Excellent mountable touch screen for Raspberry Pi

I bought one of these monitors to use in my home projects and I really liked it. I have used the monitor successfully with both a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a Pi Zero 2W. The default Raspbian desktop image works with one screen (including touch) out of the box. The screen quality is excellent for viewing photos and videos given the small size. The screen is also very responsive and the sensor works well. I used a Belkin power meter to determine that the monitor and Pi Zero 2 together draw about 4.0 watts when playing video, so not using much power. There are screen printed indicators on the back of the screen indicating where to place the various Raspberry Pis. I ended up installing it slightly differently to fit the case I designed and 3D printed. I like all the extras that came with the kit. The kit contains almost everything you need to start the screen. It has a pen/stylus for touch interaction if your fingers are too big (like mine) and a screen protector. It comes with HDMI, USB and power cables on the back of the monitor, making it easy to install in a case. The kit also includes cables for the side ports, including a USB-A Male to Micro-B USB adapter and full-length cable, as well as an HDMI cable and a 5V 3A power adapter. Customer support is also very helpful. I contacted support with questions and request for a drawing to use in designing my case and they were very nice and helpful. They responded quickly and were able to send me exactly what I needed. PS Some photos look like they have vertical lines, but that has something to do with the lighting and my camera. The screen looks great.
