Superior to the "official" Pi display in every way. A little tricky to get working with Volumio.
This is a higher quality display with higher resolution than the official 7" display for only slightly more cash. The touchscreen also works better. I find that scrolling is barely useable on the 7" display, while it is FAR smoother and more responsive on this 10.1" display. The fact that this 10.1" display includes the brick and can also power most Raspberry Pi boards actually makes it great value versus buying the 7-inch display plus a separate good power brick. The only Pi I have had trouble powering from this display was the newest Raspberry Pi 3B+ model. That board gave me a low voltage indicator in Raspbian. For me, it was worth buying a separate brick for the Pi 3B+ to have this screen. I'm using it with a Raspberry Pi 3B+, a HifiBerry DAC+ Pro, and Volumio as a desktop FLAC player. It makes Volumio far more usable. I don't think I could ever go back to using the official 7" display after using a couple of these on projects, so far. Highly recommended.[UPDATE]I'm still using these displays, so I thought I'd give an update. A few weeks ago, I had to use their customer service for a problem. I discovered that one of the displays I originally purchased had a dead area where the touchscreen wouldn't let me click. I contacted Sunfounder support via email and received a fairly quick response. They gave me troubleshooting steps to try which verified that the display was malfunctioning. They replaced the display immediately and the replacement has worked perfectly. Their support was very good, which is something I can't say about a lot of companies selling online. They actually cared whether I was happy with their product. Because of their excellent support, I actually logged onto their website to look at their other products. (I like purchasing from people who take good care of me after the sale.) I can see why a lot of teachers are using them as a source for STEM-oriented equipment, project kits, and accessories. Being able to get help when you need it is extremely important when you're trying to teach technology in today's overcrowded classrooms. Anyway, I'm an old-school gadget geek (an "ancient geek philosopher") who makes a variety of devices as a hobby. Browsing through their items, I found several cool components I plan to use on future projects. I found myself wishing a lot of those kits had existed when I was a kid.Being a picky old guy, I can always think of things I would improve on any product I've ever purchased, so here are a few things I'd like to see on these displays.1. Instructions for configuring these displays with the most common operating systems on single board computers, like the Raspberry Pi. The documentation site was helpful, but I would love to have seen a printed page or even a link to a better set of instructions online.2. Some sort of basic desktop stand. I had to design and 3D print my own stand to use these and not everyone has a 3D printer. Plus, I could have started my project quicker if a stand were included.3. Slightly more power output for powering the latest, more powerful single board computers. I was using the latest Raspberry Pi 3B+ and got low power warnings. More current (~3A) and slightly higher voltage (~5.3V) would have saved me from needing a second power brick, making this screen an even better value.These three wish list items weren't deal breakers for me, so I'm only mentioning them in case others have different requirements. The bottom line is, I still highly recommend these displays, but now I also recommend Sunfounder for their customer service. I hope this update helps.

Great touch screen kit for pi. Not happy with "No Cable" graphic when pi sleeps
I only just received this display and have it all up and running. Install, mounting of a pi 4, and setup was a breeze. The touch works well. Probably not the best touch response I've used, but I'm very happy with how it performs.The one complaint I have is that if the raspberry pi goes to sleep and powers off it's HDMI output...the display does not go to sleep. Instead it displays a 'no cable' graphic in the middle of the screen. As far as I can tell, there is no timeout on this behavior...it will sit there burning "No Cable" into the screen indefinitely. It would be much more sensible if the display would go into a low-power mode instead. I was hoping there was a way to chance this behavior..but I haven't found it yet.Update:I contact SunFounder technical support through their website and they responded quickly through email. It took a little back-and-forth through email, but eventually they decided the circuit board that comes with the display was defective and preventing it from properly entering power savings mode. They shipped me a replacement board at no cost, and after swapping out this circuit board, the display works correctly. It now automatically enters power saving mode when either the cable is disconnected, or if the raspberry pi goes to sleep and turns off it's HDMI output. The tech support was very courteous and helpful, and my issue is resolved so I am happy to update my review to 5 starts.

This is a strong choice in a crowded field of products.
I have several display's from this brand, they all work well, and they have all seen daily use, in mobile set-up's. I have no complaints on the picture. I've had a number of other displays in the 5, 7, & 10-inch range and the quality can vary greatly at this price-point. Glad I found this brand. One negative, the internal speakers are marginal. They certainly don't sound as good as the flat speakers in my iPad, but then again this montor is 10 times less expensive. I just use a good bluetooth speaker or headphones if a need the best sound.

Nice components, soooo close to being perfect
The parts that come are all good- I really like the screen (which is the most important thing here if we're honest).Pros:- Screen is amazing- Price is very reasonable- Everything works and seems decently enough supportedCons:- The cables they provide are just off the shelf usb cables, way too long and clunky for this configuration if you want to package it- They have instructions to tape down an extremely fragile ribbon connector (this is a good step in a fully enclosed device, but these are just hanging around out in the open with a couple pieces of tape to keep them ripping out)- There's no good way to hold it. They do provide 3d printable leg stl's (byo printer+plastic), but that only really holds it in a table top setting. It's the perfect size to be a "pretend ipad" but there really is no good way to hold this device with one hand and operate it with the other- The power cable is like 2' long- given there's no battery with this configuration, I think they should at least give you a cable long enough to walk around a small room with.How to enjoy fullest?- Buy a 12V "UPS" and put that inline with the power cable. Boom it's a portable device now- Build some bumper handles for the sides- now you aren't worrying about touching the components when you pick it up, and it's a bit safer on a real life table where other things might bump into it.- If you're lucky you might have some shorter usb cables for connecting the devices- but if you wanna go above and beyond, clip a USB cable just a bit longer than necessary, and solder the cables direct to the devices board.For the maker? Do all those things in the kit and you'll have the perfect "DIY iPad"Maybe that's not your goal, but that's how my project panned out and these things would've made it perfect for me.
