Nice little screen, works great with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

Image quality and viewing angles are quite good, color representation and contrast are also good, only the brightness is low. I connected this screen to a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and it is installed in a Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL computer case. So far I've used it to play random videos and show pictures just for fun :-)

Not as big as in the photo

It's significantly smaller than it looks in the picture, closer to the size of the Kindle Paperwhite. I had some trouble setting it up and it's not my first screen. It was pretty uncomfortable. But once I set it up I was happy with it. It works well.

A square spotlight in my dark room.

Ha gosh I wouldn't use this for gaming but the ease of installation and the brightness, color and saturation are spot on. Problem: There is no way to always dim the screen at full power.

Quality Company - my new rating

Excellent customer support and a company behind their products. We had a small problem and it was fixed immediately. I will look for more of their products. The screen is great for what we need.

Great little screen!

This is a very cool little screen that you can use to incorporate a touchscreen into many different projects. Alternatively, you can make a very compact emergency IT troubleshooting cart. Or run a dedicated small monitor for your computer to display video. or a dozen other possibilities. There is a separate USB power input, but power can also be supplied via the touchscreen cable. USB-C connection instead of Micro-USB.

Good but not great. does the job

Works for what I want it for. And it works. It's not the best quality, I've seen tablets with better resolutions, but it's still good for smaller projects. And it's pretty convenient. Would buy again if it came with an 8 euro case. Unfortunately I had to buy another Case product, tweak it and get it working.

  • Ideal for small applications.
What are the cons of SunFounder Portable Raspberry Touchscreen – HD 1024X600?
  • The monitor takes too long to turn on.

The protective film on the screens is very easy to miss - thought I had two scuffed screens until I finally noticed and now they are perfect. Unlike other/legacy devices, these screens work correctly with Raspberry Pi DPMS and sleep and wake up correctly when touched.

Pay attention to the size description

The hand in the photo implies a MUCH larger size than the actual screen. I needed a 7 inch screen so it suits me. If you need a bigger screen or don't understand the actual size of a 7 inch screen, please read on. The hand in the main photo must be the size of an eraser to fit a 7 inch screen of the same size.

No longer works. 2 months of life.

Mine lasted about a month and a half before blown. No case added, maybe a problem. Worked well before, but for the price I wish it would last longer.

Ideal for mining

I set it as my main monitor on the PC so the scripts run there when reloaded off site and are easy to see in great quality. Consumes up to 3 watts per hour if that's the case
