eleduino RasPi 2 Model B Quad Core Banana Pi/Banana Pro and Beaglebone Black 7 Inch 800x480 Pixel Hdmi Input Capacitive Touch Screen with Bracket

The LCD screen itself works fine, though not the greatest resolution. However, there are no available drivers for the touch screen for Raspbian. The manufacturer has an available Raspbian disk image that is supposed to have working drivers for the touchscreen, but the download link for just the driver leads to a Dropbox page that is no longer available. I haven't downloaded the Raspbian image as I'm assuming it probably contains typical vendor crapware, and I'm happy with my current setup. I'm going to try and setup a separate sd card with their Raspbian image and copy the drivers from it when I have the time. There may also be some common opensource drivers I can find and make work, but I haven't done much research yet. Also, the config.text isn't correct in the manual, check raspberrypi.org for info on the config.txt file. I got the screen size setup right adding only hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 0 0 0 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=87. All in all the physical screen is nice, but you're only getting half of what you pay for with no drivers available, and the vendor has awful customer service. I had to put way too much work into getting it halfway functional. So I would get a different screen if I could go back and do it over.

The only thing I wish is that it had included standoffs for the raspberry or whatever board one will use it with. I think the display is awesome and its colors are fine and I have used it with my Nintendo wii and has worked well. The stand has two bars that are held by friction and if you are moving it around they may come off from time to time. I suspect this is nothing that a drop of hot melt or some other adhesive would not fix.

I brought this product thinking that it would work well with my new purchase of a Raspberry Pi 2 and it turns out that after a month of trying to get it to work as advertised it just will not. The touch functionality which the vendor claims will work with it packaged software is not true as written. In fact I have not been able to get it to work with the provided software at all nor with the NOOBs Raspberry Pi software. Additionally, I installed Open-elec and the OSMC media center software with the built in touch functionality, in the skins, and it still fails to work. The only saving grace for this monitor is the fact that it does have a pretty good screen display. That's why I am giving it 1 Star. If your looking for a touch screen look somewhere else.

I bought an Eleduino kit that included this screen. This screen was the reason I selected the particular kit that I did. It doesn't function as a touch screen as other reviews have already mention. Also, the framing for the stand is very poorly designed. It falls apart very easily, and mine actually broke very easily. Superglue fixed it, but it is cheap material. I recommend looking into another screen.

Plastic stand broke within minutes of the hours it took to peel sticky protective paper. Screen functional but not much of a pi mount on the back. Video cable slightly too short to reach with rear mounting.
