Review on ๐Ÿ‘† Top-Rated Raspberry NORSMIC Touchscreen: Responsive, Compatible 10.1" with 1024X600P, Built-In Speakers, and Touch Screen by Michael Nard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than the official Raspberry Pi 7 inch display

The display quality is excellent. Sound quality is acceptable (it's nice to have built-in audio support via HDMI). The touch screen works well. The extra cables included make it easy to assemble a compact unit. Power consumption is ok. I use mine for a small, battery-powered setup based on the Pi Zero 2. There are a few caveats that make this monitor perform better. Backlight intensity, speaker volume, and other display-related configuration items are accessible via five buttons on the back of the board (just like a traditional HDMI monitor), allowing you to expose those buttons in your builds.2. Raspbian doesn't natively support a native monitor resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels (at least as far as I can tell). By default, my Pi set the output to 720x480 pixels, which is a bit tight and also caused the touchscreen calibration to go a bit off. With the configuration software you can set other resolutions like 800x600 or 1024x768 pixels which is slightly better but you can also change /boot/config.txt as below to set the native resolution to 1024x600 pixels. In this case, the touch matched exactly, and the picture is very clear. For a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, edit /boot/config.txt as root with your favorite editor (like nano or vim) and either comment out or add the following lines. Save the file and reboot and you should be working at the native resolution.
