The USB plug that offers touch actually powers the unit as well (5v red pin/black pin, touch is the green/yellow wires). The GPIO power cable is redundant and NOT needed to power the screen. You only need that USB plug, and the HDMI ribbon cable. This frees up your GPIO for an ICE cooler running at 5v.
Hey fella, I'm hoping to do the same. I was wondering, do you need to have access to the power/menu buttons on the back of the screen, or will it power on with the PI?
This is why I love this channel. I’m gonna look for a case that might support this. I may need to print one myself. Regardless, this is a game changer in every field the Pi dwells in. Thank you again for this video!
Hey! I get that this is a (relatively speaking) old video and things have moved on a bit, but I'm wondering if there are any recommended equivalents in 2024? UK-based. The key points for me: - The rear mounting, so that the cables etc are behind and not poking 20 miles out of the side/top/bottom. The best I've got so far (at 5 or 7 inch display size) was top-mounted connections and the display included a HDMI "U" adapter. Not bad, but still extended beyond the profile of the PCB the thing was mounted on. - Still cheap enough to be considered "project level" - but not complete rubbish. It'd be for a RetroPie project. - I don't care about touchscreen.
Really been wanting a kitchen media device for playing youtube and such while cooking or even to look up things while you're in there. This might be perfect built into a cabinet or something. Might give it a go.
Have the same and am very happy with it. I love the clean connections to the PI (in my case also a PI4B), nothing standing off the edges for connection. Unlike the other 7", higher than 800x480 (MIPI-interface) resolution displays. I'm also using it with a X735 for power-mgmt and cooling, works great.
Hi sir, i am probably missing something. How do you search for this specific screen as there is no brand? I have watched the video several times but nothing helps. Could you please send me the link to the product? Thank you.
I have this screen. You can power the screen through the USB ports on the pi, you do not have ego use the GPIO port so it allows you to attach a cooler. Also the speaker volume can be controlled through the screen buttons, but it’s hidden in the menu.
I have the same screen and a Pi 3B on it. You can change the volume if you press + and brightness via -. The touch screen works out of the box, but only the left mouse button. This requires one USB 2.0 port, so 3 ports remain open. The native resolution should always be set as the resolution. If you switch off the screen, the Pi continues to run. The power supply that came with my screen was unstable. So I exchanged it.
Absolutely fantastic! This is the perfect screen for my planned project: A multi-audio player (MP3, FLAC from SSD / Internet-Radio / CD) with a PI4B connected to a HiFi Stereo Amplifier :-)
Elecrow have a version of this which uses the same connections as their 5". So instead of the 3 cables on this one, it has the same 2 U-shaped HDMI/Micro and USB/micro adaptors. The only other difference is it doesn't have the mounting tabs that stick out, it has built in standoffs on each corner.
I was hoping to see you run the tearing test like you did with the 5in screen: ua-cam.com/video/xcwqIxySFPg/v-deo.html You even stated in that video that "whenever I get a new screen for the raspberry pi I always check out this video on youtube". I wanted to pull the trigger on this, especially since Amazon has a $10 coupon currently, but I suspect it has some unpleasant tearing, which contributed to this being a "great" device rather than warranting the "awesome" rating. Plus, you even mentioned at 7:58 that changing the brightness doesn't introduce any extra screen tearing than you'd normally see on a screen with the Raspberry Pi given the drivers... That doesn't inspire much confidence.
It is the first time that i see a company to put the simple cables inside the antistatic bag, and the board without any protection. I had a good laugh.
for a glass screen protector buy one for the nintendo switch, fits perfectly. Also check the HDMI ribbon cables, mine was plugged in upside down on the PI side. Had to unclip it and reinstall it to get signal.
I'd like to get this, but.... the Amazon link is pointed to the wrong product... and interestingly there is no reference to the name of this or its manufacturer anywhere in the video.
I have this screen, love it! I've been using it for about the last 6 months and it's been flawless so far :) One difference from the one you show and the one I have (you may have a more recent model) is the small "touch to Pi" lead that you have wasn't included. Instead, they sent a short 3" Type A to MicroUSB cable which sticks out from the side connector of the monitor, so it's not quite as compact as the setup you have here. Just an FYI.
i got similar screen, paid for it 32 bucks on aliexpress, and its great, but its a version without speakers + it has 2 hdmi ports, one on the back, and one on the side, and its shipped with a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter that just fits perfectly rpi hdmi port, so theres no cable basically, i love this thing, wish there was something like that for 100 bucks or something, thats 13-15 inch, so i could make myself a mini laptop with rpi 400, or like a controller board thats very slim for old laptop screens, cuz currently the controller boards are rather thicc, so it would be a rly chunky laptop Something that low power, thats enough for some yt and watching like netflix or something, and doing some office work, that rly sounds nice for me.
