This is a higher quality, higher resolution display than the official 7-inch display for a little more money. The touchscreen works better too. I find that scrolling is barely used on a 7-inch display, while it's MUCH smoother and more responsive on this one. 10.1 inch display. The fact that this 10.1" display includes a power supply and can also power most Raspberry Pi boards actually makes it a better deal than buying a 7" display and a separate good power supply. The only Pi I had trouble…

SunFounder 10.1 " HDMI touch screen

I bought this screen because I'm making a network packet sniffer with a Raspberry Pi (RPi) and want it to be as portable as possible. My first thought when I opened it up today was that it would definitely be better than the 3.5 inch device I have. Don't get me wrong, this little screen comes in handy for a few things (I'm going to use it to build a portable media player for the car), it just didn't fit my needs for this project like I was hoping. With a native resolution of 1280 x 800, this is

Solid screen, two nitpicks

This is a very good screen for Raspberry Pi projects. The screen itself is great, the touchpad works well and the ability to mount the Pi on the back of the screen and hide all the cables is great. I have two wishes that would make it even better: threaded holes on the back, making it easier to design and 3D print back covers - the ability to turn off the backlight (or better, a configuration option for the backlight to be turned off can when the screen is in standby mode). I attached it to the

worked fine in my rating

Fits perfectly with PI. All cables fitted, were long enough - the mounting holes were in place (except for one PI board which was fixed with 3 screws instead of 4 which I would have preferred but that was fine. I added a spacer to position the fourth screw between the circuit board and the back of the screen.) The instructions for booting the PI OS were correct. I followed them and the touch screen worked fine. The screen is clear enough, bright enough - easy to read. I'd like a vented cover…

It's a good 10-inch touchscreen

I bought the touch screen to use with Raspi 4. After only 4 uses, the screen had an approximately 2.5cm wide stripe from the top of the screen across the entire screen. I contacted Revain for a replacement and they contacted Sunfounder. Wendy from Sunfounder contacted me and asked me to make a short video about the issue. I sent video, it was verified and they quickly sent me a replacement screen. It took 4 weeks from my first contact with Revain to receiving the new touch screen. I found this…

I've waited a while to write this review but I have to say it's great! I bought it for a smart mirror but not finished yet.

Great product and responsive support!

This is an absolutely brilliant Raspberry Pi touch display! Our project required a 10.1 inch portrait touch display. Out of the box, this display delivers a sharp and legible image with a resolution of 1280 x 800. Switching to portrait mode required some modifications to the Raspberry Pi's configuration files. I had a problem finding the right parameters and wrote to SunFounder support. SunFounder responded to my support request within 12 hours with a detailed solution. Because of the quality…

I just received this display and everything works. Installing, assembling and setting up the Pi 4 was very easy. The touch works fine. It's probably not the best touch response I've ever used, but I'm very happy with its performance. The only complaint I have is that when the Raspberry Pi goes to sleep and turns off its HDMI output, the display doesn't go to sleep. . Instead, a "no cable" graphic is displayed in the middle of the screen. As far as I can tell, there is no timeout for this…

Almost perfect the best in my rating

My first 10 inch SunFonder screen failed after a day. The replacement display has been working for 3 days. The display looks great and the touchscreen works great. If it goes another week I will buy 2 to use as weather. Advertisements for Tempest WeatherFlow. It's the perfect size and can be viewed from across the room. A competitor's 7-inch screen works well but isn't viewable from more than 3 feet away.

The ideal option would be a wall-mounted option.

Works well and reliably. I use it for the HUD ActionTiles/SmartThings that load automatically on boot with my RaspberryPi 4 - a ridiculously more powerful update for a jailbroken tablet I've used before, and it also allows for some tweaks like: B. switching to a digital picture frame when the HUD has been inactive for some time. The only issue I have is the limited mounting options. I installed a privacy screen where the old alarm panel used to be and had to build a box around it that sticks…

Pretty good for what it is.

The touchscreen is missing at times and you'll have to aim a little lower than expected for typical desktop use, but the larger buttons help a lot. The use as home automation with large buttons and touch surfaces works well.

Hope you have better luck than me.

After about 8 months of use, I can no longer even find out about it. It was a bit unreliable from the start, but has been becoming increasingly unusable lately. I unplugged the HDMI cable and plugged in the 20" cable I had laying around and it works great so it's not my setup.

Stops working after 2 hours

It worked perfectly. But then it said the cable was loose or disconnected and went out. It did and didn't turn back on. I checked all cables. What it takes is a power outage and a reboot. In short, it doesn't work as it should, look elsewhere.
