Review on Compatible Touchscreen 5Inch DSI Display by Omar Card

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for tight project enclosures

I bought this panel because I was building custom PTZ camera controls and had previously bought some low quality DSI flat panel displays, some of which had power connectors on the end of the panel. and as a result I scrapped the first project cases and built new ones (cutting the structure support to move the monitor) because otherwise I couldn't place the joystick next to the monitor. desired plates. Since they are powered by the Pi and not the other way around, they fit the bill perfectly. The only thing I don't like about these panels unlike others is the way they are attached. They have to be attached from the back, which makes them very cumbersome because you basically have to cut out some plastic strips, attach them to the back of the panel, find pins at the right height, and attach the other ends of the plastic strips to the inside of the project case. This product would be much, much better if they made the board a bit larger with mounting holes going through the board to make it convenient to mount in a case. framework. Unfortunately, none of the flat screens I've found are perfect. Either they use HDMI with separate power connectors on the bottom, or they have mandatory power connectors on the ends, or they are so difficult to install and some are a combination of the above. Please create a push-through version of this panel. Raspberry Pi lovers will love you forever.
