SunFounder Latest 10 Inch DIY Touch Screen All-in-One Solution for Raspberry Pi 5, IPS HD 1280x800 LCD, Built-in 5.1V/5A Output, HDMI, 10-Point, No Driver, Speakers, for RPi 5/4/3/Zero 2W

This is a higher quality display with higher resolution than the official 7" display for only slightly more cash. The touchscreen also works better. I find that scrolling is barely useable on the 7" display, while it is FAR smoother and more responsive on this 10.1" display. The fact that this 10.1" display includes the brick and can also power most Raspberry Pi boards actually makes it great value versus buying the 7-inch display plus a separate good power brick. The only Pi I have had trouble powering from this display was the newest Raspberry Pi 3B+ model. That board gave me a low voltage indicator in Raspbian. For me, it was worth buying a separate brick for the Pi 3B+ to have this screen. I'm using it with a Raspberry Pi 3B+, a HifiBerry DAC+ Pro, and Volumio as a desktop FLAC player. It makes Volumio far more usable. I don't think I could ever go back to using the official 7" display after using a couple of these on projects, so far. Highly recommended. [UPDATE] I'm still using these displays, so I thought I'd give an update. A few weeks ago, I had to use their customer service for a problem. I discovered that one of the displays I originally purchased had a dead area where the touchscreen wouldn't let me click. I contacted Sunfounder support via email and received a fairly quick response. They gave me troubleshooting steps to try which verified that the display was malfunctioning. They replaced the display immediately and the replacement has worked perfectly. Their support was very good, which is something I can't say about a lot of companies selling online. They actually cared whether I was happy with their product. Because of their excellent support, I actually logged onto their website to look at their other products. (I like purchasing from people who take good care of me after the sale.) I can see why a lot of teachers are using them as a source for STEM-oriented equipment, project kits, and accessories. Being able to get help when you need it is extremely important when you're trying to teach technology in today's overcrowded classrooms. Anyway, I'm an old-school gadget geek (an "ancient geek philosopher") who makes a variety of devices as a hobby. Browsing through their items, I found several cool components I plan to use on future projects. I found myself wishing a lot of those kits had existed when I was a kid. Being a picky old guy, I can always think of things I would improve on any product I've ever purchased, so here are a few things I'd like to see on these displays. 1. Instructions for configuring these displays with the most common operating systems on single board computers, like the Raspberry Pi. The documentation site was helpful, but I would love to have seen a printed page or even a link to a better set of instructions online. 2. Some sort of basic desktop stand. I had to design and 3D print my own stand to use these and not everyone has a 3D printer. Plus, I could have started my project quicker if a stand were included. 3. Slightly more power output for powering the latest, more powerful single board computers. I was using the latest Raspberry Pi 3B+ and got low power warnings. More current (~3A) and slightly higher voltage (~5.3V) would have saved me from needing a second power brick, making this screen an even better value. These three wish list items weren't deal breakers for me, so I'm only mentioning them in case others have different requirements. The bottom line is, I still highly recommend these displays, but now I also recommend Sunfounder for their customer service. I hope this update helps.

It's hard to find a screen that's bigger than 7" and combines touch capability with high resolution. At 10" and 1280X800 this screen is a rarity. The screen doesn't come with a case or frame - which is perfect for makers who want to use the screen in their own projects. That said, out of the box it's designed to be used somewhat like a tablet - your raspberry Pi or similar can be attached to the back of the screen and the supplied standoffs ensure that the screen will sit level on a desk. I think you would probably want to build some kind of case around it to protect the electronics though. One thing that isn't published is that the screen supports sound over hdmi so you can connect some speakers without using your computer's 3.5mm output. In my case (!) I used the screen to build a raspberry Pi powered laptop (see attached images) and I've placed the raspberry Pi inside a separate case to the screen to provide easy access to the GPIO pins. The high quality screen really makes this project work - the touch screen means that you don't need to rely on the flaky touchpad on the keyboard and the high resolution means that you can work comfortably without feeling like you're peering through a keyhole. I also want to call out Sunfounder's customer support which has been very responsive to my questions - I usually get a reply in 12 hours. All in all a high quality bright screen with the best spec I could find for this application.

