Works on my Mac and PC

The touchscreen is too small to use your fingers, but it can be handy with a stylus. Seems like an unnecessary feature for this size. Generally excellent.

Doesn't work well with the latest Raspberry Pi

I couldn't get it to work on a Raspberry Pi 3 with the latest Raspbian. It shows a thumbnail in the top corner of the screen, regardless of the settings in the config.txt, which have an effect but don't solve the problem. Ironically, the touchscreen works without drivers. The image provided is an older version of Raspbian and will not fit an 8GB card. The display works great as a secondary monitor with my MacBook Pro and with a normally headless Linux server. But for the Pi (which recognizes…

Good product, good packaging

Just received this product a few days ago. Good product, good packaging. It also includes an HDMI cable which is nice to have. I'm currently working on my Raspberry Pi 3B so I can't comment on how the 7 inch LCD works. I'll report back when I've got the system up and running. In general, the buying process is still pleasant.

Don't buy, useless.

I've tried getting this touchscreen to work with a raspberry pi update, a config.txt change, and pretty much every other method. It only renders lines on the screen and could never get an image. The touchscreen works but is useless if you can't see anything. It worked for me once for a brief second that ended with a reboot. I wish the company had better documentation on how it works. Raspberry Pi 3 is here.

DVD or DOC is fine for me

When I moved home I lost the DVD. Could you give me a link or send them to my email so that I can build the LCD driver and install the LCD driver as LCD can't work with Pi3 because the driver is not installed. Thanks!

Used it on a Cryptominer I created. Worked great. Used a couple of zip ties to install it and it was fine. Powered by USB. Thanks for attention.

I do not recommend this product to anyone. I got a replacement screen because the first one I got was broken and I didn't realize it until I removed the protective film.

Great screen, definitely take it with you!

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.

Hassle free to set up, it was easy, just follow the other instructions and edit the configuration.

Setup was hassle free, it was easy, just follow the other instructions and edit the config.txt. The main problem I noticed is that it MUST be powered by RPI3. If you connect one, I mean any other source, it will damage the screen. If it happened to two. From talking to themselves they say it shouldn't be fed more than 1A through RPI3. I'm sure if you use other USB ports on other computers everything is fine. I tried installing a 1.5A DC-AC adapter in a vehicle and it fried the screen. It just…

Works instantly once you know the trick

Comes nicely packaged with HDMI and USB cables and a CD with drivers. Worked straight away when I used it with a MAC laptop. For the Raspberry Pi I had to add the following lines (as suggested by one of the buyers in his/her review) to the config.txt file and it worked like a charm, no driver installation required. The display quality is excellent and very clear. Add the following text at the end of the file: max_usb_current=1hdmi_group=2hdmi_mode=1hdmi_mode=87hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0

There is a scratch on the screen

I just received and opened this screen and when I removed the protective film there was a 3 inch scratch on the screen. This is the second screen I've ordered this way, with scratches on the screen which should be brand new!

Works great as an HDMI display for my security system

I installed this as a security monitor. It works fine after doing some troubleshooting steps. Initially, the system sent a signal in 4K resolution, and the display simply said "No Display". Once I tuned the signal to the correct output resolution, it displayed as expected.

Requires setup on another monitor to use the Pi.

I bought it to use with a Raspberry Pi 3 and an RTL-SDR-HAM radio dongle. A nice little tweak and it works. However, you will need to connect the Pi 3 to another HDMI-capable monitor in order to edit the Pi's configuration file to support using that display. It's counterintuitive at first, but Google has all the answers, and this issue isn't the display manufacturer's fault. I'll get some more for other projects. After the initial setup on a different monitor, everything works as expected.

High quality display, easy to install, works with Raspberry Pi.

Received this ad yesterday. Contrary to the reviews of other users, I am pleasantly surprised. The quality of the mechanical and display graphics is good. The display, including touch, works out of the box when connected to a MacBook and Dell laptop. No drivers are required for a simple installation on the Raspberry Pi, all you need to do is modify the config.txt file on the RPI SD card using a text editor.