I bought a very similar monitor to this, but it has a wheel for brightness and volume which is really nice and simple. But the resolution is just too low (especially with onscreen text and icons), and the aspect ratio is bad for a lot of modern content. Playstation 4 games only take up the middle 60% of the screen. I'm going to sell this one and get a 1280x800 screen.
Stephen Colbert I have the same screen and added a argon pi hat, never gets above 55 degrees running overclocked and doesn’t add any extra height to the pi.
There is another problem when adding active cooling. When you plug the power on the display to the GPIO on the Pi 4, you are only left with 3v power coming out of the Pi. I have the same display and I purchased a small fan that ETA Prime recommends on the video of the 5" display that attaches to the heatsink that goes on top of CPU but when I plugged to 3v power I get an under voltage warning on the Pi 4. I'm new playing around with Pi 4's so there's probably a quick fix. I just haven't found it. Maybe by adding a power management hat or something.
This would be great screen for raspberry pi mini-laptop... Top of the laptop would be raspberry pi and that would help with cooling and bottom part would be the keyboard and battery and probably touchpad maybe even ssd in some shape or form. It's a shame that I don't have a 3D printer so that project is in "Maybe in the future" projects.
The display you link to in the description does not appear to be what's in your video. The video (@4:08) shows a cable going from the back of the display to a USB port on the Pi. The listing on Amazon does not show this connection. Any ideas?
I bought one this week after seeing your video. Actually I had the 5" in my cart, then I looked for your video and I see this one. Anyway, the only issue I have and you didn't show how you fixed it, it's the power connection (USB C). The plug position is a little awkward, and gets in the way of the feet. Or it will be always showing in the front of the device. Solution would be a short plug USB C, a very flexible one or a L shaped plug. How did you do?
Man I'd love one of these in 10"/12" size and 1080p/1440p. I think my RPi4 did 1440p at 59/60hz quickly testing on my latest desktop monitor, this would be killer for a DIY Android tablet.
Does the screen turn on when it is powered or do you need to physically press the power button? Planning on mounting the display so button may not be available after installation.
If this was mounted so the control buttons on the back, such as power aren't accessible, is there another way to power it up or make those adjustments?
That space in the bottom left corner there while you were attaching the Pi4 - is that just unused space? Perhaps a nice spot to tuck a little lipo battery pack if you were putting this in a 3D printed enclosure?
Buyers beware, this looks nearly identical to my EVICIV 7" touchscreen, purchased a year ago. It also has the RPi logo on startup. Except mine didn't ship with the assorted cables and doesn't have the cool power and USB headers, so I wasted money trying to find cables that didn't stick out so far, but they still do. :-( Furthermore, although the EVICIV looks the same as the Longrunner 7" touchscreen and enclosure, their protective enclosure requires serious modifications in order to fit the EVICIV touchscreen. |:{ To be clear, I'm not saying that this touchscreen has the same issues, because I don't know. The cabling is much cleaner on this model. I'm only suggesting that you may want to consider how important the enclosure is and whether one is available. I wish that I had purchased both as a package deal. Having said that, the touchscreen works great. Although it is only rated @1200 x 600, it displays 1920 x 1080 just fine alongside my 50" 4K TV. I suspect the same is true with this model. I'm running my RPi4 with a heat sink & small PWM fan, which is also powered via GPIO. Whenever I power the RPi, USB SSD, fan, & touchscreen from the same wall wart adapter, sometimes the RPi complains about low power by displaying the lightning bolt, usually during high SSD activity. So, I turn off the 7" display and use only the 4K TV (no problem). You gets whatchya pays fer.
I have the exact same display but mine did come with a few adapters just not the one that goes from USB to pins on the display to enable touchscreen. They did include one that goes from USB to micro USB but the connection doesn't look as sharp as the one on this video.
Cpu seems to be facing away from the screen, so height of the cooler shouldn't be much of an issue. If the mounting screws you use are too long to allow it to mount to the screen directly, I'd image a solution with standoffs or washers + longer screws would work decently.
Would it possible to mount a POE+ hat too to this setup? If that's possible it could be used as the first display [in gallery view] as a Zoom drone in a live switcher/vision mixer [where the second HDMI display output is a guest pinned as an input to the switcher/mixer].
I'd like to get H x W measurements from that to see if it would fit a double DIN mount in a car audio head unit. I be it would make a great android auto setup.
This looks like a great screen. The problem is, I have not found a single screen on Amazon with touch screen USB connection on back of the screen. They all show the connection on the side. Need help finding the screen shown in this video.
He always includes links in the description and did in this video as well, of course if you are outside the USA though getting this or many things he reviews can be more of an issue.
