I"m using it to run a lighting and irrigation system for my house. The color graphical interface allows me to use BMP images of my house and yard for control screens, and its built into an enclosure set into the wall for a slick professional look. I even put an access from the backside of the wall for wiring it without having to remove the Pi or the touchscreen.

This was easy to install and it looks good. The Touchscreen is responsive and clear, but you might want to use a stylus. The only issue i had is finding a case for it. You"ll want to get one right away, unless you have a 3D printer to make one yourself. The screen is really thin, so I didn"t want to carry it around without some protection. Overall, it"s a great touchscreen, especially for the price, and I like that it is Raspi-branded.

I purchased 5 touchscreen. Two before and three in January. Touch and display quality is superb. After two-three month of use (no rough use; handled with care), display LCD and front touchpanel (black bezel) break apart. They both are connected using a thin double sided tape. I was planning to use in industrial environment but after such issue, I dropped my plan to use it in industrial environment.

Five of two displays are not in good condition. First display"s touch-panel and display LCD was break apart after two-three month. The second among five displays had another issue. Display LCD was mounted slightly right side of the touchpanel. Once you power-up display, it is easily be seen that LCD panel was a bit off-side. The other display"s screen guard having so many scratches on them which seems mishandling.

I got a couple of these for several RPi projects that Im developing and they are working amazingly well for the application. If these fit your application needs I wouldn"t hesitate to recommend them.

This screen worked right out of the box! Touch worked great with my new pi 3! However aside how fragile the (non functional) edges are, the only real issue I see is upon shutdown of the pi... The screen goes through a series of screen washes/whiteouts and never really shuts off.. I have to pull power to get it to turn off.. I"ve even tried usb/provided jumper wires.. And both results in the same thing. Not sure if this an issue per se, but it is bothersome.. I can just turn the unit off, I need to unplug it too..

I am using Raspberry Pi 3. The display came up with no problems. I am just waiting for the Smarti Pi Touch enclosure (pre-ordered after the Kickstarter project closed) before continuing to work with it.

The only question(s) that I have are regarding what sort of additional processor power is inside the screen, and whether powering it from the micro-usb connection whilst also bridged from the RPi3 is an issue (it hasn"t hurt anything, yet!).

I WAS DISAPOINTED THAT THE UNIT DISPLAYS EVERYTHING UPSIDE DOWN. I HAD TO USE THE LCD_ROTATE=2 COMMAND IN CONFIG.TXT TO FIX IT. THE INITIAL BOOT IS STILL UPSIDE DOWN BUT I GUESS AFTER IT READ THE CONFIG.TXT, IT FLIPS. SHOULDN"T IT COME STANDARD RIGHT SIDE UP?

The must annoying feature is the bright white screen when it loses signal as the OS shuts down. The touch input is inconsistent as input. I was using the I2C for a device was not able to get it going on the alternate I2C, but fortunately the required clock and data are on the DSI cable ... wasted hours finding that out. An OLED display, higher res, and lower current draw would be really nice in the next version.

I forgot to check that this LCD touchscreen don"t have a case. Much better that you have a notification (e.g. recommending the user to purchase also a case) when purchasing this kind of product. But thank you for this product, I will purchase again soon.

The only minor drawback that everyone should be aware (which is to be expected, honestly) is that the display draws quite a noticeable amount of current. The SmartiPi case comes with an splitter USB cable for the power source, but if you expect to use that, be prepared with a (very) beefy power supply, else you"ll get the thunder icon on the screen all the time and a very reduced performance (Just discovered that the RPi3 reduces its own clock when power is low).

I currently power this with a separate 1.5Amp supply for the screen and a 2Amp supply for the RPi3 and everything works just nice. This totals to a whopping 3.5A, which may be overkill, but keep that in mind as a reference.

I am impressed with this screen, I also got the mating case (SmartPi Touch) and it assembled nicely. With the separate case, the included jumpers and cable are not needed. The PCB was already attached with the standoffs. The packaging was super! The screen is slightly larger than 7 inches. I measured it as 7 5/8" wide X 4 3/8 high with a diagonal measurement of 8 9/16.

This official Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreens now come with the display controller already connected and mounted to the back of the display. You still need to be careful pulling forward the small black tab ends that connect a ribbon cable to the RPi.

I bought the companion enclosure as well. This Touchscreen works exactly as described. I am very pleased with the display. I ended up using a mouse anyway as the icons (while clear are very tiny) and selection areas are a bit small for fat fingers.

I connected it to a Raspberry Pi 3 B running Stretch and it seems to be working perfectly. I had been previously driving a VGA monitor from HDMI through an adapter. The RPI 7" screen started up just fine without changing or installing anything with the OS.

