    Very nice display but requires some setup to run on Raspberry.

    The screen is very solid, the box is very well thought out, it has all the elements you need to work with the Raspberry Pi 4 out of the box, the RP3 connectors have to be ordered separately. I wish I had an extension cable for the MicroSD card because once you mount the RP4 behind the screen it becomes difficult to access the screen, also you should consider buying a large heatsink as this is not the case . I have one with speakers and while the sound isn't the best, the small speakers are very

    • Missing OSD functions

    I used this in my PC case to monitor timings and such with the Aida64 app. It works GREAT! It's a little bigger than I thought it would be in my case, but I'm glad I bought it because of course it's a better read than the smaller size. Of course, all the functions described are available. I use the HDMI output for my GPU and then extend my main desktop to it in Win 11, drag an Aida touchpad window onto it and fix the position. I set Aida64 to start at Windows startup, so it just turns on and…

    Good screen, great service

    I ordered this screen to create a compact Raspberry PI setup. That's exactly what he does. The RaspPI is attached directly to the back of the screen and interacts very compactly with the included adapter. I wanted to be able to use either PI 3 or 4. The device comes with adapters to connect directly to 4, but you can request adapters for PI 3 for free. I did and they were delivered in no time. . All communication with them was answered very quickly and courteously. I recommend this device.

    The screen doesn't turn off on the PC like the 5" version I have, so it has to be turned off manually every time you put the computer to sleep, very annoying once you get used to that it turns itself off. also difficult to install on a PC case where you need access to turn it off

    Don't buy this: my review

    I received it but I also used it but it is very fragile. Get one with a case if you don't have it sealed in one place. I asked if they sell it with a case and they didn't. I also tried exchanging it for another one, nothing. Just don't give them your business.

    Although it comes with legs, it does not have a back cover and requires panel mounting. Works great for my security monitor.

    Easy setup, easy to use, works well

    I received this as a wearable screen to use with RetroPie. It's small enough to carry around, big enough for high visibility, and the fact that it comes with speakers is a bonus too. It even has physical controls on the side for volume and screen brightness, which I haven't seen on most other screens I've tested. It was pretty easy to set up and comes with a small screwdriver, you don't even need any tools. I chose not to mount my Pi on the back of the screen, but it does have a mount point if…

    Ideal for demonstrating PC monitoring software

    I set up this display as a secondary display for my PC and it works fine. I use it to display information like temperature, clock speed, usage, etc. to keep track of how my computer is doing. Overall I'm impressed. I'd like a power button or switch on the display itself, but otherwise no complaints (maybe there's a power button and I just don't see it)

    Touchscreen not working yet

    The screen works fine with the Raspberry Pi, but when I connect the touch interface I get a low voltage warning on the Pi and the touchscreen doesn't work. The Pi's power supply is 5V 3.5A and the monitor's power supply is 5V 2.4A, although I don't know how to verify that.
