Review on πŸ“Ί Waveshare 7inch HDMI LCD (C) Capacitive Touch Screen Display: Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B/3 B+ 2B/B+/B/A, BeagleBone Black, Banana Pi/Pro - Video & Photo Kit by Owen Blanco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Image burn-in <10 minutes use on 7 "(c)

I highly recommend avoiding the 7"(c) display. I ordered this because capacitive screens are easier to use to select items on the screen. If I had bought a resistive type I would have to press a little harder. I actually have a 5" resistor so I know the difference. This display was supposed to be used for my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ but I had to move it again. I'm just not happy with this product. The reason is image burn-in .whichever screen I've been on the longest, its faint image stays there. I've even tried leaving it off for 6 hours and the image is still burned into the display. The main reviewer has published his own code, to add it to the 7(c) display configuration file; its code didn't work and made the screen flicker. The factory code for the screen works better but doesn't matter because the display is outdated. Please look at my photo, you see 3 visible fire layers.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Minor issues
