ROADOM 7’’ Raspberry Pi Screen, IPS1024×600,Responsive Smooth Touch,Dual Built-in Speakers,HDMI Input,Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5/4/3,Driver Free

I bought the ROADOM 10.1” Touchscreen Monitor with a coupon and an extra discount... great deal overall!The built-in mounting tabs were a convenient detail that made it easy to secure the screen inside my Wireway enclosure.Although the included adapters were labeled for Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, both the Micro HDMI ribbon cable and the touchscreen connector worked perfectly with the Raspberry Pi 5. That was all I needed — no separate power cable required, since the Pi 5 powers the screen directly. The space behind the display to mount the Raspberry Pi made the setup even easier. I used M2.5 nylon spacers and screws for a clean, solid installation.The only challenge was that, once everything was sealed, the physical menu buttons on the screen became inaccessible. I fixed that by soldering a wire to the power button and connecting it to a momentary push button switch, which works flawlessly.I used this screen for a Solar Assistant monitoring project, with both remote access and Kiosk mode on a touchscreen, and everything came together successfully.

original 3-star review:seems to work well in all respects apart from the touch function. yes, i removed the protective film and, yes, both 5v inputs are powered.i have email'd the mfg - resolution pends...UPDATE: Sun Jan 19 16:19:33 EST 2020OK... it works. my bad - connection issue. on receiving an email from the mfg/cust support, i was advised to "please connect to Pi3B+ as the attached manual".tl;dri'm using an R Pi 3B+ with OpenAuto running on Raspbian and i intend to mount it in an '04 ford ranger.the "quick start guide" is not terribly useful. less than useful, actually, and there is no other documentation.the display is bright, crisp and clear, and the touch function works quite well. read on for full disclosure.the unabridged version:as mentioned, the enclosed directions aren't all that great. under the 3 line paragraph marked "to use it as a touch screen for the R Pi, you may need:". here, it shows a picture of the enclosed FPC cable with the caption, "an fpc cable, to connect your R Pi to this touch screen". in their defense, there is another pic of a Pi (only) with 3 cables attached, with a caption, "to use it as a standard monitor..." wherein it indicates 3 cables are required including a note to connect the "5V+ Touch" to "your connected device".off to youtube. i found a review of the lebula display on the first search, but is was completely useless. quite by accident, i discovered another video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HUt6tRReEQ) for the UPerfect display but it appears to be exactly the same as this touch screen.in case the link is redacted, the video may be found at the standard youtube url with the id "v=_HUt6tRReEQ".unfortunately for most readers here, it's in german, but it is visually very clear and the german-impaired (myself included) may simply view a few spots in the video for the complete info:connection of rpi connections to display starts at 8:30closeup of almost complete wiring at 9:30complete wiring at 9:45its made by EddyD's SmartHome. Danke für das Video, EddyD.note that this video shows a connection scheme using an included cable (there are several) marked, "gift- 3pin power cable for the R Pi" and a very short micro-usb-to-usb-A cable. and, of course, the FPC cable. if you're not familiar with one or more of these, watch more of the video.eureka.size info - useful if you have a place in mind to mount it:actual screen dimensions (excluding mounting tabs): 4.2 x 6.5 inches, diagonally: 7.7overall dimension: 6.5 x 4.754 mounting tabs which extend the height by 0.375 each.thickness with R Pi attached: ~1.25"the indicated resolution is 1024 x 600 but the description on the amazon page says it supports 1280 x 1024. there is no mention of this in the quick start guide.it comes with a 5v 3a power brick (approx 2" x 1.6" x 1") which may be a switching PS as it does not get very warm, at least after approx 30 min use.under actual operation it uses approx 0.9a at 5.1v (approx 4 and a half watts). it did hit 1.2a very briefly during boot. my Pi displayed the "lightning bolt" using the above described connection arrangement - it may require it's own power supply.the warranty (as advertised on the QSG):30 day return60 day replacement12 mo warranty24 hr cust svc via emaillife-time after sale servicesummary and conclusions:i've had the display power'd up for only an hour or so, so i can't speak to reliability, but it behaves as advertised - bright, clear, responsive, apparently well built. there are several cables which are included eg., hdmi-hdmi, usb-micro-usb, FPC. there are adjustments for brightness, contrast, color temp, etc.i have no idea if the power brick will behave above 1 amp, but it behaved well for my purposes. i will be powering it using the DROK 90483 8A 100W DC Car Power Supply (amazon page https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C4QVTNU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).unless i have issues in the near future, i plan to purchase at least 2 more units.the pic is a capture from the vid - hope you don't mind EddyD. :-)

Disclaimer: I received this product for free from ROADOM.TLDR: Love the screen, hate the cable it comes with. Recommend to pay the little extra for the one with the stand.Pro:-Great price-Great Screen-Good Features-Great customer supportCon:-Bit amateur feeling compared to the stand version-Micro-USB cable instead of USB-C (the stand version has USB-C)-That stupid HDMI ribbon cable!To start, I like the screen. I previously purchased the ROADOM screen with stand, and was contacted by ROADOM after speaking with their customer support from the previous purchase. Their support is amazing, so you can't go wrong there.This screen is super simple, works like a charm, and looks super clean. The touch feature worked perfectly out of the box, and the instructions get the job done. It even has blue color removal built-in for eye comfort!I connected a RPi4b, so I used their included micro-hdmi cable. This is where they lose me. I HATE this ribbon cable so much. It's not that bad and it works, but god I just hate it. The screen that comes with the stand has a much better, stronger cable that connects directly to the HDMI port on the screen (see third photo). I suppose this means I could connect a second device into the HDMI port while having the pi connected, but the HDMI port is disabled while the ribbon cable is connected, so there's no real reason.Ultimately, it feels more...'raw' compared to the screen with the stand. That feels like a product, and this feels like a hobbyist's device. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of that with all my RPi's, but I just like the stand version more. I'll use this for a dashboard RPi on my counter, to display weather and whatnot. It'll serve nicely for years.

I purchased this screen to use as a touch HMI for a home automation system, and have been very pleased with the quality and performance of the screen. It connected quickly and easily to the PC I'm working with (an OnLogic industrial PC), and has been easy to mount into the enclosure I'm using for this system. This is the second ROADOM screen I've worked with (I also have a 10.1" screen which I use as a head unit for an RPi 5), and my previous experience with the company has been very positive - they are very responsive, and were willing to give me extensive documentation on the screen's dimensions to support my work. Excellent product.
