    The screen is bad, and good at the same time.
    It’s great, but ONE thing makes the product pretty... almost bad. And that is the screen. You know, the whole point of it. The quality is good, but it’s very hard to look at unless you look at an very specific angle. If you move your head, or the device, it becomes impossible to tell what is happening on the screen. If that problem wasn’t there, it would be almost perfect.

      5.0 out of 5 stars great looking screen
      Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2015
      Verified Purchase
      I bought this screen for a Raspberry Pi Retropie setup I was working on. Be warned, even though it uses HDMI instead of GPIO for display, this is not a plug-and-play screen by any means, it takes a bit of configuration. That said, the configuration method in the comment posted by user "thomas" is what I used, and it worked well after restart. It can draw power straight from the Pi with GPIO, however if the Pi starts to use a large portion of the power (if the processor/gpu is working hard for whatever reason) the screen will be unable to draw enough power and will go white and stop working so well. So if you are running graphic-intensive software on the pi, you will want the screen plugged into separate power using the microUSB on the side. Overall though, great looking screen, great refresh rate, good size - perfect for those portable projects you may have.

      The display works very well. A CD is included with a Raspbian image along with a Windows program for writing it to an SD Card. Also on the CD are various PDF documents with helpful information. A nice adapter connects it to my Raspberry PI 2 B via the HDMI connector, while a standard .1" header socket connects to the pins on the Pi to provide the touchscreen connections and power. After connecting the screen, plugging the power into the display USB connector powers both the display and the PI, so you do not need to have two power cables.
      The touch screen is very responsive, and the display color and viewing angles are pretty good. They even threw in a stylus. I'm very pleased with this product and heartily recommend.

      4.0 out of 5 stars It actually works for the RPI 2
      Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2015
      Verified Purchase
      It works VERY WELL. Its only has 3 problems:
      1) The provided image is an old version of raspbian that does not have the user friendly gui wifi program. For whatever reason updating does not fix this and the screen is to big enough to see the bottom of the provided wifi program. In other words, you either have to use terminal to setup wifi, or setup from an official raspbian image. BE WARNED, the latter option requires the provided disk (which apparently some have not been getting and the posted download link is NOT what is on the disk AT ALL) because it has instructions, and requires a decent understanding of raspbian as the instructions are poorly written with incomplete commands.

      2) The 4 provided standoff screws were clearly an afterthought. It would be more useful in every way it they ALL lined up with holes on the RPI not ONE. It would also help if the threads on the end where long enough to mount to something. As they are now, all you can do is put a nut on the end of the one standoff that goes through the RPI. This is because all of the soldered connections on the RPI are taller than the standoff threads that stick through the mount-hole. It ensured that if you wanted to do the sensible thing and mount the whole assembly (RPI + Screen + standoffs) to a board/plate, you must have more standoffs to go underneath the the provided ones. The standoffs themselves are held on by screws set on top of the main board before the screen was attached. They tend to spin while having the standoffs screwed on. This is because they are held in place entirely by tape over the top (to see how useless this is, the next time you build something, instead of screwing in screws, just tape them on). This mount has the added "bonus" of ensuring that if you press or twist the standoffs slightly, you run the risk of destroying the screen in the same way as if you stabbed your TV with a screwdriver.

      3) The screen uses 26 pins of the RPI, and so next to the input provides a passthrough. HOWEVER, it is for a surface mount device (SMD) type connector, of which they do not provide. This ensures that it is semi-useless unless you can track down a 26 pin SMD connector.

      SIDENOTE: It comes with a DS stylus

      I have created the instructions to setup from blank Raspbian:

      First we must get the screen running, so with the power off install the screen onto the RPI. Then use ssh or other means to control it. (in my opinion ssh is best for this however)

      Type the following:

      sudo nano /boot/config.txt

      Add/modify this text:

      # uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
      hdmi_force_hotplug=1

      # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (here we are forcing 800x480!)
      hdmi_group=2
      hdmi_mode=1
      hdmi_mode=87
      hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0

      start_file=start_x.elf
      fixup_file=fixup_x.elf
      gpu_mem=128

      Reboot the system

      Download touch drivers from http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_HDMI_LCD

      Use a computer to extract all files from the downloaded tar.gz (do not extract the xinput-calibrator inside) and then load onto a USB flash drive. Plug USB drive into RPI and copy to wherever you want to put it, I used the home folder and the following instructions will show that.

