Review on Waveshare 7Inch Capacitive Touch Display For Raspberry Pi 800X 480 Resolution With Protection Case DSI Interface by Jonathan Jensen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing touch screen for Raspberry Pi!

I tested several touch screens for my Pi, which also controls my 3D printer and acts as a touch interface for it. They were all HDMI with touch GPIO, and even with the drivers installed, they never fitted the screen properly, they would have clipped windows, and touch/multi-touch is impossible without the tiny stylus you lose with every twist. Pus. Don't let me start the adventures required just to track down the drivers from time to time. This ad was OPPOSITE. I connected the jumper cable to the Pi4's DSI port and powered it on. that was it. Raspbian worked great with the responsive "FINGER" touchscreen, the desktop matched the screen, nothing was clipped, and colors looked rich and vibrant. I highly recommend. It's not for nothing that the Pi4 has a DSI/CSI interface for the display and camera. so USE IT! :)

Pros
  • Capacitive touch; 5- Touch Points.
Cons
  • I don't really like it, everything is fine
