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 :(

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.

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.

Found the screen perfect for my needs, and good value for money especially at the discounted price. Highly recommended.

Very pleased, bright sharp image. Had never used ribbon cables before and it is not obvious how the clamp operates but worked it out.

Thus screen allows me to use my pi where I want, and when I want without loads of periferals. It is easy to put together but you really need the back and frame. I had to put a line in the config.sys file to put the screen the right way up and also to put the keyboard on screen. Somehow I now have the choice of two, Florence and matchbox, neither of which are anywhere near as good or easy to read as my mobile phone. In fact I may continue to use the plug in. But I do like the fact my pi is safe in a case and can now go anywhere

I have been very pleased with this display, and it worked perfectly first time. The touch operation works well, and would recommend it to anyone needing control of a raspberry pi without the need for a monitor or mouse.
