Worked for a while.

Have had it as a display for my Pi 3b+ for about 2 months. Changing the configuration file makes this work. The screen is beautiful and responsive. However, the display failed (the ribbon cable has burn marks and the components on the back of the board appear defective, with a greenish coating around them). Use a 15W 5V/3A power adapter to power both the Pi and the display. Pi still works. Revain has expired so I have to send it back to China. The cost of returning it makes it impractical. 2…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Dead on Arrival - Single Board Computer

The screen was dead when it arrived. The first problem was that the electricity connection was weak, so the power went out frequently. This has been tested with several different USB cables and is definitely related to the loose connector on the display. When the power supply was actually stable and HDMI was connected to my devices, the screen was either blank or the image was badly corrupted and unusable. This was tested with two different Raspberry Pi 3B+ and my Windows 10 PC, although it is…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • I won't say anything

I was never able to get the plug and play touchscreen to work

I ordered two of these screens and tested them on different RPi hardware but I was never able to get the touchscreen to work. I followed the instructions and even tested different micro USB cables. However, the touchscreens never responded to my finger. I was also a bit disappointed with the placement of the HDMI and micro-USB ports. It didn't seem to have given much thought to how the connector layout might be most convenient for connecting a Raspberry Pi or similar device. The connectors are…

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • No automatic controls

Great little monitor! NOTE: USB REQUIRED

I love this little 5 inch monitor! Installed in the PSU cover of my Phanteks Evolv X. Almost perfect fit! I made a small acrylic frame to fit snugly inside the case. as a stats screen for temperature/power/fan speed control or as a decorative monitor as you see in the photos. Windows sees it as a regular monitor while NVIDIA sees it as a digital display. Connected to my GPU via a 3" HDMI flat cable from the 5" display. NOTE: USB IS REQUIRED TO POWER THE DISPLAY. I know people want a display…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Some issues

Worked with Raspbian on a Pi Zero but had rotation issues.

First, the display is sharp and clear. The touchscreen worked with the latest version of Raspbian on the Pi Zero. This is a better choice (easier to use/integrate into my project - building my only phone) than using a 3.5" TFT display, which would otherwise be connected to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins. I'm integrating with a custom Linux distribution (PiBox) and found that I need to download the hid_multitouch driver for Linux to make it work on my distribution. I love this little display so…

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Modern
