That's exactly what I wanted

I bought it to build my own tablet. It will be 3 inches thick and weigh a good 8 pounds but it will have great resolution, it will work with my bore, the battery will last all day and I can upgrade it at any time and never have to worry about it. becomes the end of life. He looks and works like a champ. No complaints here.

Good product: my review

I bought it to connect to my Pi400. That works great! It's way better than I expected. The panel is well designed, the screen is bright and has a decent resolution, the touchscreen works great, the power button turns the Pi on, and the manual is pretty good.

Touch screen does not work

It doesn't work and the cables are a bit flimsy. Also, they said they would send a replacement cable that would activate the touchscreen, but that would take up to thirty days. The staff was friendly via email but I didn't have time as I have a tight deadline.

LOOKS GOOD, DOESN'T WORK!

I've spent hours and hours trying to get the touchscreen to work! I called tech support and they sent me a request for a photo and video of my wiring. I sent a picture of the 5 pin connector and noticed that it differs from their picture. I was constantly put off and promised to send something by mail. it said "Did you receive our package?" After seeing that they only put me off until the warranty expired, I gave up!

Overall the screen works great with the Raspberry Pi. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to turn off the screen backlight while the screen is sleeping. It could be a setting in Raspbian that causes it to glow slightly while sleeping.

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.

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.

Excellent quality and no dead pixels

The touch screen is well packaged, assembly is very easy. It is used on Raspberry Pi 4 and does not require additional drivers for better screen resolution and touch screen.

Good screen for Raspberry Pi

Good screen and perfect for installing and using with Raspberry Pi. Although it's caseless it's fragile and vulnerable so it's worth considering how you're going to mount it.

Nice set and fun.

Exactly what I was hoping for. Well packaged, clean, has everything you need. Added my Pi 4 and it works as expected. Note: The book says that the touchscreen might not work if Raspbiam was installed with NOOBS, but it works fine for me.

No external protective case

The reason I give 2 stars is because when I bought the item or product I didn't realize they didn't offer outdoor protection.

Great product in my review

Great experience, ready to use, picture quality is great, touchscreen functions work as expected. The brightness and sharpness of the display are amazing. Use with Windows 10 as a touchscreen includes long screen standoffs so it lays flat even without a Raspberry Pi. I just have to make a board to set them up so they sit about 45 degrees. At the moment there are no complaints.

Bad LVDS cable, SunFounder sent a replacement quickly!

UPDATE: SunFounder sent me a new cable! Great company, very responsive and fast! Received the device but also received a bad LVDS cable. I have purple flickering along the left side of the screen. When I play with the LVDS cable I can do a little better and it changes from purple to white.

SunFounder's customer support guarantee is two-way.

SunFounder didn't provide a 4-pin touchscreen USB cable, so of course the touchscreen can't work. They "guarantee" that they will contact the buyer within 60 minutes. I've been waiting for almost two weeks and they still have NOT answered me. You just have to tell me how to buy a cable. The device may be great, but SunFounder lacks integrity; If they don't contact me I'll have to return a potentially good product for only $3 cable. I strongly recommend staying away from the SunFounder line of…

Nice little touchscreen monitor

Works exactly as I hoped it would with my Pi 400. I wish it had an option for a case, but I knew what I was buying when I bought it. The touch screen is great too.

  • Never

I bought the 10" touchscreen version. It's a good screen, but the touchscreen components failed after a week on one device and after a day on the second device. There was a hardware problem, I even did a fresh install of NOOB performed to check if it's a driver issue. The touch chipset shows up in dmesg but there seems to be something wrong with the digitizer's internal screen/port forward connection of the USB interface. I'm sad because it was a good package, have to go elsewhere for my…

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.
