Beautiful but breaks easily

Absolutely the best little display I've ever seen. Great colors. But the screen is easy to break if not very careful. I tried it but it still broke. Another problem is that on a computer with three frame-corrected monitors, the NVIDIA drivers don't rotate the screen properly either. Disabling frame correction might make it work again. Just something to think about for SIM drivers trying to use this screen as a dashboard.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • For seniors

Not suitable as a consumer HDMI video monitor

I think almost everything has been written about this monitor except the ability to use it as a TV or video monitor. Although (too) often stated otherwise, this is not 1920x1080, but 1080x1920. Is it important? Yes, unfortunately! For example camcorders, televisions,. There is no configuration file to change the output orientation. So in those cases, the ad is just garbage. Until recently, the Waveshare wiki showed incorrect information.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • This makes me nervous

Not used as a consumer video monitor HDMI

I think quite a bit has been written about this monitor other than that it can be used as a TV or video monitor. Although (too) often stated otherwise, this is not 1920x1080, but 1080x1920. Is it important? Yes, unfortunately! For example camcorders, televisions,. There is no configuration file to change the output orientation. So in those cases, the ad is just garbage. Until recently, the Waveshare wiki showed incorrect information.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Obsolete model

It's 1080 x 1920, not 1920 x 1080

This is a very nice display, but note that the native resolution is NOT 1920 x 1080, which is 1920 pixels WIDTH and 1080 pixels HEIGHT. Rather, it's 1080px HIGHT and 1920px WIDTH - more like a phone display than a computer display. If you use it as intended with a flexible device like a computer or PI, it doesn't matter as these devices can adapt. But if you're thinking of using this for something inflexible like a satellite receiver, set top box, DVD or BluRay player, or AHD to HDMI adapter…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Gorgeous depiction! It's going to be insanely hot!

Probably one of the nicest AMOLED displays I've seen other than an iPhone. The construction is good, well thought out and clearly designed to have a 3D printed case around it. Ideal for a personal project. A small problem: the display area touches up to 120 degrees. For example, my finger burned when I put it on a hot spot for 5 seconds. It's a combination of two things: turning on OLED displays at full power (white display area) and proximity to certain areas of the motherboard. That's a…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive

5.5 WORKS WITH Raspberry Pi, just not out of the box

Edit 2: I really liked Waveshare for their hardware, but now I like them for their response to queries and problems. I'll give you another star. Their time zone is different from mine, but they came back to me every night with updates and suggestions. Edit 1: I'm updating my review because I screwed up. This screen comes in a cardboard box with foam cut outs for shipping. I didn't realize there was a small piece of styrofoam stuck in the HDMI output jack. I was able to very gently pull the foam
