7 inch monitor for Raspberry Pi

Not sure why the other people are giving this screen a hard time. Used ChatGPT to troubleshoot. This screen is clear, responsive, and works right out of the box. Using a Raspberry Pi 5, and no issues to report. The only complaint with it, is you can not control the screen brightness through the Raspberry pi OS natively. I believe this because of the way the OS works.Using it for a night stand planner, and I wanted it to auto dim with a light sensor, as well as two buttons on the main screen. After troubleshooting it, I needed to buy a "USB Switch and Multiplexer" to tap into the GPIO. It was 8 bucks, totaling to $41 for the screen and what I need.

First of all the display actually looks quite decent to me, and the touch does work quite well. For the price I feel like you get a heck of a lot of display. I'm sure its great for projects if you're into that with its many mounting holes both on the sides and back.I totally understand its a project monitor so a stand is more of an afterthought, but the legs really could be just a little better. They're slightly different sized for a little wobble (Which I fixed with the included rubber pads thankfully). The nuts to secure the legs aren't too terribly hard with a small pair of pliers. The screws only fit the outside frame and can't mount to the screw holes on the back (because of the exposed caps on the board), which limit the angle you're able to display the monitor. If you the reader are able to get a housing 3D printed that would be ideal.Here's some issues I encountered and the fixes:-Touch not working: It must be plugged into the port labeled "5V + TOUCH", and it needs a quality power source. Some USB ports on a cheaper USB hub I had couldn't deliver enough power to run the touch capability. Try plugging it into a different power source.-Touch interacts with a different monitor on a multi-monitor setup Windows 10: Go to Control Panel, upper right corner switch to "Large Icons" click on "Tablet PC Settings" and click "Setup".

Needed a little touchscreen to monitor a desktop pc that just backs up my office computers. This was a plug and play solution, allowing me to dispense with the keyboard/mouse/and monitor. The picture quality is great, the mounting holes made it easy to attach to the case. The colors look better than in my poor photo, viewing angles are fine.

I wanted this for my widgets so I could see the time, temperature, etc., with a full screen program on the main monitor. works perfectly!

Great screen. Toich was snappy and the resolution was greta. BUT...The 5v and touch feeds back to the PI it killed my PI5. Would have thought there would be diode blockers. Guess not

ordered this being unsure if this was a wise purchase, and now i can see its not, missing the long screws to put on the stand, so now i have no way to make it stand up. So the screen i have been waiting 3 days for is now not usefull till i get all the parts that should have come with it. Either overnight me the screws (and nuts for attaching the base pegs or setup a return.Update....reduced my score to 1 star, as i have gotten ZERO reponse from the seller and now i am left with a screen that won't stand up. This company is GARBAGE for no response and not including all the parts in the first place.NOT RECOMENDED!!

No issues with this product.

Great little monitor! I set it up with my pi 4 4gb model and I’m using it with a program called “solar assistant” which is a touch screen capable program made for the pi.. I bought this monitor so I could keep it next to my solar inverter and have full acsess and data/details of my entire solar setup and for that it’s working great!The only thing that’s not working is the touch screen so I’ve had to use a wireless mouse. I’m not sure why! I either got a bad screen or I’m doing something wrong.I have the Micro USB plugged into the “touch screen” power port but I’m currently powering the screen from a USB power bank.. i don’t see why the power bank could be causing this issue? I thought maybe it’s the cord I’m using so I will try and different cord and report back.As for the screen.. The screen is very well made, had a nice feel to it and is thicker than I thought which is a good thing as it’s less fragile than I thought:. The brightness is plenty (this is something I worried about as there is no brightness control) but trust me.. it’s plenty bright. I have only used it with my Pi 4 so far but the quality of the screen feels very good and it’s vibrant and easy to see in the sun or under bright lights.Overall I would buy this screen again for the $32 I paid for it. I just wish I could get the touch screen working.The only CON: I wish this particular screen had a power switch because as far as I can tell there is no stand by mode.. so if you leave it on for too long with the same image displayed your prolly gonna burn the image into the monitor: it woulda been nice to have a small switch to flip just the screen off when you know your not gonna be using it for an extended period of time.. then just flipping it on when you come back to it leaving your pi/or computer powered on.In my case my pi needs to stay powered as it needs to log data from the program I run so this is a bummer for me.Aside from those 2 things this is a 5/5 screen for the money!PS. Look online for 3d printed screen cases.. I found mine on thingyverse and after some slight modifications it fit perfect!
