ELECROW 7 Inch Touchscreen Monitor for Raspberry Pi - 1024x600 IPS Capacitive Touch Screen HD Mini LCD Display with Stand Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B+/3B, BB Black, Win11/10/8/7, Driver Free

This monitor makes the perfect AIDA64 Sensor Panel display. It uses an HDMI input (cable provided) along with a touch screen/power input (cable provided). The installation is no different than adding a second monitor of any other type and this part is very simple. The back of the monitor is open but this does n't cause any problems since you don't see that side anyway.The monitor does not come with any AIDA64 templates so you will have to create your own, buy one or find a free one to download. Creating your own is not easy unless you already understand how the AIDA64 Sensor Panel definition features work but it's not very difficult to learn and will give you the ability to monitor exactly what you want to see in the way you want to see it. The primary difficulty with defining a sensor panel is that each item on the display must be added individually into AIDA64 using 'x' and 'y' pixel locations which is not hard but is a bit time-consuming. The display in my photo took me at least 2 hours to define but once it's done your custom display will open automatically each time you turn on your computer. The only other issue is making sure you configure Windows for multiple monitors in "extend" mode. There are many videos available to explain the Windows configuration details. This is a highly recommended product.

The media could not be loaded. I was impressed by the resolution, I'm excited to see what projects I'll make with this. Ample mounting holes and brackets to attach to a case or mount a micro computer to the back.Basic USB touch device and HDMI input worked perfectly on the computer (on windows you need to calibrate the touch screen so windows knows which screen the touch input is controlling. )Power switch is a physical switch on the back, so if you want to control the power outside of an enclosure, you'll need to wire something to that. Shouldn't be too hard. Overall very happy with this and looking forward to making some projects with it. Thinking raspberry pi smart-home control panel.

I bought this for an iOT project I am working on with the Raspberry PI 4. I needed to be able to rotate the screen to 270 degrees (which I did) but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get the touch screen to swap the x/y axis. The calibration tool did not work for it. I googled it but all advice was incorrect. I emailed Elecrow, but they were not helpful - they only pointed me to a blog that did not solve the problem. I was finally able to figure it out on my own and got it working. I'm happy with the performance and quality. I like that it has audio. The only thing I would change (except for having better instructions) is to have the HDMI adapter to fit to the 2nd HDMI port on the PI4.

This is an excellent solution for adding an LCD to a Raspberry Pi project. The included mounts and clever 'U' shaped adapters meant that I could mount the Pi directly to the back of the screen and connect HDMI and Touch without bulky cables sticking out all over the place!This is going to drive my 3d Printer's OctoPi, but I could definitely find other uses for this design due to how low profile the kit overall is.I deducted 1 star because the screen quality was...well let's just say I'm not convinced that it's actually an IPS panel. Viewing angles leave much to be desired and the screen has that "grainy" or "speckled" look to it that LCDs of poorer quality sometimes have - thankfully it's only noticeable up close or when the background is very bright/white.Overall I wouldn't really want this to be used in a situation where display quality was a major factor such as for gaming, watching videos, etc, but for an IoT display that's more about function than display quality, it does the job.The included fan is very quiet and was a nice addition, though I'm not sure if the thermal tape provided to adhere it to the Pi is actually THERMAL tape or just double sided tape, so I'll probably replace it with proper double-sided thermal tape ASAP.I really hope to see Elecrow produce a 7" or 10" version that uses the 'U' shaped adapters (and a higher quality screen) - the simple addition of those low profile adapters passing A/V/Touch while not cluttering up the GPIO ports opens up a huge world of possible uses for Pi projects.

This little monitor has come in so handy, simply one of the best buys I've made.I use it with my Raspberry PI but what is also super convenient, is that I can use it with almost any HDMI device for screen and touch surface purposes.Works great as a camera monitor, as a second screen to my laptop for monitoring processes while I keep my apps on the main screen.The volume is super loud and clear, the touch surface is very responsive and the screen is bright, with a rich colour.My only advice is to make sure you buy it with a screen protector.All in all it is a convenient little multipurpose screen that helps you get many things done.
