Fantastic budget screen for general use

While the written instructions for this product didn't inspire much confidence that I would end up with a working, functional project, it didn't at all. I built a small photo booth for my wedding using a Raspberry Pi 4, a Pi Camera, a small SSD drive, arcade buttons and a custom case using this touch panel display. The resolution wasn't the most impressive, but it served the purpose of the project. It could display general instructions, reflect camera feedback, and show the user a composite image. It has been a huge hit with children and many adults have used it too. I'm not sure if it will be of any use. Detailed display for normal computer work. My fingers felt a bit too big to move around the Raspbian OS UI, and I'm not sure why the stylus was included. I am very happy with the integration of this product into my project and intend to revise it in another project. for home use.
