Review on Enhance Your Raspberry Pi Experience With ELECROW'S 5 Inch Touchscreen Monitor - HDMI Compatible With Multiple Devices! by Darrell Kiley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works, with small issues

I installed this touch screen on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. If you're familiar with linux command line tools, setup will be pretty straightforward. They should provide a link to the config.txt settings so you can paste it instead of typing all that stuff.Issues:* A lightning bolt and an OS message tell me that I don't have enough power, although it runs. My power supply is produces 5V/2500mA. I guess I'll need a second power supply for the touchscreen.* The pi and touchscreen get a bit warm. This is probably normal.* The resistive touch is a little less sensitive on the edges. For example, it's a not easy to access a scrollbar using your finger.Graphics are good enough for my purposes. It's a decent little touchscreen.
