ELECROW Raspberry Pi Touchscreen Monitor 5 inch Screen Display 800x480 HDMI-Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 3B+ 3B 2B BB Black Banana Pi Jetson Nano Windows PC

Not a bad screen, works GREAT!

I purchased this to use as a system info display inside my pc. The included screws and standoffs made the job very easy -- I just hot glued the ends of the standoffs and plopped them onto the surface. The display quality is better than I expected. The colors are accurate and smooth. HOWEVER, I wish that the display automatically shut off when its not receiving a video signal. Because I have the USB power cord connected to an external USB-A port, even when the system is in sleep it receives phantom power through the USB and stays on as a NO SIGNAL message. Its not a very big deal, I just turned on ErP in the BIOS and thus could turn the display off by switching the system into hibernation, but I really wish they made it so that it could automatically turn off. Also, the included cables are VERY short. I do understand that it was made to use on a Raspberry Pi, but I wish they included longer cables or HDMI and USB extension cables. Luckily, I had a longer HDMI cord and a USB extension cable so it wasnt a catastrophe. Overall, I think its a really nice mini-screen for versatile use. Although it has a few flaws, I would recommend it to people who are doing DIY projects, or just want to set up a system info display like me.

This product is awesome!! Its literally a plug and play. I currently use it as another monitor for my computer and had no trouble being read. I did not need to install drivers at all, which is a big time saver.

I have been working on creating a display for my motorcycle using a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and CAN bus data. I ordered this screen about a month ago (October, 2019). It came very nicely packaged and had no defects from what I could tell. I had plugged it in to my Raspberry Pi 4, and it was clear and bright. Perfect for what I needed it for. Unfortunately I had started to see signs of deterioration within the first couple days.. I had left it in a fairly cold room. When I had checked on it the next day, the polarization filter had started to peel from the LCD and the touchscreen had started to fail.. HOWEVER: Elecrow had contacted me after seeing that I had a somewhat negative experience and offered to send me another one to show that their screen is capable of meeting my demands. Before I wrote this review, I had to be sure that I would not see the same results again. So I placed it in the same room, with even colder temperatures than what had started to affect the other one.. I waited for two days, and when I checked, the screen was fine! There were no issues with the touch functionality and the filter showed no bubbling either. Worked plug and play with my Raspberry Pi 4 and will definitely add a nice touch to my motorcycle. I definitely would recommend this product. Im fairly certain that my situation was a one time occurrence, as this one has absolutely no issues, and I applaud Elecrow for their awesome customer service in the long term. Happy holidays, and best of luck on all your DIY projects!

This is a surprisingly good quality screen and it is pretty good quality. It has barely noticeable oily film on the screen but it isn’t bad. I did have problems originally with getting sent the wrong product a few times but I reached out to the seller and they personally sent out the correct product so I do appreciate that. In all, it’s a pretty good screen for pc stats and I would recommend it.

Picture quality is clear and colors are great! As a sensor panel, it does the job! For me, I used the HDMI cable that came with the screen. For power, I ordered a USB-c > Micro-USB cable. USB-c connected to the IO and Micro-USB to the screen.

I used this monitor to put it inside my PC as a second monitor to check up on the temperatures. It is amazing.

Currently Using this for a mini arcade machine for the fun of it, it was originally going to be a thurd mini monitor for my pc to help run the specs and give me constant feed back, but the installation process was a full blown pain, easy to do but a pretty big drag, everything works as said yet the only thing that bothers me is its quality, the resolution hurts my eyes (I do wear glasses so that might be a cause, maybe different than others) touch screen seems to have a slow response time, and there seems to a small input lag when connecting via hdmi. Works great if just using it for a normal screen but not worth it if you want something serious to work with, currently having fun using this just for play.

The product is very good, well packaged, and works well, the only problem is that the viewing angles are not that good. Is not that bad if you plan to use it for monitoring temps, but there is a noticeable color shifting that may bother you while looking at the screen from the sides.

Needed another monitor to look at stats on monitor. The quality is a bit grainy but its ok, its like an old smartphone. The matter of fact, you can even use a phone to monitor. But anyways the resolution can get better than advertised but the words become really small. The color is a bit washed out but its on a small screen anyways.
