Great product. I Highly recommend it
This screen comes in a kit that is very easy to assemble. I works great, looks great, and provides high quality picture and decent sound for what it is. This thing makes for a fantastic IoT device similar to a google hub or Amazon Echo Show. I use mine as desktop addition to show my daily / weekly schedule, weather, upcoming big events like trips I have scheduled etc. it also works well as my zoom meeting device though the screen is a bit small if the presenter is sharing their screen.While it has a great spot for a 2.5” SSD. Note this is a mounting point only. You still need to buy a USB3 type A to SATA adapter. Not a down check, but it would be nice if there were a way to hide this cable a bit but there just plain isn’t a way.

Great product, Great customer service!
I purchased 12 units for a STEM class project building micro computer systems. The students love the Systems. 2 of the units had a row of dead pixels and I reached out to the support team. They were very responsive and helpful. I worked with them to troubleshoot and afterward they shipped two replacement units for the students. I am super impressed with both the product itself and the Sunfounder support for it.

Excellent monitor, minor ergomic issue
Very easy to assemble. Excellent and well illustrated instructions. Providing a small Phillips screwdriver is a nice touch. Much better display than the official one from the Raspberry Pi organization. Great value and performance for the price. You can drive this up to a very high resolution if desired. This is perfect for my portable amateur radio station. I found that 1600x900 made it hard to read even though more apps could be displayed. For me the sweet spot was 848x480. Used Openbox to add some virtual desktops to recover screen area at the lower resolution.Why not 5 stars for the Overall Rating? To keep the display tilted back at a readable angle, you are provided with a solid post maybe 2 inches long that screws into the back from the inside. This makes it inconvenient to put into a gear bag because the post sticks out. A better choice would have been a kickstand. I found an inexpensive stand for a generic tablet for $11.99 on Amazon that folds up and holds this display perfectly.

Good screen, easier to read than I thought it would be at this size.
I'm using this as a screen for a mini-PC for astrophotography. I am using applications with numerous small text windows and though I'm not going to pretend that this is huge, it's surprisingly readable and useful. My only comment is that I wish that it had a power switch. As it stands my only way to turn it off is to unplug the USB cable. I've had mine outside at night for weeks (kept dry, of course) and no issues.

Nice screen
Great product. Nice screen resolution. Touch screen and speakers work. We are using it with a RaspberryPi 4B and it works great. Also, it comes with a laser cut transparent protector for the back which is a nice to have.

Good productz but not great
I've ordered these twice and the power port is always broken. The last one I bought, I loaded the surrounding areas of thr power port with hot glue. Seems a lot more robust now. That is the only issue with this screen.

Fantastic little screen!
Good quality screen, easy to assemble and best of all the raspberry pi headers are broken out and easily accessible while everything is assembled in a clean setup.the touch screen is accurate, plug and play with no drivers required, it just works!The raspberry pi connects to the screen with no wires! several other screens you end up with this long HDMI wire hanging out in outer space, with this one it is very clean with a HDMI bridge between the pi and the screens HDMI port, making for a clean setupAs a secondary use it makes for a awesome screen to quickly check the status on my NAS that runs without a screen unless you plug one in, quickly plug in a HDMI for video and USB for power and you got your self a very portable very easy to use troubleshooting screen

Touch Functionality Does Not Work - Basically an Expensive 7" Screen
I may have gotten a defective touchscreen, or this is a scam. The screen displays my Raspberry Pi just fine, but the touch functionality does not work, no matter what I try. The touchscreen itself does not show up as a device in Raspbian, despite being connected via USB. Contacted their technical support to see if I needed to install a driver. Being in China, I had to wait 24 hours between responses, and all I got was "can you send us some pictures" despite explaining what was wrong in great detail. After I sent them the pictures, their response was "Hi, Thanks for your reply. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. Best Regards, Richard". They didn't even TRY to address my issue. So, I'm returning it. My advice to you is to look elsewhere for a small touchscreen. This device doesn't cut it, and their tech support is LAUGHABLE.

Screen itself is nice, included micro-HDMI is low quality
Screen is bright, touch is sensitive and works great with my Raspberry Pi project (VenusOS). I used the recommended settings from docs.sundfounder.com except I commented out "hdmi_drive=2" as this seemed to interfere with recognizing the display. Using the included cable resulted in fine vertical red lines that I just couldn't tune out by boosting hdmi power (config_hdmi_boost) even as high as 9. Replacing with a 6' iCan micro HDMI - HDMI produced a much improved image with no visible lines with hdmi boost set to 5. -1 on picture quality due to the need to buy a better cable.

Great value

Excellent Quality Display
Was looking for something to use on my desk as a sensor panel/media controller display. I bought the DIY kit as I didn't need the case or touch controller, and it was the cheapest one I could find basically anywhere. The display is excellent quality, I run it at 1024 x 600 and it looks super crisp and vibrant. My only grip is that the micro USB to USB A adapter included is pretty short, but other than that its a perfect fit for my setup.

Fonctionne parfaitement.
J'avais besoin d'un écran pour mon système média dans l'auto pour ma fille et cet écran correspond exactement à ce que j'avais besoin. Avec une boîte imprimé 3D c'est vraiment super bien.L'écran tactile ne fonctionne pas de la façon dont je l'utilise (Chromecast avec Google TV), mais je sais qu'il fonctionne parfaitement parce que je l'ai aussi utilisé avec mon Chromebook sans problème.

Not As Advertised
It looked used when it arrived and poorly cleaned. The touch screen seemed nice until I used it for my Pi4b and it was terrible.Tried the model with the accessories and it was even worse experience with the screen.The company has nice customer service and will try to help you. It is not their fault the product is poorly engineered and designed.Buyer beware nice screen but a nightmare to get working. I was really looking forward to getting it to work!
