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. I was also amazed with, in my opinion, low resolution of 800×480 pixels. 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. What I liked very much is that everything has worked without complicated driver loading and initialization. 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). The display comes with all that is necessary (adapter board, DSI cable, etc.) and is very well packed so that nothing can go wrong during shipping. Specifications Touchscreen Type: Capacitive touch (10 fingers multitouch) Dimensions (Display): 7 inches, 155mm x 86mm (with edges: 194mm x 110mm x 20mm) Port: DSI-Port (Display Serial Interface) Power Supply: 5V MicroUSB or via the GPIOs Resolution: 800 x 480px Accessories included: 7″ touchscreen display, an adapter board, DSI ribbon cable, 4 x fastening screws and screws, 4 x jumper cable Price: from approximately 70$ (including shipping and taxes) 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.
