Review on ELECROW 7" Portable Raspberry Touchscreen - CapACitIve, 1024X600 Resolution by Marcelo Farmer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's alright, I think, in my mind

I was very excited when this arrived, plugged it into my Pi 4, initially installed 64-bit Raspbian (Pi OS) and the screen said 'not supported' so I was like 'ok sure that 32-bit -Raspbian will work, right? I mean, at least it's advertised." Well, I flashed my SD card with 32-bit Raspbian (Pi OS) and got a solid black screen, only this time the screen started flickering constantly during boot and never showed me an image. So at this point I was at odds. I decided to try Lineage OS 18.1 to run Android 11 and finally I got an image but my screen is still flickering about every 20-30 seconds, not as bad as Pi OS but it still shouldn't happen..The included stand and speakers are a nice touch.The stand works great but the speakers wheeze at any noticeable volume.

Pros
  • USB, HDMI
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...
