Review on 5 5Inch HDMI AMOLED Protection Resolution by Carlos Whitfield

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Gorgeous depiction! It's going to be insanely hot!

Probably one of the nicest AMOLED displays I've seen other than an iPhone. The construction is good, well thought out and clearly designed to have a 3D printed case around it. Ideal for a personal project. A small problem: the display area touches up to 120 degrees. For example, my finger burned when I put it on a hot spot for 5 seconds. It's a combination of two things: turning on OLED displays at full power (white display area) and proximity to certain areas of the motherboard. That's a pretty tragic downside of a great display. Setting up a Raspberry Pi is either easy if you're a Pi veteran or frustrating if you're new to Pi. You edit your Pi's config.txt file heavily to set the HDMI output to match the display's specs. That means you can't arbitrarily disconnect the Pi from that device and then connect it to another HDMI display. It is best to connect to the device via SSH, make changes to the configuration and restart.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive
