3.5 Inch 480x320 Touch Screen TFT LCD SPI Display Panel for Raspberry Pi B, B+, 2B, 3B, 3B+,4B, 5

I love this little screen. I had to send it back because the raspberry pi 4 purchased at the same time stopped working. We decided to go with a different item so we couldn’t use this. That being said….The item was as described. Connection was simple if you follow the driver process. Make sure you use the official adapter for the pi to run this item as well. The clarity was nice and the touch feature was excellent.Size is perfect for traveling—if you need reading glasses or have vision concerns…the next size up should work.Setup - if you follow the directions it was as easy as pie (sorry had to put the pun in)….just make sure you have the drivers and is installed properly. Grab a 40 pin cable extension if you want a different setup.Connectivity - no problem. Once the setup is done, you get to see the item working. It’s not like the higher definition items but for field work this is perfect.Picture quality - it works for field work and troubleshootingViewing Angles - seemed to be good for me. I’m in Washington state so it’s not super bright here….Size - perfect for on the go set upQuality - shipped securely, brand new and description works well. It includes a stylus as wellOverall - I was only disappointed that I needed to return this item due to changing needs for a project.

I needed a small display for my raspberry pi. It was honestly fairly easy to connect to my raspberry pi considering how much of a hassle other displays can be. This one was just a one-and-done. I was a bit concerned at first, because I didn't see raspberry pi 3A+ on the compatibility list, but it works just as good. For those who are struggling to install the drivers, find the tutorial page linked on this product page, scroll all the way to the bottom and download the raspberry pi system image that is compatible with your raspberry pi. No additional steps needed, just install that image onto your micro SD card with the raspberry pi imager. (For those complaining about user-friendliness, raspberry pis and their hardware are not meant to be user friendly. It's an experience, and you may learn a few new things)

Been trying for 2 days now to get this screen to work. It lights up but no picture. Iv tried several different RPI images and followed the Driver instructions. The offline method doesn't seem to work like the RPI wont recognize the files. The github method seems to work but when the RPI reboots I get not picture still. I try hooking up another monitor afterwards and no picture on either screen now. I take the gpio screen off and I still have no picture and have to reinstall the OS.

I've used several of these in different projects. They work great. That having been said, it's not always easy to get them working, depending on your board and distro. I some cases, it may not even be possible. I can tell you that it will work with raspberry pi os bookworm without too much trouble.

Some people were complaining about the install, but it was easy using the Raspian Pi 5 64 bit OS and following the instructions. Worked first try. I tried it with Kali Linux 64 bit, but it would not work. I didn't try any of the custom 32 bit OS images the seller advertised for download, but I bet they work. I recommend this screen if using any of the advertised custom images or the Rasbian Pi 5 64 Bit OS.

Unfortunately, the official recommended way to install drivers for this display is to use an outdated version of Raspberry Pi OS. (This is because their driver doesn't work with newer versions.) Instead, I managed to get it working (with some caveats) on an up-to-date Raspberry Pi OS Trixie with my Raspberry Pi 2 Model B using an alternate driver from Github. (Search Github for katzenjens/lcd32.)The display itself is okay. It has an ugly sort of grainy effect that reminds me of the original Nintendo DS touch screen. The resolution is too low for Raspberry Pi's desktop to work well---new windows will often open with their edges extending past the edge of the screen. (Remember, you can hold alt while dragging the left mouse button to move windows around.) The screen only looks decent when the it's facing your eyes directly, not when tilted at an angle.The touch works okay with the included stylus. I'm having trouble getting it calibrated to my satisfaction. Using a finger is very imprecise, but it could be fine depending on your application. (If the on-screen buttons are big and chunky it shouldn't be a problem.) It doesn't support multi-touch, so for instance you can't do pinch-to-zoom.I would say it's good enough for the price, but with the driver/setup issues, it's difficult to recommend this product. If you want to use an up-to-date OS (as you should), you can expect to spend at least a few hours getting it working.

Mixed review. Used this to create a cyber deck. It attaches to the Pi, NOT via HDMI. I am new to electronics/coding but this WILL NOT WORK with a simple terminal code. I followed several tutorials and I think the code they used was outdated, and the code you need to use is not easily accessible from the merchant selling the screen. After several tries with adding the screen myself, I went to the merchants website and downloaded the Raspian OS plus LCD screen drivers. You have to reimage the OS to your SD so starting from scratch to use this screen (unless your more savvy then me) and unfortunately the OS combo is an older OS. I think this screen is not compatible with newer Raspian OS. For me, this is fine, but for a lot of people this will not work for them. Screen works well once you get it up and running though. Read the reviews, watch tt’s for how to’s. And prepare for a battle 🤣.

This is a very nice little screen, I was amazed at the picture quality. It's also amazing this comes with a touch screen and speakers for this price. My only complaint is I tried to use it as a virtual stream deck but wasn't able to get it to work easily and repurposed the monitor for a Raspberry Pi display, this wasn't a problem with the monitor but rather my laptop setup.

Excelente producto, cumple con todo lo descrito

Works well but a little tricky to get working with Raspberry

As other reviews have mentioned, you need to install third party drivers for this display to work properly. However, when used on a Rasperry Pi 0, installation of the drivers causes some sort of issue where it can no longer connect to the network, and thus you can't use SSH to complete the setup. Might be fine for other devices that have inbuilt wifi, but I was not able to make it work over USB LAN, so it accurately is near impossible with a headless setup.

Bien correct pour le prix.

I had a negative experience trying to get it to work with Pi5 and Ubuntu. The support I received was not helpful at all.
