Review on Enhanced 5 inch 800480 Resistive Touch Screen for Raspberry Pi: HDMI Interface, Raspbian Compatible, Ideal Video & Photo Display Module by XYGStudy by Franklin Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with Raspberry Pi 3.

Works well with Raspberry Pi 3. At first I had a problem with the touch screen. I used to have kernel panics. But I solved it by editing the cmdline.txt file before rebooting. For screen resolution, just follow the instructions to change /boot/config.txt. Once installed, do not use the sudo ./lcd-show command (otherwise you will get a kernel panic), just go to /home/pi/Downloads/LCD-show or any other location of your file. Open this folder and edit the cmdline.txt file. from "root=/dev/mmcblkop2" to - "root=/dev/mmcblkop7" . Then you give commands like dpkg. and the latest sudo ./lcd show. It reboots without kernel panics and the touchscreen works with raspberry pi 3 (Jessie was installed via noobs). This is a great little screen.

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models
