Hassle free to set up, it was easy, just follow the other instructions and edit the configuration.

Setup was hassle free, it was easy, just follow the other instructions and edit the config.txt. The main problem I noticed is that it MUST be powered by RPI3. If you connect one, I mean any other source, it will damage the screen. If it happened to two. From talking to themselves they say it shouldn't be fed more than 1A through RPI3. I'm sure if you use other USB ports on other computers everything is fine. I tried installing a 1.5A DC-AC adapter in a vehicle and it fried the screen. It just seems like the screen sometimes went to fritz when used on the rpi3 and wireless usb mini keyboard. It's like typing on the keyboard causes the screen to drop voltage and go blank, making it impossible to watch videos on Kodi. So I tried an external power supply and the screens were broken.

Pros