      Type the following:

      cd /home/pi/LCD-show
      sudo ./LCD5-show

      The system will then automatically reboot.

      Next we will install the calibrator.

      cd /home/pi/LCD-show
      sudo dpkg -i -B xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-1_armhf.deb
      su pi
      DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput_calibrator

      Use a finger or the stylus and click the on-screen calibration.

      Everything should now work!

      I was not prepared for this to also use the GPIO as I have other needs for the GPIO pins - I was simply hoping for a small portable monitor

      As mentioned in another review the viewing angle is not great.

      Overall, for the price point, it is fun to try out, I am not yet sure if I will use it regularly...I also ordered a 7" LCD (non-touch) to see if that works better for my situation - simply needing a console to debug network settings on the Raspberry Pi.

      Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2015

      It works like a charm with both my model B and model 2B. Just follow the steps for setting up your SD card (format it and copy the image over with Win32DiskImager), plug everything in and enjoy. The Pi charger powers both the Pi and the screen when plugged into the Pi.
      One thing: They say this on the product page but I didn't really know what they meant until I plugged everything in. The HDMI port on the Model B is in a slightly different spot than it is with the other models, so the nifty HDMI adapter doesn't line up properly for that particular model. Everything still works, but you need an HDMI cord.

Just Google it, download and use a jump drive to transfer the files. I didn't use the one that came on the CD as I wasn't sure it was up-to-date. Can't be more happy. Thumbs up.

      It's my own fault, as I assumed things based on 7" screens rather than actually reading the description, but... It requires hdmi, power AND gpio?! What's the point in that? I knew it needed hdmi (the resolution dictates that it's not spi), it needs a power supply, fine (it's big and therefore the backlight requires power) but still needs gpio for touchscreen? So can't be used in projects, basically, as it precludes the use of hats. I'll find a use for it, of course, but yeesh.

      1.0 out of 5 stars Waveshare tauscht Kernel aus
      Reviewed in Germany on January 30, 2016
      Verified Purchase
      Das Display von Wavshare wird mit einer CD geliefert. Auf dieser CD findet man eine Anleitung zur Installation des Treibers. Dazu soll man eine bestimmte Datei von der CD auf den Raspberry Pi kopieren und installieren. Leider war diese Datei nicht auf der CD. Auf Nachfrage bekam ich die Antwort, dass ich mir den Treiber von einer Internetseite holen und dann installieren soll. Es wird auf zwei alternative Dateien verwiesen:
      1. LCD-show-151020.tar.gz for 2015-09-24-raspbian-jessie
      2. LCD-show-150602.tar.gz
      Die Quelle: [...]
      Als ich mir die Dateien geholt hatte, habe ich hinein gesehen und folgendes festgestellt:
      - Die erste Datei enthält ein Betriebssystem für den Raspberry Pi als Image
      - Die zweite Datei enthält ein Programm, welches den Kernel eines bereits eingerichteten Raspberry Pi gegen einen anderen austauscht, der sich ebenfalls in der Datei befindet.
      Einen installierbaren Treiber habe ich auch in den beiden Dateien aus dem Internet nicht gefunden. Ist hier jemand weiter gekommen?
      Mir stellen sich nun folgende Fragen:
      - Warum liefert Waveshare nicht, wie üblich, für das Zubehörteil "Display", einen eigenen Treiber mit? So ist es für alle Zubehör-Geräte üblich. Wenn ich eine neue Maus für meinen Windows-PC kaufe, würde ich es auch verwunderlich finden, wenn ich bedeutende Teile des Betriebssystems austauschen soll.
      - Welche Programme laufen eigentlich nach dem Kerneltausch auf meinem Raspberry Pi zusetzlich? Will ich das?
      - Was passiert, wenn ich über die Raspberry Pi Bibliothek ein Upgrade durchführe? Funktioniert dann die Touch-Funktion des Displays noch? Muss ich dann etwa immer die Wafeshare-Kernel-Version nachinstallieren, damit ich die Touch-Screen-Funktion weiterhin nutzen kann? Passen die unterschiedlichen File-Versionen dann noch zueinander? Laufen meine anderen Anwendungen noch?

      Da ich das Display nun rumliegen habe, würde ich mich freuen, wenn es eine Lösung gäbe. Hat jemand eventuell den Quellcode für den Treiber irgendwo gefunden? Der würde sich dann bestimmt in jede neue Raspian Version nachinstallieren lassen.