Based on other comments here and looking at one of these at a maker space, I bought the smartipi touch case for this; it"s strongly constructed and works great. Only issue was that I"m using this with a model 3 B+, and that takes a different door on the back than comes with the case (this is being fixed by the smartipi folks, but I don"t know the logistics of getting their new cases into Sparkfun)

I have tried other touch screens for the Raspberry Pi. They had complicated assembly and were very difficult to get them to work. This unit was easy to install and get working, is very nice looking. I am very Happy with it.

Right out of the box it worked. Didn"t even have to do anything to the RPi (in fact, both were taken out of the box at the same time, connected, and worked on the first power up). Screen quality is good for price. Also ordered the "SmartPi Touch" case which holds everything together very nicely.

Ordered it, a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, and a power supply. (Had a mouse, keyboard, and uSD on hand.). It came a couple of days ago, and I put together yesterday. Had noticed in the documentation that there"s a micro USB power input, and a standard USB output. In the configuration where the power supply is plugged directly into the Pi and the LCD interface is powered via a USB cable plugged into one of the Pi"s USB ports to the LCD"s micro USB, the LCD won"t light up at all. When the power supply is plugged into the LCD controller board and the USB cable connects power to the Pi, I get "low voltage" warnings (yellow "lightning bold"). When I use the provided F/F jumpers, it works fine, but this will cause problems plugging in other "hats", as well as clearance problems. (In my application, separate power supplies would be a BIG PROBLEM.) BTW, I checked with two different USB cables, and got the same problems as well as when I tried an Adafruit 5.25V power supply. (I was about to try a second RPi3B+ when the original one stopped booting. Fortunately I had another that I"d been using as a "pass-around" sample at talks, and fortunately when I tried it, it still worked, so now the "dead" one will be passed around!) Also, it could prove really useful to know what size those mounting screws are in case they get lost! Ace Hardware recently opened a new store about half a mile from my house!

The screen is portable enough to take with you and the Pi will use it with no configuration change when it"s powered up. Used it to set up several Raspberry Pis in a remote lab. Touch screen is nice but bring along a keyboard if you have to do any setup work. One thing to make it better, replace the jumper wires with a ribbon cable connected to 1x5 and 2x2 pin headers.

I have a Raspberry Pi in each room of my home and they run a Kiosk interface for home automation, cameras and more. I"ve tried some cheaper ones and none have survived. (I"m hard on equipment) I haven"t managed to break one of these yet.

Got a PI3+, 7" touchscreen and SmartPI case for manufacture test. I put these together and booted the latest Raspbian. The LCD and touchscreen connect to the display connector using a short FPC cable. The display booted and the touch screen just worked out of the box. There were some nice but not well documented improvements. They provide a Y USB cable to power both the PI and the LCD. This is a cleaner solution than the jumper wires they provide.I"m not a big fan of using lego blocks in a industrial environment but the case went together easily and does a decent job of protecting the display and the PI. Some reported a inverted display issue but that seems to have been resolved.

A truly plug-and-play display for the Raspberry Pi. Does not steal any additional extension connector pins if you power it with a USB power supply and leaves the I2C1 interface available for other devices.

Big enough for somewhat squinting actual Raspberry PI development and computer work, but really shines for touch screen optimized large button control panels.

You can just install a Pi3 or 4 on the back, but with a 4 you really need some additional airflow. The SmartiPi Touch 2 enclosure works better. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16302

It works fine, no glitches, no problems, no hair pulling moments. Once electrically connected to my RPi 3B+ it"s good to go. I run it with the "lite" version of the Raspberry Pi OS with only xorg drivers installed, no full desktop or windows manager, as part of an in-the-field project with a HQ camera attached. My only complaint is the ribbon cable could stand to be about 6 inches longer.

It works great, the colors are beautiful, and finger touch works fine. What I like most is that the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins are all still available - except for one +5v pin and one Ground pin. Both are redundant (i.e. others are available). So, this is not an issue at all. I also like that data connects to the Pi via the IPS ribbon cable. Another thing I like is that power connects to the Pi via two jumper wires. The Pi is fussy about its power supply voltage. So, the jumper wires are better because they are heavier gouge than a small PCB trace.

I connect a Pi v4 and put the whole thing in the SmartPI Touch 2 case from Sparkfun and now it looks pretty professional. Make sure you use a good power supply.

Where is the documentation? This thing is so poorly documented it"s almost a joke. The whole point of the RPi ecosystem is to enable Makers and learning about electronics, so why isn"t this fully documented?

I used this to build a portable utility/testing device for my company. It works fantastic with the SmartiPi Touch Pro Case on Amazon. The touchscreen functions great, only thing is you can"t register mousedown and mouseup events in Chromium (only click). Other than that it"s great!

