The display doesn't work

I really want to love this display. The Raspberry Pi 3b+ can be easily attached to the display. It doesn't work with my MacBook or Raspberry Pi (see photo)

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • I won't say anything

The display works but the touchscreen doesn't

The screen works as advertised. The touch aspect of the display doesn't work as advertised. Cooperation with Waveshare for troubleshooting. Looks like a hardware problem with the device itself

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • So-so

Screen is bright and works great

Works great for my app that just shows various stats about my PC while it's running. I don't use screen input so I can't comment on how well this works, but I would recommend it to anyone doing a similar project.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Some flaws

Exactly as advertised Good for single board computers

This small screen was exactly what I was looking for. My desktop is relatively small and doesn't give me enough space to mount multiple full-size monitors. It's great to get that extra monitor out of the way for reference and specs. I might even buy a second one in the future.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • There are cons

Works great

Connected to Windows 10 and ready to go. I checked their website and wasn't sure about the wattage requirements, but it works fine at 2.4 amps. Unfortunately, the Raspberry Pi didn't work out of the box. The display just sat there with a blinking green light. Until I visited the Waveshare wiki and found that I needed to create a new Raspbian image with specific options in the config.txt. This is an unusual display and requires an unusual configuration. Ideal for PC thermal monitoring. Superโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computer and accessories
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
