Review on GeeekPi Capacitive 800X480 Raspberry BeagleBone by Michael Cox

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Dead on Arrival - Single Board Computer

The screen was dead when it arrived. The first problem was that the electricity connection was weak, so the power went out frequently. This has been tested with several different USB cables and is definitely related to the loose connector on the display. When the power supply was actually stable and HDMI was connected to my devices, the screen was either blank or the image was badly corrupted and unusable. This was tested with two different Raspberry Pi 3B+ and my Windows 10 PC, although it is also worth noting that this was completely without connections. No HDMI cable, no power cord, nothing. Just an old screen. The thing is absolute garbage. I sent it back as soon as I received it. Don't waste money.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • I won't say anything
