Review on ELECROW RC050S: 5" Capacitive Touchscreen Raspberry Monitor - Portable & High Resolution (800X480P) by Stephen Ibarra

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product after figuring out how to program it.

I bought this for an iOT project I'm working on with a Raspberry PI 4. I had to rotate the screen 270 degrees (which I did) but couldn't figure out how to get the touchscreen to swap the x/y axis. The calibration tool didn't work for this. I googled but all the advice was wrong. I emailed Elecrow but they didn't help - they just referred me to a blog that didn't solve the problem. I was finally able to figure it out myself and get it working. I am satisfied with the performance and quality. I like that it has sound. The only thing I would change (apart from more detailed instructions) is that the HDMI adapter fits into the PI4's second HDMI port.