A SmartiPi Case is also included in the package. It is a freestanding Raspberry Pi case designed to house your Raspberry Pi 7 LCD touch screen along with your Raspberry Pi board neatly behind it. Nobody likes the mess right?  This case will help you handle the mess by putting your RPi board and a 7-inch touch screen together.

We love this casing - The SmartiPi Touch Case, and it is now version 2 which is upgraded to be compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2, 3, and 3B+ and the latest Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.

The SmartiPi Touch is a case and stands for the Official Raspberry Pi touch display. The display is secured into the case with four screws. A Raspberry Pi 3, 3B+, 2, A+, or the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is then enclosed in the compartment on the back of the case. A simple door covers the RPi when it is in the compartment. The ribbon cable that comes with the display connects to the Raspberry Pi DSI port. The stand has a pivot that allows you to adjust the angle of the screen.

The SmartiPi Touch 2 is a case for the Official Raspberry Pi Display, Raspberry Pi (3B, 3B+ and 4B), and Raspberry Pi camera. New features include an integrated camera mount, three interchangeable faceplate options, and a cooling fan.

Here is a project that demonstrates the use of this touch screen for TelegramBot (In Bahasa Malaysia):Note:Everything shown below is included EXCEPT the Raspberry Pi board and Raspberry Pi camera.

The included ribbon cables are attached to the Official Pi display and the Official Pi camera. The longer cable attached to the camera is routed under the display control board.

The Raspberry Pi is then assembled into the back and the ribbon cables attached as shown. The fan can be attached to the 5v GPIO pin (7500 RPM) or 3.3v GPIO pin (4800 RPM)

Two different back door versions are included with the kit. One door features a punch-out that can be removed to expose the GPIO pins. The other door allows the installation of a cooling fan.  Neither door works with HAT boards.

To use HAT boards the door must be removed. Standard HAT standoffs can then be screwed onto the Pi mounting studs. The optional back cover accessory can be purchased separately to cover the HAT board.

raspberry pi foundation 7 touchscreen lcd display price

There is an official 7-inch touchscreen module for the Raspberry Pi: After testing it under different applications for some time and also putting together a FAQ thread, in this article I summarized my impressions and the advantages and disadvantages of the display.

With its 7 inches, the display is in a good range – big enough to handle GUI applications, but still power-efficient (350-390mA at 5V). What I liked very much is that everything has worked without complicated driver loading and initialization. At first, I was sceptical because no calibration was needed, but as it turned out, touch detection is amazingly accurate, even more accurate than my resistive touchscreen with calibration.

I was also amazed with, in my opinion, low resolution of 800×480 pixels. Since 720p and partially FullHD videos are playable on the Pi, I would have expected more here, but in practice, this had less impact than I suspected. Now that I have tested the display for some time (and possibly got used to the resolution), I find it is not as annoying as initially assumed. On the other hand, this has probably also been sacrificed to the price – the Raspberry Pi Foundation manufactures devices that are as affordable as possible, sometimes compromising (such as the Raspberry Pi Zero).

In comparison, partially similar displays cost a little less, but almost all of them have no capacitive touch. In addition, all other displays occupy many GPIOs and/or the HDMI connection. With the official 7″ display it is possible to connect another display.

Anyone who plays with the idea or has already bought such a display, most likely already has a project in mind, for which he wants to use it. I especially like the display for the following projects:

I’ve been thinking for a while about building a CarPC, but so far I was been sceptical, especially because of the displays. First of all, most other good 7″ touchscreens, which are compatible, need at least 12V. I plan to build a module that can either be powered by a cigarette lighter USB or built into the radio slot. Well, with this display, I will probably implement a car PC in the near future.

The previous places of use for my display were as a panel for my radio-controlled sockets, surveillance camera, infrared barriers, etc. For this, I have written a GUI with Python, which accepts my input and executes appropriate commands/scripts (GUI tutorial will follow soon). So that the display does not draw power constantly, I have put a motion detector over it, whereby the display is switched on as soon as someone approaches the panel.

Another interesting project, which was found is the Raspberry Pi as a tablet. For this, you can download a 3D model and print it with a 3D printer. In addition, you need a flex cable, a PowerBoost and a Li-Polymer battery.

As mentioned earlier, the touchscreen has some very positive aspects, but also some that speak against the display, which I will briefly summarize so that everyone can decide for themselves if this display is suitable for their own projects and ideas:

For some of my applications, the DSI cable was too short, but luckily a longer (50cm) can be purchased or e.g. the longer ribbon cable of the Raspberry Pi camera module can be used.

I suppose that in the future more applications will appear for the Pi which makes use of the 10-finger touch and thereby also it should be easier to find answers to certain problems of the display, than previously, where one had to be lucky to find support for exactly his touchscreen model.
