Best addition to my PC setup!!!!
This was easily the best, and easiest addition to my PC setup I’ve made. The screen is extremely bright, without being overwhelming. Because of the universal frame, this device can be mounted in any build, in any case, and in any orientation. It can even be used outside of the case as a standalone monitor. It uses USB for power by connecting to your motherboard. This is the only part that can be a little annoying. Most motherboards will only come with two USB headers. Because of this, if you have a lot of fans or RGB items, those can already all be used up on ur build. All I had to do was order the NZXT USB hub extender. It costed me $20, and I was able to plug in all my fans, AIO cooler screen, and the Universal Screen. Given the size, i can’t imagine it not fitting in any cases, unless they’re super small. Overall, very happy with the purchase. Installation probably took me 15 minutes. If you’re interested in purchasing, I highly recommend looking at your USB headers, and making sure you have one free. If you do not have any left, make sure to also place an order for a USB extender. Once installed customization is a breeze. The L-Connect app works seamlessly. The screen was picked up by the app instantly. The app UI is fantastic in my opinion. If you have other Lian-Li products like infinity fans, you can control them from the same app. Overall, I’m extremely happy. I would reccomend this to anyone who is interested. Gives any build a super “custom” vibe.

Great Software/Great Screen
I was a little hesitant because the reviews on this screen are pretty mixed, but after installing it myself, I’m genuinely glad I bought it. Installation was very easy and straightforward, even compared to other internal or auxiliary PC screens I’ve tried. One of the biggest positives for me is that it uses USB only, so it doesn’t eat up an HDMI or DisplayPort connection on your GPU. That alone makes it far more practical than a lot of competing screens. The software/app is solid, which is something I really appreciate. I’ve dealt with too many small PC screens that rely on sketchy, unfinished, or poorly translated software. This one feels polished and stable by comparison, and it just works without constant tweaking or crashes. Image quality looks great for its size, and it does exactly what I wanted it to do as a system display. Overall, this feels like a well-designed product that’s gotten a bit of an unfair review. If you’re on the fence because of the reviews, I’d say it’s absolutely worth it.

Great addition to any PC build
The Lian Li 8.8" display has been one of the most satisfying additions to my setup. The first thing that stands out is the versatility of the mounting system. You get multiple options with the included mount, which makes it incredibly easy to place the screen exactly where it fits your build’s aesthetics and layout. Whether you want it on the outside of the case, behind the glass, mounted to a fan (how I mounted), or tucked into a custom spot, the flexibility is there. Installation is surprisingly simple. Lian Li clearly put thought into the hardware design, and it shows as everything feels solid, well‑made, and premium. The build quality is excellent, and the screen itself looks fantastic, with sharp visuals and great brightness for both system stats and custom loops, etc. The only real learning curve is the software. L‑Connect 3 works well, but it takes a little time to get used to the layout and customization options. Once you get the hang of it, though, the possibilities open up fast. Overall, this display is a great way to personalize your build while also giving you useful real‑time system data. If you enjoy both aesthetics and functionality, this little screen delivers on both fronts.

Really Good display; terrible software
The software leaves a little to be desired; it’s really clunky and not intuitive. But the quality of the picture, ease of installation, and wide range of mounting options all make up for it. Adjusting it into place wasn’t hard, I liked the 2 connection points so it made cable management better. Screen is looking good so far. Be prepared for the bad software

Great screen but limited mounting options.
I purchased the Lian Li 8.8" screen to replace a cheaper brand that failed, and I am very happy with my decision. I've had the Lian Li 8.8" for about a month now and it looks fantastic and runs flawlessly. The software takes a little learning, but once I got used to it, I found the graphics very adjustable with tons of options. Skip the cheap brands and buy this instead. The mounting hardware that is supplied with the screen, however, could be improved. It's an elegant design, lightwieght, and very well made, but I found it thin and unsteady, and since it's designed to screw into the fans, it has limited options for mounting positions. I replaced the mounting hardware with a camera/phone holder (also from Amazon) and combined the holder with a heavy duty magnetic base. Now it is solidly mounted, won't interfere with fans, and has more adjustment possibilities. This is a great case screen, however, I hope Lian Li will offer different mounting options in the future.

Beautiful Screen for Any PC Setup
The screen looks amazing inside my PC case. The display is bright and clear, and it is perfect for showing system information, images, and animations. Installation was easy, and the white design matches my setup perfectly.

Reasonably priced but lacking options
This screen is very reasonably priced and the display looks great with the RGB border. Not HDR, but saturation and brightness are good. However, there are not a lot of template options (the Cyberpunk-looking one is not actually Cyberpunk, they just made it look like it and avoided licensing by labelling it Cyberphnk instead), and the modular options are not easy to get just right (for example, there is a 1-2 pixel offset between the hours and minutes for the Time module using any font, and will not let you correct it) nor is the software easy to use. Not currently supported by Aida64 in USB mode, though if you turn it into a monitor then you can move Aida onto it (but then your mouse might go onto that screen, so more of a workaround than a solution). I expected a lot higher quality from Lian Li. I'd love it if they made L-Connect easier to use to modify existing templates, included more, and made it easier to customize module options. For example, I'd like to make some changes to the horizontal green cat theme, but can't. I'd give this a full 5 if they fixed L-Connect + worked with Aida64 to be compatible. I really want to keep it in USB mode :'(

Great product with horrible software that compromises your system fans.
I’m giving this product a 3 Star rating because of the software to run the Universal Screen is playing havoc on my system’s fans. I’ll give a bulletpoint rundown of this product and associated software: 1. The Universal Screen is outstanding. Looks great, build quality is great, ease of installation is great, and it works great. 2. Installation was a breeze. You have tons of ways you can mount this, but the location I chose did not have any way of using the screws to secure the bracket. But they include double-sided tape. So I simply cut the tape to the shape of the parts of the bracket that come in contact with my case, stuck the tape to it, and stuck it down on the housing around my power supply. Holding good and looks great. 3. Software functionality. The actual functionality of the software is excellent and you have a massive amount of customization capability. You will have this baby up and running quickly with nice looking options available with just a few clicks of the mouse. If you want a complete custom look, you can do that as well. 4. Software interaction with your PC. Here is where the train goes completely off the tracks and is the sole reason for losing 2 full stars. As soon as I installed the L-Connect 3 software my system fans went haywire. My CPU fans are spinning at 100% and I initially had zero control over it. My 3 front fans stopped spinning and my top 2 fans were stuck at about 45% spinrate. I have no clue what my power supply fan was doing. I contacted a CSR on the Lian Li Discord channel and he directed me to update my BIOS and then change some fan settings there. This got my front fans spinning, but my CPU fans were blasting away at 100%. I could not manually adjust the CPU fan, but no auto fan speed. My top 2 fans are still spinning at 45% and I still have no control over them. My front fans are working, I can adjust them, but I don’t think they are being controlled by anything adjusting their speed. I have messaged the CSR who was helping me and it’s been over 24hrs and no response.

Un buen adicional para tu ensamble
Bastante bueno, puede usar imágenes, gifs y videos, y tiene una configuración donde puedes sacar screenshots de imagen y video en mp4 que también se puede colocar. Lo único que se recomienda es que si tienes algún otro programa que controle tu RGB como signalRGB, desde dicho programa que no reconozca la pantalla, para que no cause problemas de conflictos entre ambos programas.
