Hosyond 10.1" IPS LCD Capacitive Touch Screen HDMI Display Portable Monitor 1024X600 Built-in Dual Speakers for Raspberry Pi 4 3 2 Zero B+ Model B Xbox PS4 Windows 7/8/10

I ordered this to replace the finicky DSI display on my Raspberry Pi 5, which stops working and has to be reinstalled every time I update the OS. With this HDMI display, I just plug it in and it works. Installation is easy - literally just plug in the HDMI and USB connections and it'll work perfectly. I mounted the Pi5 to the back of the display. You will need the included brass standoffs to mount the Pi high enough to miss the HDMI port on the display. I also used the HDMI and USB adapters that were included instead of using the cables, which are also included. For the Pi5, you will need the USB adapter from the bag marked 3B and the HDMI adapter from the bag marked 4B. The USB adapter for the 4B didn't quite line up properly on mine. There were no instructions included, but it really was just plug and play for me. You can find the documentation on the Hosyond web site if you need it. Just click on the link for the "7inch HDMI Display-H" and it'll take you to the instructions. They have pre-configured images for the Raspberry Pi that you can download and burn to an SD Card, and also drivers and instructions for installing to an existing Pi OS. I literally just hooked it up and it worked, so didn't need any of the instructions or drivers from the web site. The model shown on the web site and in the documentation is slightly different - it doesn't have the speakers or speaker connections, and the brightness \ volume control is a bit different, but otherwise it's the same display. As for the speakers, they're optional, and if you decide to use them, plug them in before you glue them down. The plugs are a little finicky, and only go in one way, and it'll be easier without the speaker in the way. I installed them, and they work, but don't expect audiophile quality from them. The display is bright and crisp, and the touchscreen is fairly responsive, especially compared to the cheap DSI display it replaced. Overall, I am quite pleased with this display, and won't bother messing with DSI displays ever again.

Revised Feb 15,2025 I returned the original puchase and instead of buying another brand tried this one again. This time it worked just fine. Touch works very well. The screen seems bright enough and it seems to be all around very good. Works well out of the box on pi 5 with raspbian. Will be changing operating system to android on the pi and hopefully will have the same results. Good purchase. ========================== I tried on Raspberry Pi 5 and 4b. Moved cables. Used different cables. Tried several different operating systems. Raspbian, emteria android, moode, osmc. Made all the changes I was supposed to make to the config.txt. (those changes caused a problem with the mouse cursor changing into a big box) I even downloaded the versions of raspbian from Hosyond web site that were preconfigured for the pi. No luck. I did think the picture was good. But without touch I'm not sure I have a use for it. It seems to be decently built. I like that I can mount the pi directly to the back of it and that it has its own speakers but I never tried the speakers so I can't attest to their quality. But I'm sure they would be fine for what I would use it for. Will be returning very soon unfortunately.

Cool idea, decent image, but didnt last. Failed after a few months of occassinal use. First developed a few issues then failed completely.

Pros: * Easy setup with either a Pi3, 4 or 5 - Very clever design with the little connectors on a PCB. Very neat with no wires or long cables protruding. * Clear and crisp display on all resolutions athough 1920 x 1080 on a small screen like this is an eye chart. I have been using 1024 x 576 and 1152 x 648 for my applications. At this resolution the touch screen is very usable even with my fat fingers. * Colors are bright and saturated. Black is as expected for a modern TFT display. No issues. * Worked instantly, no driver issues, no editing config files to get working. Tested with the 2025 version of Raspberry PI 64 Bit OS. * No USB Sound Dongle needed for sound (as the sound comes over the HDMI connection). This saves a USB dongle and amplifier(s) + speaker(s) that would be needed otherwise. * Sound from included speakers is really pretty good and plenty loud. No driver issues at all. * There is a nice little combined brightness / volume control on the side. Works fine. * Multiple possible resolutions (see attached picture). * A little dimmer than the Official Raspberry Pi display and about the same brightness as the Raspberry Pi Display 2. Still plenty bright in an office environment. As good as your average office laptop. * Seems to use the same power as an official Raspberry Pi display. Cons: * Not as easy to mount as the official Raspberry Pi Display screens. * I didn't notice this at first, but this display has a blue color cast to it when placed next to the Official Raspberry Pi displays which seem to have a slightly warm color cast. Again I didn't notice this until I compared the two displays. * Display surface is reflective, but they all are - a limitation of touchscreens. Wishes: * I wish someone would make a good Acrylic bezel / mount for the screen like the Pimorni ones so panel mounting was easier. Bottom line: I would buy this again for sure. Especially if I wanted to try different resolutions.

I recently upgraded my Ender 3 3D printer by integrating a 7-inch IPS LCD touch screen display, designed for use with Raspberry Pi. This upgrade significantly enhanced my printer's usability, especially after installing Klipper. One of the key features I appreciated about this screen was its ability to directly mount the Raspberry Pi to the back, streamlining the setup and saving valuable workspace. The inclusion of a simple stand with the screen was another thoughtful addition, making it easy to position for optimal viewing and interaction. Running Klipper Screen on this display has been seamless, and the fact that it doesn’t require a separate power source—drawing power directly from the Raspberry Pi—was a major plus. This eliminated the need for extra cables, keeping my setup neat and tidy. Overall, this screen has been a perfect fit for my needs, offering a substantial upgrade to my printing setup. The touch functionality and the clear, vibrant display have made interfacing with Klipper a much more enjoyable experience
