“Yes, when you first start up your Raspberry Pi, you'll find the display actually upside down if you fit it in the official case. Then you'll need to search online how to fix it, because the product information doesn't bother to tell you. Which is a shame, because it is so simple:
"To do this, open /boot/config.txt in your favourite editor and add the line:
lcd_rotate=2
This will rotate both the LCD and the touch coordinates back to the right rotation.”
“The display is very clear and well made, except that is the ribbon cable socket. It is in a very difficult position and having big hand I managed to snap the retaining clip that holds the ribbon in place. However, after a lot of fiddling I managed to get the clip to stay in place and so far, it is working.”
“It's a great screen, good brightness, sensitive touch, but be very careful fitting it into the case that's available for it. Mine cracked from corner to corner as I was easing it in to place. Screen still works, touch doesn't :(”
“I have been wanting one of these for a while so Bought this in the Black Friday Sale at a great price.
The one supplied by ThePiHut is the latest version that not only comes with firmware fixes but also the controller board is already mounted on the back of the display which saves time in building.
You have to add a line to the config.txt (Using latest Raspbian Stretch) for the display orientation to be correct but this can easily be done prior to inserting the SD Card.
Everything worked great on first boot with no pixel issues, I now just need to see if the Speaker pHAT can be installed at the same time.”
“The touchscreen works well and it's rather easy to connect and configure. Construction feels solid and everything looks very good indeed... Except when you turn it on. Resolution is quite low which is to be expected, but the viewing angles are abysmal.
But then again the display is rather cheap and large so one can't expect too much. I just wish they'd opted for an IPS screen instead.”
