Review on ๐Ÿ“บ High-Resolution ElecLab Raspberry Pi Touchscreen Monitor with Speaker Bracket - Perfect for Raspberry Pi 4B 3B+ 3B 3A+ 2B A+ B+ by Owoeye Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great touchscreen, crisp, responsive and very bright

This screen has been great so far, it's bright and responsive and looks great. I haven't tried the speakers yet, but I will soon. The only two downsides are: * The Raspberry Pi's built-in brightness/backlight control doesn't work (/sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/*) * The DSI cable used is reverse-pinned from the official Pi display, so you can Do not use Pi FFC cables to extend this display. You need cables with both connectors on the same side of the cable (Type A) as opposed to standard cables which have one on each side (Type B). I used sandpaper to expose the pins on the other side of my 150mm FFC, but you can find the correct ones for this display on Amazon (Uxcell 150mm, 1mm spacing, 15mm FFC should work).

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
