“This little display is a totally brilliant piece of kit. High contrast and brightness, superfast and small enough to use in projects that can't use the raspi original display. The touch screen and display work without a hitch, although there is an issue installing on the latest raspbian stretch.
Nothing a small edit of the installer script couldn't cure! I have three of these displays already!”
“Pros:
Great display and resolution..
Cons:
1.) Lose GPIO Pins- no option for for breadboard work
2.) No cases available to purchase using this display
3.) No Touch screen support for other distros other than Raspbian
I wished they put more effort into releasing better touch support for other distros”
“Developer have worked and created a script for raspbian. But this is what happens under archlinux:
This script will install everything needed to use
HyperPixel4

--> Your operating system is not supported, sorry!
it is a pity....
The hardware is really outstanding and well made. A downside it is that you lost the GPIOs but the I2C has a nice connector.”
“Great little display, very crisp and bright. Nice to have a display with the resolution of the official display but not so big. I use it for a front-end to my 3d printer on a Raspberry Pi A+. The grove I2C connector is a nice touch too.”
“My favourite display for Raspberry Pi, I had the previous version of this display and they have only improved it with this version. A little pricey but worth every penny and you can always go for the non-touch version.”
