Great buy for case, fan, screen and heatsink

First, the screen is premium and the fan is already installed. I don't have to think about where and how. So that's a plus for me. The case is well made and comes with a lid. It is in my photo but not in the description. Another big plus. Let me remove the screen and get a 100% headless pi and use the screen on another pi. However, the fan is attached to the screen. It can be removed, but it's glued, and I don't do that. Drivers are also easy to install. These are standard touchscreen LCD…

Good cover, but it gets warm and instructions are missing

This is a good case and works as advertised. You only need one use case for a tiny 3.5 inch screen. It currently works without a screen and actually looks cooler than with the screen and fan. The SD card also broke during assembly. Your instructions should have been to remove the SD card from the RPi4 before putting it in the case because leaving it in will break the case. You can think of a small screen application but other than that you get normal cases for less money.

My review is of good quality.

Works well, although I wish it was compatible with Ubuntu. The bracket is too short for this, causing the fan to stick to the heatsink if too much pressure is applied to the display. But for the price it's ok.

Works well if you spend a lot of time playing with drivers

The screen works well but as others have said it requires a lot of driver tweaking and the instructions aren't great. They assume that some dependencies are already installed, so some additional steps are required. Also, and this may have been a coincidence, the github repo required a password, so using git-clone didn't work, I had to download it from the website and then ssh upload it from my laptop to the device. Once you have everything placed, the device works fine.

What are the pros of JUN-ELECTRON 3.5 inch Raspberry Touchscreen Display Monitor, 320X480 Resolution - E361?
  • The screen needs to install the driver, otherwise the screen is ONLY white. If you don't know how to install the driver, please try to install the driver system first to check if the screen images work.

Exactly what I needed at the right price

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with Peppy Player. The screen provides the user interface for the device. It does exactly what I need and I am completely satisfied.

Cheap plastic case with monitor

I wish it was aluminum instead of cheap plastic, other than that it works great. It comes with a set of screws, heatsink and a fan.

  • Absolute legend
What negative qualities does JUN-ELECTRON 3.5 inch Raspberry Touchscreen Display Monitor, 320X480 Resolution - E361 possess?
  • Expensive

The instructions are simple and it works just as well as any other 3.5 inch GPIO touch screen. The case is slim and compact, but doesn't have much airflow to use the included fan. The included heatsinks are a nice touch.
