Review on GeeekPi Capacitive 800X480 Raspberry BeagleBone by Allen Wagner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little monitor! NOTE: USB REQUIRED

I love this little 5 inch monitor! Installed in the PSU cover of my Phanteks Evolv X. Almost perfect fit! I made a small acrylic frame to fit snugly inside the case. as a stats screen for temperature/power/fan speed control or as a decorative monitor as you see in the photos. Windows sees it as a regular monitor while NVIDIA sees it as a digital display. Connected to my GPU via a 3" HDMI flat cable from the 5" display. NOTE: USB IS REQUIRED TO POWER THE DISPLAY. I know people want a display that only uses an HDMI cable for power, but to do this you MUST plug the USB into an available USB port and connect it via HDMI. For the EVOLV X case I used a 3 foot braided USB cable and a 3 foot HDMI flat cable. Would happily buy it again if I needed/wanted it!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Some issues
