    Not compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero

    UPDATE 3/2/2022 It's been a while since I looked at this screen and since then I can see that some of my issues have been resolved. In particular, the item description and marketing material no longer references the Pi Zero (which was one of my original complaints). The current item description no longer makes me believe that Pi Zero devices should be supported out of the box. I believe this is a reasonable solution to my complaint in this area. I've also noticed in some other recent reviews…

    Great for statistics of things like pi-hole

    I bought an EATX case that has it built in and this doesn't take up much space, the 7 inch screen fits perfectly in the case and with the IPS screen it's bright enough even with dark smoked glass. It works great. for a quick look at the stats for Pi-Hole and I can get an idea of what's happening on my network. The screen is bright, sharp and clear.

    Stops working after a day

    **Updated 7/2/22** Screen replacement seems to take 2 weeks. The first screen appears to have a slightly thicker screen assembly than the replacement and the replacement is identical to my first screen which is still working so the defective one could be a different version of this product. Overall rating 4 stars due to the fact that I had to deal with the first broken screen. **Original Review** I bought one of these screens a few years ago and it still works perfectly, but for some reason…

    Small HDMI monitor for mobile use

    I have several Raspberry Pis that I have scattered everywhere. If they're new, you'll need to set them up, usually with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. A regular desktop monitor is inconvenient to carry around, especially when you need to debug a Pi that you've placed somewhere other than your desk. This is a very good small HDMI monitor that is very easy to move around. All you need for power is a micro USB power adapter. I didn't use the touchscreen feature so I can't comment on that aspect.

    I bought this touchscreen product on a dedicated 3D printer, after a few weeks the screen started inverting the image every few milliseconds. I contacted Eviciv and they were happy to send out a new screen after testing it in stock. The new screen worked on arrival and is still working today.

    I like the video and sound quality, the touchscreen is responsive and works well. I am using Pi4 (version 1.2) with Raspberry Pi OS 5.4 and everything worked without problems. I have one small complaint and that is the only reason I declined the 5th star in the overall rating. First, I should note the "gift" cables that were included. When you use the "Gift" FPC cable together with the "Gift" 3-pin power cable, the connection is clean and easy, saving valuable USB ports. My only complaint is…

    Fragile display, good customer service.

    I've been using this display for over a year now and overall it works well. However, a few months after I received it, the touchport broke. After contacting Eviciv I was told I could return it, re-solder it myself or just leave it; The power connector can also be used for the touch screen. I chose the latter option and it was fine until I used YouTube while powering the display from my Raspberry Pi 4's USB port, which caused the display to lose power.

    Good touch screen for Raspberry Pi 4

    I like it. I've been using this for the screen with a Raspberry Pi 4 for 2 1/2 years and it works really well. Being able to mount the Pi on the back of the display is handy to create a single wearable device. The display also comes with a good set of cables. Eviciv tech support was quick to respond to my question about the touch functionality issue - turns out I was just using the microUSB cable for power. They offered to send replacements.

    Clear small display

    It's a sharp little screen. Small things I would hardly fault - the directions were not very good. There were multiple cable options (included, which was cool, but I had to go to YouTube to find out how to connect the ribbon cable. The mini-HDMI was too narrow to use if you mount the raspberry from the back , so I had to sort out the cable that has a little latch in it.

    Great Raspberry Pi 4 display

    I'm tired of connecting my Raspberry Pi to the same monitor as my desktop. I also wanted something small and portable. How fun would it be to use on the go!? Well, after browsing Revain for a while and reading reviews, I settled on this monitor. This is a great addition! The instructions are simple and easy to follow. Installation took about 5 minutes after I got all the parts laid out to work. Now my Raspberry Pi is reassembled and all I need is a power supply to get it working. The monitor is

Two weeks have passed and I have three dead pixels. Rough, especially for a multi-pixel display. Power. A bit noisy and crackling at startup. This is the case with any type of power supply. Bad display quality. Simply the worst IPS I have ever seen. It appears to be edge lighting, which is very poorly done - all sorts of highlights…

    An unfortunate disappointment

    When I first got this screen I really liked it.

I had legs, Pi assembled and everything connected in 20 minutes. (If you are familiar with the types of cable connections, this should be easy for you).

    REVIEW UPDATE: After my initial review, EVICIV contacted me to help resolve the situation! First they refunded my original purchase. They then also sent a new larger screen as a replacement (https://amazon.com/EVICIV-Raspberry-Touchscreen-Display-Housing/dp/B08L6J42VM/ref=sr_1_3).

    This is probably the best pixel value micro monitor I've seen on the market. With other brands, you pay more for a lower pixel density. This is a really high quality display that can be placed on a desktop next to the main monitor to monitor 3rd party applications and works well as a standalone display for a headless PC, Mac or Raspberry Pi. -Higher resolution given the size, which is somewhere between a Kindle and a large cell phone. -Super compact for assemblies that can be hidden away or on…
