I had a problem with my Presto, but I received quick and good help from Pimoroni Support. Very satisfied with my Presto and Pimoroni!

Very good quality display and looks the part. I got it to use as an album art/track title display for a Wiim mini streamer. Does the job really well and I am very pleased with it. I guess being a touch display it could be made to do more but I am pleased it just being a display.

This is a really well-made, well-thought-out smart display. I plan to use it for my home heating control and data display. The documentation (as usual) is excellent. I'm very pleased to have got a Cyber Monday discount as well. Well done, Pimoroni!

Nice smart display that doesn't look out of place in a domestic environment. Bad parts: needs more weight at the back to prevent it toppling forwards. The USB port is poorly placed so that the cable will always be prominent. Would be improved by an ambient light sensor on the front so that the brightness can be moderated in software. Python examples are minimal -- useful but no substitute for a proper tutorial and API reference. Too many of them assume you have the full starter pack rather than the bare unit. It would be nice if all the examples (and tutorial and API ref) were duplicated in C++.

It's a very neat device. Easy to program in Python with Thonny. I have mine currently showing the UK electricity energy mix. I would prefer it to have a few i/o pins rather than having to use a separate i2c device for wired i/o.

Great little piece of kit, I used it to build the PrestoDeck project and it's been absolutely fabulous. Really simple to set up and good fun to play with.

Presto is really cool. It would be even better if more applications were created. I made a demo for maze generation and solving. https://github.com/kurosuke/PrestoMaze/