The parts that come are all good- I really like the screen (which is the most important thing here if we're honest). Pros: - Screen is amazing - Price is very reasonable - Everything works and seems decently enough supported Cons: - The cables they provide are just off the shelf usb cables, way too long and clunky for this configuration if you want to package it - They have instructions to tape down an extremely fragile ribbon connector (this is a good step in a fully enclosed device, but these are just hanging around out in the open with a couple pieces of tape to keep them ripping out) - There's no good way to hold it. They do provide 3d printable leg stl's (byo printer+plastic), but that only really holds it in a table top setting. It's the perfect size to be a "pretend ipad" but there really is no good way to hold this device with one hand and operate it with the other - The power cable is like 2' long- given there's no battery with this configuration, I think they should at least give you a cable long enough to walk around a small room with. How to enjoy fullest? - Buy a 12V "UPS" and put that inline with the power cable. Boom it's a portable device now - Build some bumper handles for the sides- now you aren't worrying about touching the components when you pick it up, and it's a bit safer on a real life table where other things might bump into it. - If you're lucky you might have some shorter usb cables for connecting the devices- but if you wanna go above and beyond, clip a USB cable just a bit longer than necessary, and solder the cables direct to the devices board. For the maker? Do all those things in the kit and you'll have the perfect "DIY iPad" Maybe that's not your goal, but that's how my project panned out and these things would've made it perfect for me.

I only just received this display and have it all up and running. Install, mounting of a pi 4, and setup was a breeze. The touch works well. Probably not the best touch response I've used, but I'm very happy with how it performs. The one complaint I have is that if the raspberry pi goes to sleep and powers off it's HDMI output...the display does not go to sleep. Instead it displays a 'no cable' graphic in the middle of the screen. As far as I can tell, there is no timeout on this behavior...it will sit there burning "No Cable" into the screen indefinitely. It would be much more sensible if the display would go into a low-power mode instead. I was hoping there was a way to chance this behavior..but I haven't found it yet. Update: I contact SunFounder technical support through their website and they responded quickly through email. It took a little back-and-forth through email, but eventually they decided the circuit board that comes with the display was defective and preventing it from properly entering power savings mode. They shipped me a replacement board at no cost, and after swapping out this circuit board, the display works correctly. It now automatically enters power saving mode when either the cable is disconnected, or if the raspberry pi goes to sleep and turns off it's HDMI output. The tech support was very courteous and helpful, and my issue is resolved so I am happy to update my review to 5 starts.

I have several display's from this brand, they all work well, and they have all seen daily use, in mobile set-up's. I have no complaints on the picture. I've had a number of other displays in the 5, 7, & 10-inch range and the quality can vary greatly at this price-point. Glad I found this brand. One negative, the internal speakers are marginal. They certainly don't sound as good as the flat speakers in my iPad, but then again this montor is 10 times less expensive. I just use a good bluetooth speaker or headphones if a need the best sound.

The touchscreen works well enough but if you use this with a RPI 4B expect to see low power warnings. The power supply that comes with the touchscreen is not powerful enough to handle a busy RPI. As CPU needs increase so do power demands and if you are seeing that popup often you will want to use a separate power supply for the RPI. The lack of a stand is problematic. I use a tablet stand and that OK but I really wanted to mount this on a wall. That's just not feasible because there really isn't a case or frame option available.

Mated with PI perfectly. All the cables fit, were long enough-mounting holes were in the right place (except for one-PI board was held in place with 3 screws instead of 4 as I would have preferred, but it was fine. I added a spacer at the fourth screw location between the board and the back of the screen.) Instructions were correct for downloading PI operating system. I followed them and the touch screen worked fine. Screen is clear enough, bright enough-easily readable. I wish there was a vented cover for the back of the screen but not vital. ...Unfortunately, I am not using the PI because the software that a PI.org person told me was already installed is not installed.

I waited awhile to write this review, but I have to say it's great! I bought it for a smart mirror but didn't finish it yet. So while it's been sitting there, I decided to try it for my gaming pc to use to boot up for the oculus rift so I don't have to find a time to play when the kids want to watch TV (I use me TV as a monitor too). Its plug and play; the PC instantly recognized it as a touchscreen monitor! My PC case has a glass side, so I put the 1/4" glass up against it and the touchscreen still worked! I loaded oculus and was able to play with no problems at all. Basically turned a full desktop into a laptop! I just bought a second one for the raspberry pi to finish my mirror. Very happy with this display!

