WARNING! Does the USB port output 12V?

WARNING! The USB connector on the board itself outputs 12V directly! and will cook any pi connected to it, it immediately disabled the pi i connected to it which cost me more than the screen costs!

Great option for Raspberry Pi

Works well with my RPi 3. Everything is attached to the back of the display and the power from the display powers my RPi, saving me one less cable to use. My version didn't come with a case, but others who bought the same product did.

Screen not powering Pi 3 B+

The screen is fine, but the power connector between the screen and the Pi does not provide enough power to turn on the Pi. So you need a power cord for both the screen and the PI.

Excellent quality suits me

Easy to use. Dropped Ubuntu on my Pi 4 and it booted right away. Great screen. Satisfactory graphics. It would be nice to have a kit with a longer power cord and back to the unit. But functionally I like it 100%

Great screen for any project

Very happy with this purchase. The display is sharp and bright even outdoors. It's easy to mount the Pi from the back. Powers Pi4 with no problems. The touch screen responds. The screen and body are solid. Got a great deal on Prime Day.

Great touchscreen Pi option

Worked with Raspberry Pi 4 with no problems. Found a 3D model on Thingiverse for home printing of a VESA mount case. Find the Solar Founder

Excellent touch screen for RPi 4B

This touchscreen is big enough to run an on-screen keyboard with a terminal window and browser. The screen is very bright. The glass is very hard, smooth and easy to clean.

need a case No VESA mount

One Q&A said the VESA mount was on the back, the other wasn't. No is the correct answer. Need options other than the 3D printed stand. I would like to use a VESA mount housing as a touchscreen controller in my shop. The integration with PI 4B worked great. If necessary, you can use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Hope you have better luck than me.

After about 8 months of use, I can no longer even find out about it. It was a little unreliable from the start, but has been becoming increasingly unusable lately. I unplugged the HDMI cable and plugged in the 20" cable I had laying around and it works great so it's not my setup.

well suited for use with Raspberry Pi 4

This touchscreen kit has been carefully designed to *hold* and *charge* your Raspberry Pi. (4V in my case). Plenty of power from the power supply and well-organized cables with secure attachment for the Raspberry Pi motherboard. The touch screen works great. It receives HDMI video from the Pi and generates touch events over a USB cable connected to the Pi. Good quality box and instructions.

Excellent screen, the best in my rating

I love my new screen, it was easy to set up and worked straight away. I also bought a black A1 Lamicoll iPad stand from Revain and the screen fits perfectly. I would recommend this setting.

Looks great, stopped working after 1 day.

It was great for about a day. I connected it to a Pi3 and the display looked great and the touch input worked great. After it didn't work and was connected to the Pi for about 24 hours, the display went blank and the backlight stayed on and off. I connected the Pi to another HDMI display and it worked without any issues, which ruled out Pi issues. I connected the display to another computer and it is not recognized as a display device.

Pretty good for what it is.

The touchscreen is missing at times and you'll have to aim a little lower than expected for typical desktop use, but the larger buttons help a lot. The use as home automation with large buttons and touch surfaces works well.

great screen first, lousy support!

I bought this screen for a project, it works great! However, when the screen controller failed shortly after purchase, it was impossible to get support from the company. Note that the manufacturer's warranty will not be honored. The only way to get support is via email and they are not very responsive to requests. I have yet to get a response from their support team after emailing them asking to replace the control board.
