👆 ELECROW 7-inch Raspberry Display with 1024x600 Resolution, Touchscreen, Portable, HDMI and HD Support (Product Code: 6453681) Review

I like the crisp display on this screen and the fact that it doesn't vampire my Rasperry Pi 3's GPI0 outputs. The reason I downgraded 2 stars is because I had trouble viewing the output on a clean install of Raspbian Getting stretch out of the box and it draws a lot of power from USB with no way to power it any other way. I first had to edit the config.txt on my desktop computer to force the HDMI output to connect and display the image on this screen. Just uncomment hdmi_force_hotplug=1. Then I

Excellent value for money and quality. Worked out of the box on an old Gateway desktop system running Linux. Excellent color reproduction and high resolution. Not as successful on a mini pc with windows 10, but I suspect I'll need to download the special drivers that come with it on DVD (I don't have a DVD input on the mini pc so I need to download files with a jump drive ) to get the right performance. Here is the mini PC I'm using: Beelink Z83-II Mini PC Intel Atom x5-Z8350 Processor (2M…

The display fits perfectly in my Lian Li O11 Mini Case when used with AIDA64. I replaced the USB and HDMI cables with right angle cables for easier management. It's worth noting that without a signal, the display doesn't go to sleep like a regular computer display. I had to change the BIOS settings to provide USB power after shutdown instead of switching power on every shutdown.

To update! So he sat in the box and is ready to return. DO I understand. But when I was looking for a project on a rainy day I thought "why not try again?" Started with another Pi, brand new distro, updated the config file following the advice in the Revain and Magic reviews! It works and works well. I'm pretty sure it was my fault when I didn't get the screen to work the first time, but now it does. The image is clear and bright. The touchscreen is precise and responsive. Fine! In any case, my

I would give 5 stars but the price was a bit high for what you get. It doesn't come with a screen cover, and some other similar if not exactly the same screens come with it for less money. I added this to a new build and the screen resolution made it impossible to work. I had trouble posting. I had to use my TV to get everything done the way I wanted and then reconnect the Elecrow screen. It works fine for me on Ubuntu and Debian. The touchscreen is a bit wobbly. I would only recommend this…

Got this and hooked it up to my Raspberry Pi 2 and Zero. I entered the information into the configuration file as other reviewers have noted. I had some issues with random white lines and shapes on screen. However, I determined that it was a power issue and got it working by connecting the power supply to the screen and then the screen to the Pi. Then the screen actually feeds the Pi, not the other way around. He downloaded the latest version of Raspian from Pixel with changes to the…

I used this touchscreen panel in my PC case, the full size HDMI on the right hand side was an issue, due to the size of most HDMI ports I had to buy a ribbon cable and right angle connector which wasn't as easy as it sounds as far as the USB power cable goes, i had no choice but to drill a hole in the case but since the cable was so small it wasn't a problem, keep in mind these are just the problems i've encountered. In my case, the product itself is solid, I just thought I'd share my…

Works pretty well and does what I need. I followed the instructions posted by others to get the Pi on screen and it works great. Has a strange function that I can't figure out. I have chosen not to power the screen from the Pi's USB port so that there are no power issues when the Pi is running. But when my power supply is separate, i.e. 1 power supply for the Pi and the other for the screen, nothing shows up on the screen. However, when I have 1 power supply, say a battery with 2 USB ports, and

Well, for what it is, it only seems remotely perfect. My doubts stem from either my stupidity or the difficulty of setting it up. I've tried several times to use NOOBS to setup my raspberry pi on the Elecrow screen but keep getting a white screen. It wasn't until I saw someone answer one of the questions that I knew what to do, how to do it, and it all worked. The manual on the CD was not nearly as simple and concise as his answer. With that in mind, the fact that the images came on a CD rather

Garbage. The display is so loud that it is impossible to use or recognize the text/images on the screen. Tried with the included HDMI cable and some other cables and tested with several PIS and PC, no improvement in display quality. The driver DVD was not read (tried to open from 4 different drives on 4 different systems. All in all I wish I had used a different official Pi touchscreen.

As simple as plugging in a USB and HDMI cable, both of which were included. I connected it to Win 10 (the latest version) and it worked straight away as it should, no drivers were needed.

This screen rocks. Amazing picture quality. Very clear and crisp. Good color rendering. The touch screen is excellent. I got it working fairly easily with my Raspberry Pi B model. I've also used it with Windows 10 on my laptop where it was plug and play and worked like a champ. touchscreen and such. This screen makes my IoT project very easy and professional.

The touch screen works in Windows 10 without drivers, excellent build quality. Very nice as a backup for computer maintenance and low resolution games.

After setting the config.txt, the screen works like a normal screen, but without a touchscreen. If you follow the readme on the floppy disk and install the driver, your installation will be completely blocked and you will have to "burn" the SD image again. This worked fine on 4/16 but not on 4/18.

It's there and lasts longer than the other two screens I've had. I hope this continues for my RPi Zero W system, just every now and then the touchscreen part doesn't work for a while and then decides to work. I couldn't figure out why.

This is a great product for the money. I use it as a chassis mount display for thermal cameras and such on my gaming PC. Excellent purchase!

As long as nobody gets confused. RV's comments were insufficient for me. I actually had to read and follow the instructions on the CD. I had to install the LCD drivers mentioned in one of the documents in the "Documents" folder on the CD to get the LCD working on the Pi, even though I just installed a fresh image. There will be cut/paste or just tapping to make it work.
