This is a fantastic HDMI monitor with usb touch screen.Utilizing pre-existing Linux/Windows/Mac drivers, this 800 x 480 touchscreen will help you hit the ground running.

Resistive touch function give the user full control over any device. Supports Windows XP SP3, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Android 4.2, Windows CE7, Ubuntu and Debian. Built-in EDID device information very easy to let the equipment correctly identified, USB touch can support functions of the right mouse button and drag and drop.We special design the power circuit for this monitor, which just only need less than 400mA current.

If you do not need the touchscreen function, you just only plug HDMI line to let this monitor run, we"ve tested it successfully on PC, laptop, Raspberry pi, Beaglebone Black, Udoo, computer stick, SLR camera and so on.For use with a Raspberry Pi we suggest editing config.txt to set the HDMI to the native 800x480 in case it doesn"t detect the resolution properly.

There is a easy way to setup resolution of your screen by a shell script, you can download the scripts by git tool and use it to change resolution for your screens as following steps:

Answer: NO, the screen is working properly, all you need is to adjust the resolution of your screen as the instruction mentioned before, change resolution will fix this problem.

Answer: Please check the FPC connector, and you can reconnect it by yourself, and please check the resolution configuration to ensure that the resolution is 800x480, and the power cord is connected to ensure 5V input.

I recently found a discount code through SlickDeals for $10 off the Elecrow 5" HDMI Touchscreen display for the Raspberry Pi. Since the Raspberry Pi was introduced, I"ve wanted to try out one of these mini screens (touchscreen or no), but they"ve always been prohibitively expensive (usually $60+).

This screen hit the right price (even regular price is $40, which is near my "okay for experimentation" range), and I picked it up, not knowing what to expect. I"ve had mixed experiences with Pi accessories from Amazon, and had never tried a product from Elecrow.

This review will walk through my experience connecting the Pi, getting the screen working correctly, getting the _touch_screen working correctly, and then how the whole system works with a Raspberry Pi 3. (See my separate Raspberry Pi 3 model B review).

The display is pretty solid, and comes well packed in styrofoam with four standoffs for mounting, a cheap plastic stylus, and a male-to-male HDMI daughter-card. Getting the Pi onto the board is easy enough; I used one standoff through one of the Pi"s mounting holes (on the side with the HDMI plug), then seated the Pi directly on top of the GPIO slot on the display board, so so the HDMI ports would line up perfectly on the other side.

The Elecrow officially supports the Raspberry Pi 3 model B, but I tested it with a 2 model B as well. I didn"t try it with a B+, but the hardware layout should work, so at least the HDMI display would work correctly (not sure about the touchscreen controls). The way the hardware is laid out, you seat the Raspberry Pi directly onto a GPIO socket (it takes up the first 13 sets of GPIO pins—pins 1-26), and then there"s an included HDMI male-to-male daughtercard that slots in nicely to connect the HDMI output of the Pi to the HDMI input on the display.

There"s an extra OTG USB plug on the display if you want to give it a separate power source, but if you plug it straight into the Pi"s GPIO, it will leech off the 5V connection. As long as you have a good 2A power supply for your Pi, though, you shouldn"t have to worry about supplying independent power to the display. In my usage, I only saw the overvolt indicator every now and then (just like I do in normal usage of the Pi 3, since it uses a bit more power than a 2!).

When I first booted the Pi attached to the display, there was a large white area on the right, and only the left portion of the screen was being used by the Pi (it was only using 640x480 of the 800x480 display). To fix this, you have to set a few display options in the configuration file the Raspberry Pi reads during startup to switch certain hardware settings.

Note: If the Pi boots up to a funny-looking screen and you can"t see anything, you can either reformat the microSD card, or pull it, edit the /boot/config.txt file from another computer to fix it, and put it back in the Pi.

Besides being a 800x480 HDMI display, the Elecrow also has a touchscreen overlay that allows simple one-point resistive touch detection on the screen. Note that at best, resistive touch is not nearly as responsive and intuitive as capacitive touch detection, which you"re likely used to on any recent smartphone or tablet screen. But something is better than nothing, when it comes to building simple UIs for "Internet of Things" devices or other fun things.

I tried to find some kind of downloadable driver for the XPT2046 touch controller, but didn"t find a lot of helpful information. Elecrow"s Wiki has some helpful information, a link to a setup PDF, a link to some configuration examples... but some of this seemed to be formatted incorrectly (likely due to bad copy/pasting or PDF formatting), so ignore that info and use this process instead (all commands run from the Terminal app):

These commands first install the touchscreen calibration utility, then configure the Pi to use the correct GPIO settings so touches can be interpreted as mouse moves/clicks by the Pi.

After you make those changes, reboot the Pi via the UI or in the Terminal with sudo reboot. Once it reboots, you need to calibrate the touchscreen. To do that, go to Menu > Preferences > Calibrate Touchscreen (see image below):

Once calibrated, the accuracy is pretty good, using either the included stylus or your fingernail. Note that the default Raspberry Pi UI is totally unoptimized for small (or even large) touchscreen use. You should probably get to work building your own touchscreen UI now :)

For ~$30 ($40 without discount), I wasn"t expecting a mind-blowing retina display with excellent glare-reducing coatings and contrast. But I do expect no dead pixels, and at least a crisp, vibrant picture when looking straight on. This screen is "good enough" in that regard, though viewing angles aren"t too great; side to side is okay, but looking down from above or up from below results in a bit of a washed out picture. Also, there is no antireflective coating on the screen, so wherever you use it, you need to be aware of nearby light sources.

So, to summarize the review: this is everything I expected out of a sub-$50 display. It"s nothing like a high-end smartphone display with capacitive touch, so if that"s what you"re expecting, you"ll have to look elsewhere. But if you just want a small display that mounts to the Pi easily and is more affordable than the Raspberry Pi Foundation"s own 7" touchscreen, this is a great buy!

can be used as general-purpose-use HDMI monitor, for example: connect with a computer HDMI as the sub-display (resolution need to be able to force output for 800 x480)

A) Take the Raspberry Pi OS 2021-05-07 as example. After the programming is completed, Use Notepad++ to open the config.txt file in the root directory of the TF card, and add the following code at the end of “config.txt” to save and safely eject the TF card.

B) Take the Raspberry Pi OS 2020-05 as example. After the programming is completed, Use Notepad++ to open the config.txt file in the root directory of the TF card, and comment the following two lines

Step 6:Connect the touch interface (using micro USB cable) , HDMI interface (using HDMI to micro HDMI cable) of the 5-inch screen to Raspberry Pi 4 as following, and wait for a few seconds to display normally:

Note: Support Raspberry Pi OS / Ubuntu / Kali / Retropie / WIN10 IoT systems. When LCD works on Raspberry Pi 2/3b/3B+, it will be recognized as the system default resolution.

Step 5: Connect the touch interface (using micro USB cable) , HDMI interface (using HDMI to HDMI cable) of the 5-inch screen to Raspberry Pi 2/3B/3B+ as following, and wait for a few seconds to display normally

Step 1: Connect the LCD HDMI interface to the device’s HDMI output signal to by using the HDMI cable (select HDMI cable according to the deceive HDMI interface), and connect the LCD’s USB Touch interface to the USB port of the device as following

Step 2:  If there are several monitors, please unplug other monitor connectors first, and use LCD as the only monitor for testing. (Testing on win10, it supports two monitor simultaneously）
