waveshare7inch Capacitive Touch Screen LCD Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B+/3A+/2B/B+/A+/Zero/Zero W/WH/Zero 2W CM3+/4 1024×600 Resolution HDMI IPS Low Power Consumption Supports Windows

worked really well with various windows 10 mini-PC's. Have not tried it on raspberry Pi yet, but i am sure it will work with the config changes in the docs. Nice clear display. Touch works well. Only issue is that if you try and hook it up on a laptop with another screen, the waveshare 7" touchscreen works, but will not click the mouse. It will only move the pointer, etc. It apparently needs to be the only monitor for full touchscreen functionality. This is documented on the waveshare website and waveshare forum. Not an issue for me. But it might be for others.

I plugged it in and it worked with no problems. I was impressed with the sharpness and clarity of the display. My use required it to be turned upside down. The web site explained how to configure the touch screen to match the screen rotation.

I just bought the 7 inch HDMI LCD (C) from Amazon US. I got a new Raspbian OS image (2017-07-05-raspbian-jessie), burned it to a card and edited /boot/config.txt by appending the following:max_usb_current=1hdmi_group=2hdmi_mode=87hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0hdmi_drive=1I booted my raspberry Pi 3 and got nothing but a white screen. No image, no touch response. Expecting to gain more information I looked at the screen's EDID.$ tvservice -d edid.dat$ edidparser edid.dat > edid.txt$ cat edid.txtThere I found a great deal of X11 confusion: undefined values, etc. It appears that either the EDID is inaccurate or is in a format that current X11 version doesn't recognize. So, I added to /boot/config.txt:hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080On next boot the screen worked perfectly--beautiful display, working touch, even fairly quick boot.On boot number 2 the screen worked poorly. Image was very washed out--readable but not practically usable.On boot number 3 the screen was so washed out and saturated with light that the image from the raspbian desktop was only barely visible.I added the following line to /boot/config.txt but it had no apparent effect.config_hdmi_boost=4I believe the display hardware is faulty and I will return it to get different product unless there is a software solution. I am also sending this post as an email to [email protected] but they seem to have a reputation for responding slowly or not at all.UPDATE: The hardware was bad. I returned it and got a new one which works very well. Sharp, fast display and the touch is quit accurate. I've changed my rating to 4 stars.I also can add that based on my personal experience, Waveshare's customer service is now very responsive. I got immediate answers to my queries (same day) and their suggestion to check the original display with a desktop was what confirmed that I had a hardware problem. Satisfied customer now.

Great product, even though I got frustrated at one point. Like an idiot I thought I could just figure it out. It's as easy as changing the lines of the config file in the boot directory. This worked with the raspberry pi 3. Touch screen is not as accurate as I would like, but the screen is extremely vivid and crisp. I had extreme ghosting until I turned up the amperage limit on the usb.As I wanted, this is open frame and capacitive touch. The hdmi cable is crazy short, but I imagine most people will attach it on or close to their pi. This draws a lot of current, so make sure your power supply is up to the task.

Following the instructions on Waveshare's wiki doesn't make this thing work. My experience is that, no matter whether you use stock Raspian Jessie and add the drivers or use Waveshare's image, you're not going to get the touchscreen to work. The display itself works but no touch. On top of that, while the screen is connected to the Pi, my official Raspberry Pi WiFi dongle won't work. I've tried the screen on a Raspberry Pi B, a Raspberry Pi 2 B, and a Raspberry Pi Zero.On top of that, I can't seem to get the company to respond to email requests for help. I plan to give the company another day or two to respond and if there's no response I'll return this and the case I bought for it.

With all these negative reviews, I thought it would be hard to get going, but I'm no slouch when it comes to technical stuff so I gave it a try. It was really pretty easy. I got it to work with two different raspian images (hypriot and the standard Jessie) by just adding a few lines to the config.txt:max_usb_current=1hdmi_group=2hdmi_mode=87hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 6 0 0 0The first line let's the pi send it more current over the USB ports, the other three set a manual resolution for the HDMI. These are standard pi configuration variables, and needed for most bare monitors.Wiki: [...]The version I received was v2.1, so the touch screen worked out of the box.

