7 inch touch monitor

This Hosyond 7-inch touchscreen is a great size for Raspberry Pi projects and looks sharp with the 1024×600 IPS display. Touch response is accurate, and it works easily over HDMI without driver headaches. Colors and viewing angles are surprisingly good for a small monitor. It’s a reliable, well-priced option for dashboards, kiosks, or compact builds.

This 7-inch IPS LCD touch screen has proven to be a solid choice for my various computing needs, but it's not without its limitations. The picture quality is commendable, and the touch response is accurate, making it a pleasure to use for both coding and casual browsing. It connects well with multiple devices, from Raspberry Pis to PCs, which enhances its versatility. One major drawback is the lack of built-in speakers. While I usually connect external audio devices, it would have been convenient to have audio integrated into the display. Additionally, the absence of a power button means you'll need to manage power through your device, which can be a hassle. Despite these issues, it’s a great monitor for the price, and I recommend it to those looking for a reliable secondary display.

A very good screen, nice picture and touch works well. A control wheel to change brightness for the screen and volume for the built in speakers. Cable free installation with adapters for my raspberry pi 4, nice!. I remove a star for the outdated installation guide on Internet. These instructions are for an old version (Buster) of the Rpi Linux and doesn't work on the newer version (Bookworm). When I powered up Rpi, I got a picture but with the wrong resolution 1600x900! To get the native 1024x600 resolution, I had to ( with Linux help from knowledgeable people) force the resolution during boot in an autoexec file.

Pros: * Easy setup with either a Pi3, 4 or 5 - Very clever design with the little connectors on a PCB. Very neat with no wires or long cables protruding. * Clear and crisp display on all resolutions athough 1920 x 1080 on a small screen like this is an eye chart. I have been using 1024 x 576 and 1152 x 648 for my applications. At this resolution the touch screen is very usable even with my fat fingers. * Colors are bright and saturated. Black is as expected for a modern TFT display. No issues. * Worked instantly, no driver issues, no editing config files to get working. Tested with the 2025 version of Raspberry PI 64 Bit OS. * No USB Sound Dongle needed for sound (as the sound comes over the HDMI connection). This saves a USB dongle and amplifier(s) + speaker(s) that would be needed otherwise. * Sound from included speakers is really pretty good and plenty loud. No driver issues at all. * There is a nice little combined brightness / volume control on the side. Works fine. * Multiple possible resolutions (see attached picture). * A little dimmer than the Official Raspberry Pi display and about the same brightness as the Raspberry Pi Display 2. Still plenty bright in an office environment. As good as your average office laptop. * Seems to use the same power as an official Raspberry Pi display. Cons: * Not as easy to mount as the official Raspberry Pi Display screens. * I didn't notice this at first, but this display has a blue color cast to it when placed next to the Official Raspberry Pi displays which seem to have a slightly warm color cast. Again I didn't notice this until I compared the two displays. * Display surface is reflective, but they all are - a limitation of touchscreens. Wishes: * I wish someone would make a good Acrylic bezel / mount for the screen like the Pimorni ones so panel mounting was easier. Bottom line: I would buy this again for sure. Especially if I wanted to try different resolutions.

Crisp display, takes very little power. I only whish the HDMI and power connectors were more inboard to help keep the overall footprint smaller.

Out of the box it was great, with super quick and easy setup. The tutorial instructions were slightly confusing but I was able to figure it out quickly. It took me only a few minutes to update the config.txt file on my Raspbian image, and both the screen and touch are working perfectly on the first try! That said, it didn't take very long for the touch input to stop working, seemingly completely. So, still working great as a monitor and working with my Pi, but docking two stars since it's no longer a touch-screen which is what it's billed as. Others have complained about the strength of the PCB around the mounting holes, but I haven't had issues so far.

These work great, for the price point. I am using for a number of Windows 11 Desktop applications as auxiliary monitors. My main reason getting two of these for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 + Air Manager = Awesome aircraft components in front of my face, and can interact with them! Pros - -You can upscale in Windows to 1920x1080 so that certain apps will still fit on the screen. Small lettering has a hard time due to low actual resolution, but works for most applications that you can adjust scale on(or scale in Windows display options). -Touchscreen micro USB connection will also work to power the screen, so only one HDMI and one USB connections needed. -Multiple connection points so you can choose to have these HDMI/USB cables hidden on back, or coming out the side. -a couple of bonus feet for mounting in your choice of orientation/angle Cons - - If you dont mind connections coming directly off the side, the HDMI connector on the back is soldered on such a flat low profile that almost any HDMI connector I had on many HDMI cables that I already have did not fit. I had to take a knife and shave down the lowest profile connector I had so that I would not have any cables branching off the side connection points. - Low Resolution - This is obvious as stated the resolution in the specs here, shouldn't really be a con considering how affordable these are.

I use this touch display for my Raspberry Pi when I'm on the go. It is a beautiful display, I have watched movies on it. It's super easy to use as you only need to connect it to USB for power and to use the touch capability. It is bright enough to use in daylight but for watching movies I much prefer using it in darker environments. Having touch capabilities is a huge bonus. I would consider this a high quality display and I definitely recommend this to anyone needing a small and portable screen with touch capability. You will of course need to connect with something else for sound such as a Bluetooth speaker or if you have a 3.5mm output on whatever you are using this with as it does not have any speakers. I find it perfect for a Raspberry Pi project!
