This very nice monitor fails after about an hour, seems to be heat related. Used the same power supply with a 4" monitor, works fine. When the monitor fails there are streaking colors across the screen. Would like a replacement.
Thanks
Peter

I would recommend a 5 to 7 volt power supply so as not to stress the back light.

Hooked up a 5 volt supply, failed after 15 minutes, black screen.

5 volt supply worked without problems. Using 5 volts for all your monitors is the best choice? Good to know.

Glad it worked for you. I always try to go with the lowest voltage that works.
