Review on πŸ–₯️ Smraza 5 Inch Touch Screen: High-Definition 800x480 IPS-TFT Display, Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B 3B+ 3B by Gabe Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice little display, more detailed instructions can be used

The result is a nice compact display/Raspberry Pi system. The stylus worked well on the touchscreen. The assembly instructions were minimal and didn't explain what to do with some of the parts. For example, black plastic strips and a longer display cable. A few things weren't mentioned, like the display's screw mounts, which are covered in yellow plastic that needs to be removed before you can install the board mounts and feet. One deviation I made during the build was that I didn't want to pry off my large heatsinks that were already installed on my Raspberry Pi 4B and replace them with the small flat one that came with it. So I added 4 racks to increase the height of the fan and take away the larger heatsinks. I had these standoffs from a PC motherboard kit and they matched the standoff threads that came with them. Another little digression I made was to use pieces of duct tape to temporarily hold the 4 bolts in place while I started tightening the nuts. Parts in the last photo.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Power socket required
