Review on πŸ‘† ELECROW 7-inch Raspberry Display with 1024x600 Resolution, Touchscreen, Portable, HDMI and HD Support (Product Code: 6453681) by Chris Bos

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Clear screen, no drivers

Got this and hooked it up to my Raspberry Pi 2 and Zero. I entered the information into the configuration file as other reviewers have noted. I had some issues with random white lines and shapes on screen. However, I determined that it was a power issue and got it working by connecting the power supply to the screen and then the screen to the Pi. Then the screen actually feeds the Pi, not the other way around. He downloaded the latest version of Raspian from Pixel with changes to the configuration file. However, I can't get the touchscreen to work. The driver CD that came with the package is actually a Microsoft Office installation CD, so it doesn't help me much. From what others are saying there aren't any drivers other than using images from the CD so I'll probably be returning this one. I give it three stars because the picture is sharp and clear. When I connected it to my Windows 10 laptop it worked great as a second screen and the touchscreen worked flawlessly. Another feature I see on this screen is that there is a slider on the back to turn the backlight on and off. Being able to turn it on and off from the Pi might be useful.
