Pros
  • When used as a computer monitor, supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7, five point touch and driverless
Cons
  • Zero

That does not work. on single board computers

I just got this and tried to connect it to my Raspberry Pi following the instructions. I have many multicolored lines on the screen but no image. I added the lines to the configuration file as I said: max_usb_current=1hdmi_group=2hdmi_mode=87hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0 I connected it to my win 10 laptop and the touch driver works but the screen doesn't work. It starts out white and slowly draws vertical gray lines across it. I've tried just plugging in a USB power source with no HDMI connection

Pros
  • Supports popular mini PCs like Raspberry Pi as well as general desktops
Cons
  • No

Great, but more than you think.

I made a mistake, I was greedy. After seeing the variety of capacitive touchscreens currently available, I chose the largest I felt I needed. It's a responsive, good display that feels a bit washed out due to the limited use I've had it in so far.

It may be necessary (when used with Pi and Raspbian) to edit the configuration. txt in the root of the SD card to…

Pros
  • Working with Raspberry Pi, supports Raspbian/Ubuntu/Kali/Retropie/WIN10 IOT, no drivers
Cons
  • Some flaws
