Review on Kuman Display Monitor Protective Raspberry 3.5", 60Hz, Touchscreen, ‎Kuman TFT Touch Screen, LCD by Travis Freeman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Won't install on NOOBS, having trouble getting the GUI on a clean install of Raspbian.

It looks like a good device but I'm having some issues with it. Small note: the HDMI jumper doesn't quite fit, I had to undo the screws that attach the Pi to the bottom of the included case to even get the jumper connected, and even then it's tight. I tried installing this on a Pi originally set up with NOOBS which resulted in a system crash. I had to reinstall Raspbian to get it to boot again. This time I installed using the Raspbian download, not NOOBS. I installed the stretched version. I unzipped the attached files and then ran LCDShow on a 3.5 inch screen. It has restarted and is now running in text mode with no GUI. I'm an experienced Linux system administrator/programmer.
