I had a similar one that I had to turn up the brightness every time I used it since it'd go back to default settings on power off. Does this one do the same?

These are so dim, 250nits is practically unusable unless it's dark. Chances are they were returned for that problem. Also, these panels are fragile. Bend them the wrong way and they'll stop working. See the reviews on Amazon for similar listings.

I had same issue and returned it. I did like the panel for my use case, but did find the 250 nits disappointing.

Got this from Best Buy for about $10 more and returned it. Looks like people just don't like it

Baloney, I have this monitor and it's more than fine for office use; I actually have the brightness at about 60%

You may just be used to the low brightness or haven't used a higher quality display to notice. A good screen is at least 400nits.

I've got a raspberry pi project I had in mind that needed a small monitor, for $35 this might be fun to play with.

"Unusable?" LOL...based on what....12 noon outside in the middle of July? Where do you people even come up with this stuff?

'See any review,' not a single one of them says the dimness makes it "unusable." Check out any video review if you really want your world view destroyed...you can see for yourself....under studio lighting which is MUCH brighter than most homes or offices.

FWIW, I currently use a MNN generic portable monitor which also claims 250 nits (based on the fact it is a endlessly rebranded generic, that is probably an exaggeration or never actually tested) and that I used all the time outside and the brightness is no where near turned up to max.. Must be magic.
