I'm looking for a small IPS display to use as a PC health monitor, showing things like temperatures, fan speeds, CPU/GPU usage, and other system statistics. I currently have a 3.5-inch Turzx panel, but its software is limited and unreliable. A friend suggested the Thermalright Trofeo Vision, although reports of units failing after only two or three months have made me hesitant. I'd prefer something at least 9 inches if possible. Are there any dependable sensor panels or small LCDs worth considering?

You don’t necessarily need a dedicated sensor-panel product. A basic small USB-connected LCD can work just as well, and you can design the dashboard yourself with whatever layout and metrics you want. These displays are often inexpensive, so you avoid being locked into buggy proprietary software or a short-lived panel.
Do you have any specific LCD models or software setups in mind? The reports about the Trofeo Vision failing quickly have made me especially cautious.
