RC050

This thing works great.It fits well and the border quality is really good. Obviously, there's no built-in speakers for something like this, but regardless, we use this for a project in our engineering class. So that way, we didn't have to rely on a monitor when booting up our raspberry pi 5. It's very fair for the price and setting it up was relatively straightforward. What I loved about it is is it didn't interfere with the io pins

I have been working on creating a display for my motorcycle using a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and CAN bus data. I ordered this screen about a month ago (October, 2019). It came very nicely packaged and had no defects from what I could tell. I had plugged it in to my Raspberry Pi 4, and it was clear and bright. Perfect for what I needed it for. Unfortunately I had started to see signs of deterioration within the first couple days.. I had left it in a fairly cold room. When I had checked on it the next day, the polarization filter had started to peel from the LCD and the touchscreen had started to fail.. HOWEVER: Elecrow had contacted me after seeing that I had a somewhat negative experience and offered to send me another one to show that their screen is capable of meeting my demands. Before I wrote this review, I had to be sure that I would not see the same results again. So I placed it in the same room, with even colder temperatures than what had started to affect the other one.. I waited for two days, and when I checked, the screen was fine! There were no issues with the touch functionality and the filter showed no bubbling either. Worked plug and play with my Raspberry Pi 4 and will definitely add a nice touch to my motorcycle. I definitely would recommend this product. I'm fairly certain that my situation was a one time occurrence, as this one has absolutely no issues, and I applaud Elecrow for their awesome customer service in the long term. Happy holidays, and best of luck on all your DIY projects!

Initial thoughts - No extra software needed to have a 2nd screen for Windows. I'm just using it for a monitoring screen but I haven't decided where to mount it. A 3.5" may have been better for this but I like tinkering and I would probably be saying "5 might have been better" if I had gotten the 3.5. A shell for it would be nice. Also there's 2 micro usb power ports. You only need to use 1. I don't like the included HDMI cable because it's flat, wide, and stiff. But if you're using it with a Pi it's probably perfect. Overall, it works as intended and I'll be back with pictures when I get it mounted. If the seller reads this, feel free to email me if there are shells available to buy somewhere

So I bought two of these monitors expecting them to be low quality, however after using them for about a week and having them on 24/7 so far they have worked great. I mainly use these to connect my windows 10 pcs and they work rather well and the touch screen works too right out of the box. The only down side to the size of the monitor is that you can't really use the touch screen if you have big fingers that well. Some of the cons that I have noticed right off the bat is the usb cable for the touch screen and power is just too short and will not reach if you have a desktop because the cable is about 1ft long, thus the range is very small. To solve this you would need to buy a usb extender cord. The next issue that I found (and had not bothered me since I don't hold the screen) is that the back of the monitor is bare. The board is showing and I would note feel comfortable touching it with wet hands or have any liquids near it. Other than that I have found this monitor rather useful.

The one thing I missed by streaming SiriusXM music on my PC instead of a receiver was the ability to tell what song it was and who was singing with just a glance. I had to navigate to the correct browser window (since I almost always have two open) and then click on the Sirius tab. Now, I use this as a third monitor via HDMI since my computer supports it. I open Chrome on it and set Sirius or Amazon Music to full screen. When a song comes on, it takes about a second to get the information I want. The panel is easily readable, even from a somewhat narrow angle. While I use it at work, so it's music-only, it would also be a great little display for streaming videos.

works fine

L’ho comprato per metterlo all’interno nel case e usarlo come monitor di servizio con Aida64. Funziona senza problemi, alcune recensioni dicevano che questo modello si spengeva da solo allo spegnimento del pc, non è così nel mio caso però, ho dovuto disattivare la corrente alle USB nel power off. Se vi dà fastidio l’estetica su thingiverse trovate anche una bella cornice da stampare.

Prodotto ottimo. Non perdete tempo come me con i display da 40€ che IPS non sono anche se lo riportano nella descrizione e che hanno una luminosità bassissima. Questo display oltre ad essere molto luminoso lo si può anche regolare. Completo di tutti i cavi non servirà nient'altro. Io l'ho preso per fare questa piccola mod al mio case e sono rimasto veramente contento, soprattutto dopo due tentativi andati male con schermi di bassa qualità...comprate questo.

Habe das Display in Verbindung mit einem RaspberryPi Zero W als mobilen Emulator am Laufen. Größe und Auflösung sind für einen Handheld absolut ausreichend. Einrichtung ging ohne Probleme und die Abnahme des Tons über direkt an den Kopfhörerausgang gelötete Kabel läuft auch ohne Einschränkungen.

Exactly as advertised, a very nice device. I have very sparse use though

"NO SIGNAL" message when setting vcgencmd display_power 0 is no go in RPI automation projects. Workarround could be to cut off power on usb port. But I'm missing programming options on it.