Contrary to the other reviewer here, I got this touchscreen display up and running with my RPi 2 in under 30 minutes. I started with standard Raspbian and installed the touchscreen driver. Documentation is very clear on the Waveshare Wiki [...]. It's like three terminal commands and suddenly it just works! Display looks great, happy I went with the higher resolution option.UPDATE: first display stopped working after less than 6 months, but waveshare "don't have the copy of warranty terms." So, I purchased a second one and am pursuing a warranty with my credit card.

This display is very good. It has a vibrant and crisp display. The touch screen is responsive. I had a hard time with the installation only because I didn't completely follow the instructions. If you try to install this monitor and configure a fresh install of Raspbian Stretch simultaneously you will probably have to start over. Be sure to complete the Raspbian installation before setting up this monitor. Also, if you need to start over let the display sit for about 5 minutes or more unplugged to allow the wrong settings to be "forgotten". All-in-all I am very happy with my purchase.

It was how I expected it to be. But it's working was not that good. And I think I'm regreting not buying the official one with some more money.1. You need to buy a case for it for convenience2. For some reason, touch stops working when I just slightly disturb the cable which is ver annoying3. You need compatable OS that has the drivers to produce proper output in this screen. I didn't research much on this.3.5. If you run it on incompatible output for a long time, flickering ghost images will be produced. Even after you switch it off and on. (More info on wiki about this)If you are facing that, switch it off and leave it idle for 12 hrs. Should fix it.I used PINN Bootloader, it had options to install many OSes, and from there, some were configured to run on Waveshare screen.And if you have bought this, make sure to check its wiki link.

A bit of a long term review here, typically I leave a comment earlier but this time it slipped my mind. This had been working great for about 6 months, being paired with a Raspberry Pi to make quite a nifty tablet kind of device. In the past few days, it has just decided enough is enough and to just stop displaying picture. The backlight and touch functionality still work great (tested on a multi-screen windows set up). It is unfortunate, as this little screen really was good for the purpose. Faced with the choice of what to buy to replace it, I may just go with an official Pi foundation screen.

Exactly what i needed to finish off my new high end Windows 10 gaming computer, i needed a small (7") screen to build into the case for monitoring CPU temp, Fan speed, Frequencies, Memory usage, etc etc.It was Plug and Play, connected USB for power (and touch screen if you need that) and HDMI cable for video signal and it worked with no programming or installation process at all, Windows recognised it and installed the drivers automatically.For my application the "touch screen" was not needed although this appears to work but might need setting up correctly but then you would need to assign this screen as the "main screen" and touch functions would only work on the screen assigned as "main", not an issue for me as i don't need the touch option.Product quality appears excellent and picture quality is superb, its at the native 1024 X 600 resolution as set by Windows, i would point out if you want to use the screen as i am under Windows OS be sure to get this 1024 X 600 version as i don't believe the cheaper 800 X 480 resolution version will be usable on standard Windows platform.All in all very pleased with the product, very well packaged for protection, delivery was 4 days earlier than estimated in Amazon.I would definitely recommend the product and the supplier, A+.

Pour l'instant, je suis assez satisfait de cet écran. Ce qui est un peu embêtant, c'est que cela ne fonctionne pas immédiatement avec la raspberry 3. Mais par contre, finalement beaucoup plus pratique et performant que les VNC (utiliser l'écran du PC via réseau au lieu d'un vrai écran).Je crois que le fabricant offre une distribution compatible.Moi, j'ai utilisé la raspbian normal, mais il faut se connecter en ssh pour configurer le fichier config.txt après ça roule :1 - brancher la raspberry pi 3 au secteur2 - brancher un cable ethernet entre sa box et la raspberry3 - identifier l'adresse ip de la raspberry (par exemple via l'interface de votre box)3 - sous linux taper ssh [email protected] mot de passe : raspberry (si l'ip de votre rasp est 192.168.1.45) sous windows, utilisez putty par exemple4 - ajoutez ces lignes au fichier /boot/config.txt (par ex via la commande 'nano /boot/config.txt') max_usb_current=1 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=87 hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 6 0 0 05 - sauvez le fichier, éteignez, branchez l'écran et redémarrer.Normalement, cela devrait le faire.PS : il y a peut-être des mini erreurs, car je vous dis ça de mémoire.Good luck !

El display funciona muy bien en windows 10. El touch también funciona, pero con el driver que ha instalado windows hay un pequeño desajuste. Me voy a poner en contacto con el vendedor para ver que driver hay que instalar para que el ajuste sea perfecto.
