📺 Waveshare Raspberry Pi LCD Display Module 5inch 800x480 TFT Resistive Touch Screen Panel HDMI Interface for Raspberry Pi 4 A/A+/B/B+/2 B - Enhanced Performance and Compatibility Review

The display works very well. The CD is included with the Raspbian image, along with a Windows program to write it to the SD card. The CD also contains various PDF documents with useful information. A good adapter connects it to my Raspberry PI 2 B via an HDMI connector, and a standard 0.1" connector connects to the pins on the Pi to provide touchscreen connectivity and power. After connecting the screen, connect the power to the display. The USB port powers both the display and the PI…

Works VERY WELL. It only has 3 problems: 1) The provided image is an old version of Raspbian which doesn't have a handy GUI wifi program. For some reason the update doesn't fix this and the screen is too big to see the bottom of the provided Wi-Fi program. In other words, you must either use a terminal to set up the WiFi, or do the setup via the official Raspbian image. WARNING, the last option requires the included disc (which apparently some didn't get, and the download link posted is NOT…

Great, but ONE thing makes a product beautiful. almost bad. And this is the screen. You know, that's the whole point. The quality is good, but it's very hard to watch unless you're looking at it from a very specific angle. If you move your head or your device, it's impossible to tell what's happening on the screen. Without this problem, everything would be almost perfect.

I bought this screen to install a Raspberry Pi Retropie I'm working on. Keep in mind that while it uses HDMI instead of GPIO for display, it's by no means a plug-and-play screen and does require a bit of customization. However, I used the configuration method in user "thomas" comment and after a reboot it worked fine. It can draw power directly from the Pi using GPIO, but when the Pi starts drawing a lot of power (when the CPU/GPU is working hard for some reason) the screen can't draw enough…

Works great with my B and 2B models. Just follow the instructions to set up your SD card (format it and copy the image using Win32DiskImager), plug everything in and enjoy. The Pi Charger provides power to both the Pi and the screen when connected to the Pi. One thing: they say it on the product page, but I didn't really know what they meant until I plugged it all in. The HDMI port on Model B is slightly different from the other models, so the excellent HDMI adapter is not suitable for this…