How many nits brightness is it? Did you try it outside? Is it decently readable? Im not talking about full sunlight beach readable. Just general outside usability.
Is there a part I can order to connect the touchscreen touch output to the Raspberry Pi 4 without extending past the bezel very far? The link posted with the video shows a standard USB cable (included) for connecting the touch output instead of the special USB adapter shown in the video that plugs into a 4-pin connector on the display board. I'm looking for something like shown in the video. I would like to put the display and the Raspberry Pi into a small enclosure and there is not much room past the screen borders.
Hi there. Do you know where I can find the speaker plug in sockets. My screen came with cable just soldered onto the board I’d like to add then for ease of use. Thank you.
Question. I am installing this as a dashboard for my car and will not have access to the Power, Menu Exit, Up and Down Button. Can Raspberry Pi turn the screen on and off? Also would you know of an option the access the menu using the touch screen vs the buttons? Thank you in advance.
I have the same monitor but the touchscreen function failed to work after plugging in touch adapter . I have a wireless mouse a keyboard connected so I know usb ports work ? Any suggestions ?
I wonder how hard it would be to get a USB hub and battery pack mounted to the back using the two vacant screw holes on the top (or just replace the feet entirely and use the bottom screw holes)
I bought this same screen a while back, but it didn't include the micro hdmi, power or usb for touch accessories. I want to love it, but finding those cables is hard...
In the process of building a Cyberdeck and looking for a good Touchscreen. I found this Display you are testing and was curious if there was a way to control the settings other than the buttons on the back? The plan is to use this Touchscreen, Raspberry PI4 B 8GB, and power it by PiSugar. Not sure if i can mount all of that on the back of this Touchscreen? Thank you for a great demonstration!
The USB plug that offers touch actually powers the unit as well (5v red pin/black pin, touch is the green/yellow wires). The GPIO power cable is redundant and NOT needed to power the screen.

How many nits brightness is it? Did you try it outside? Is it decently readable? Im not talking about full sunlight beach readable. Just general outside usability.
Is there a part I can order to connect the touchscreen touch output to the Raspberry Pi 4 without extending past the bezel very far? The link posted with the video shows a standard USB cable (included) for connecting the touch output instead of the special USB adapter shown in the video that plugs into a 4-pin connector on the display board. I'm looking for something like shown in the video. I would like to put the display and the Raspberry Pi into a small enclosure and there is not much room past the screen borders.
Hi there. Do you know where I can find the speaker plug in sockets. My screen came with cable just soldered onto the board I’d like to add then for ease of use. Thank you.
Question.
I am installing this as a dashboard for my car and will not have access to the Power, Menu Exit, Up and Down Button. Can Raspberry Pi turn the screen on and off? Also would you know of an option the access the menu using the touch screen vs the buttons? Thank you in advance.
Would like to see this with a Windows/Linux laptop or a phone like the Galaxy S10 just for Dex
Hi there, was about to ask the same,
@ETAPrime can you please give a try to those USBC-to-HDMI cheap adaptors with a Samsung mobile?
Wonder if you can add some type of solar panel connection to it to charge it
I have the same monitor but the touchscreen function failed to work after plugging in touch adapter . I have a wireless mouse a keyboard connected so I know usb ports work ? Any suggestions ?
The Pi 4 is running Android better than any Android tablet I've ever used. Lmfao!
have you ever tried this using dex? is it compatible? also with the touch
Hi ETA Prime, Love your information and video. Will it run Zen Pinball and using Joystick? Will Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work on the Android 9 ?
Could you please measure the weight of the screens that you test? Thanks alot! Still waiting for the weight of the RasPad 3 !
How do you know which gpio pins to connect the power to? The pictures at the end were very helpful thank you
I wonder how hard it would be to get a USB hub and battery pack mounted to the back using the two vacant screw holes on the top (or just replace the feet entirely and use the bottom screw holes)
Wish they would do a version of those screens with 4:3 resolutions like 1024x768 or 1280x960. It would be perfect to play shmups in TATE mode.
Bring back 16:10!
That external battery pack, what type of connection was used? Connected to what port? Thanks in advance everybody.
I bought this same screen a while back, but it didn't include the micro hdmi, power or usb for touch accessories. I want to love it, but finding those cables is hard...
Can i put this inside my pc and put a wallpaper on it for decoration?
damn, I just bought the 5" screen from one of your last videos.
Does it work on a Galaxy S8 through dex mode?
In the process of building a Cyberdeck and looking for a good Touchscreen. I found this Display you are testing and was curious if there was a way to control the settings other than the buttons on the back?
The plan is to use this Touchscreen, Raspberry PI4 B 8GB, and power it by PiSugar. Not sure if i can mount all of that on the back of this Touchscreen?
Thank you for a great demonstration!