I bought this to build a custom software defined radio appliance and I am very pleased with its quality and functionnality. It provides mounting and power for a Raspberry Pi 4 that works pretty well. The video driver board features a built-in stero amplifier that picks its input from the HDMI feed from the RPi. You can use a 4 pins JST2mm connector to drive two 4 ohms speakers up to 3W which is a good thing for my project and saves me from adding a separate amplifier. The only minor drawback is that the 5 display control buttons are mounted directly on the board and there is no connector to mount them remotely. Jumpers can be easily soldered to install remote switches to control the display.

de plus la notice n'est qu'en anglais inadmissible en France (je crois qu'il y a une loi la dessus) et comme je le disais : il n'y a pas de pieds pour le faire tenir debout Grands princes ils vous offrent le plan (zippé) pour l'imprimer chez vous alors il reste l'option d'acheter une imprimante 3 D pour fabriquer deux pieds à quelques centimes Je trouve ça mesquin, à moins qu'ils ne vendent aussi des imprimantes. messieurs de la SunFounder Compagny, Je ne vous salue pas et la prochaine fois je passerais mon chemin. Si quelqu'un trouve leur adresse mail je le autorise et leur demande de leur envoyer mon mécontentement. je vous en remercie et vous adresse mes meilleures salutations [email protected]

Il grosso vantaggio di questo monitor 10", oltre ad una risoluzione nativa superiore alla concorrenza è che la scheda di controllo alimenta direttamente il raspberry, evitando di dover acquistare un alimentatore extra. D'altra parte il connettore di alimentazione non è USB e quindi può essere scomodo in alcune situazioni. Altra scomodità è che il montaggio prevede che la scheda MicroSD del raspberry finisca accanto alla scheda del monitor rendendone difficoltosa l'estrazione. Però sono problemi minori e in ogni caso lo consiglio vivamente.

I like there is power supply as well as all the cables needed to connect raspberry pi, nothing extra is needed

Das Sunfounder 10.1 Display eignet sich hervorragend für die Anzeige von z.B. Hausautomatisierung. Ich habe es als Monitor für die Anzeige der FTUI - Tablet UI des Fhem Servers in der Wand verbaut. Das Display ist sowohl bei Tageslicht als auch bei Dunkelheit gut ablesbar. Es ist aus einem großen Blickwinkel gut und scharf zu erkennen. Der PI erkennt das Display problemlos. Das Display trägt durch seinen Rahmen etwa 2 mm auf die Wand auf. Beim Einbau ist genaues Sägen gefordert, da der Überstand des Rahmens mit ca. 5 mm relativ schmal ist. Die Touch Funktion ist zuverlässig und präzise. Alle benötigten Kabel werden mitgeliefert. Durch die auf der Rückseite des Displays vorgesehenen Gewindebohrungen lässt sich das Display gut montieren. Da die Rückseite Metallisch ist, ist auch eine Frontalmontage mit Haltemagneten in einer Hohlwand möglich. In meinem Fall ist auf der Rückseite der Wand eine Revisionsluke, so dass ich die Befestigung mit 4 Klammern aus dem 3D Drucker gelöst habe. Dies ist auf den Fotos gut zu erkennen. Das Display geht beim Abschalten des HDMI Anschlusses nicht in den Standby, sondern zeigt ein Not Connected Bild an. Dies lässt sich hervorragend umgehen, indem man den Powertaster am Display z.B. über einen Optokoppler mit dem Ausgang des PI verbindet. Ich habe das mit einem CNY17/3 gelöst. Der Zustand des Displays lässt sich gut über den Enable Pin des Verstärkerchips auslesen. Dieser ligt bei aktiviertem Display auf 3,3V und kann direkt mit dem PI ausgelesen werden. Ein Foto des entsprechenden Pins habe ich angehängt. Das Display wird in meinem Anwendungsfall über ein kleines Pythonscript, welches einen PIR Melder ausliest, angeschaltet und nach einer Minute ohne Bewegungserkennung wieder deaktiviert. Die Spannungsversorkung des PI bleibt dabei im Standby erhalten. Ein kleiner Schaltplan ist in den Bildern angehängt. Auch ein Platinenlayout habe ich angehängt. Mein Fazit zu diesem Display: Für Steuerungsaufgaben ist dieses Display absolut gut zu gebrauchen. Der Support durch den Hersteller ist einwandfrei.
