Nice display for Raspberry Pi. Worked out of the box.
This is a nice display with a smart interface for connecting it to the Raspberry Pi. Connectors were included for both the model 3 and 4, which is nice in case I every get an RPi 4 in the future. Everything connected and worked perfectly out of the box, and it even came with a nice magnetic screwdriver for installing the Pi to the backboard. I like this design especially because it is able to connect without using up the HDMI port (uses display ribbon) nor GPIO pins (uses USB port for touch input). Model works well, and my only suggestion would be to update the VGA port to an HDMI port in case the monitor is used with a modern PC later instead of a Raspberry Pi, but not an issue for me since I plan on using it exclusively for the Pi.I also like the tiny bag of screws that they sent.

Nice screen, well packaged, comprehensive kit of parts delivered ahead of schedule
I was very impressed with the comprehensiveness of this kit. It not only contained everything required for use with either a Raspberry Pi 4 or a Raspberry Pi 3, but also a choice of cables for either mounting the Pi on the back of the screen (short cables), or separately (longer cables), and a pair of very nice small screwdrivers (1 x 3mm pozi & 1 x 1.5mm flat). The assembly instructions are basic but adequate, and written in good quality English. The only thing that some may consider an omission from the kit is a 3A power supply, but if you are using a Pi 4, then you already have one (it will power both the Pi and the screen).The quality of the displayed picture is as good, or better, most similar sized tablets. The responsiveness of the touch screen is quite adequate, though not as responsive as modern phones/tablets.I notice that some have had problems with compatibility with the Bullseye version of the Pi OS (apparently a problem with Bullseye rather than the kit - as it also affected the official screen in the same way). However, this must now have been fixed, because it worked straight out of the box for me using a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB RAM and loaded with Bullseye. I have been using it all day long for two days now with no issues.I have my Pi 4 mounted in the standard fashion on the back of the screen with no fan, though I do have small heat sinks fitted, and it runs at a steady 40 degrees Celsius or less under normal light load and has not exceeded 50 degrees Celsius, even under a moderately heavy work load (running AI on a camera video stream). The screen is mounted on the top of a turtle style robot with no case.I have no hesitation in recommending this product.

Works great with Buster based Pi OS (legacy), not with the new Bullseye based Pi OS
This touch screen works great out of the box with the legacy Raspberry Pi OS, but it does not work at all with the newer Bullseye based OS.When I tried it with the new OS image, the screen works until the "shrinking boot" then I would hear a burst of static nose coming from the speaker, after rebooting the colored rainbow screen does not look normal, then the image on the screen "melts", and that's it.I tried all types of the Bullseye image and none would work, but when using the Legacy image, it worked fine.I hope the manufacturer fixes this issue, I really like this screen and I plan on buying more for some projects I'm working on.

Great value for money screen
Wanted a screen for my Pi Audio DAC and this one offered great value. It mounts the Pi to the back and has integrated plugs and ribbon cables so you don’t have large hdmi and usb cables hanging off the side. The power cable plugs into the side and powers the screen and Pi.It did not include mounting screws for a HAT so I had to get those. Also unfortunate was my RCA cables came out the bottom, which was a challenge for the legs as it would not stand up as the cables got in the way. The legs can’t mount on the top because the built in speakers get in the way. The screen is also not optimised for a bottom viewing angle, so turning it upside down and rotating the screen in config.txt really was not optimal as I’d be viewing from the top.So some large rubber stick on pads on the front of the legs tilts the screen back a bit. I would recommend rubber pads if you use the touchscreen as the screen slides easily on the legs.Brightness can’t be controlled by software, only via the dial on the side. Not a big deal; I dim the screen manually when not in use. Have to turn off my amp anyway. So all and all a great screen which was easily modified for my needs.

nice screen, great price
This screen is pretty nice. The image is clear and the touch screen works well. It comes with various connectors and screws to fit a Raspberry Pi to the back of the screen and bring out some of the connectors to the edges. It even has a pair of built-in speakers; they're nothing to write home about, but it's very convenient to have them. There is a physical thumbwheel for adjusting the volume and another for adjusting the brightness.As someone else pointed out, it's tricky to get the microSD card out once the display cable is in place, but it is possible to just manage it. Given the layout of the RPi, I'm not sure the creators of this board could have done much about it.Considering that the price is about half of the competition, I think it's a really good buy.The one thing that could be improved is the information that comes with it. It includes a full-color, two-sided sheet of assembly instructions. A few things were a bit ambiguous to me, but I figured them out. They include a URL for a github repository with some 3D printing design files for a case, but a little README there would have helped a lot.Still, at the price, I forgive most of that. I'm happy with my purchase.
