else is very customizable.One issue with the native software is that it will not put the device to sleep when the computer sleeps, so the screen stays on the whole time. AIDA64 does not have this issue. It would be nice if this problem was fixed.

Quality screen for a high end PC build!
Very nice quality screen. Software is user friendly. Working well so far! Installation was a breeze. This costs about $140 less compared to OEM Hyte Y70 touchscreen, I personally like the simplicity of this screen. It looks very elegant with the y70 case.

Don't Buy This
This thing is way too over priced for what you get. The image quality of the panel is pretty nice I'll admit. But the software is buggy, clunky and extremely limited. It only comes with a limited amount of pre-made gifs and images, that you have to download from a Google Drive??? You don't have a dedicated website to have your drivers/software on? Very very sketchy and my antivirus certainly didn't like it so, take that how you will. The software doesn't not really allow you to upload your own images/gifs. Every time I would try it would tell me it wasn't compatible. The device would randomly power off and not come back on unless I unplugged it from the motherboard and plugged it back in, then restarted the computer. Restarting the software would not do anything. Don't buy this or anything from this company.

Ease of Use
Completely worth $140. I have bought other screens exact same size for the exact same reason. (As a PC dashboard) The ease of hookup & install is very nice & preloaded with software is awesome. ONLY problem i had on setup was (using the USB-c to USB 3.0), I plugged into a USB HUB & the software would not detect monitor. Had to plug directly into PC. I bought the 8.8" screen for reference, but I believe the smaller 5" is exactly the same.
