I know you’ve been searching for the perfect screen for some time. I’m glad you finally found one. I can’t wait to see the handheld you make with it.
I’ve tried a ton of them. 😂
I'm really excited to see that handheld project coming to life! It would be cool if there were some 3d printing involved :)
yeah a handheld retro machine with that screen will be kinda bad ass. you can swap SD cards and have a small touchscreen PC on the go too.
@@ETAPRIME if you have a ton of them , just give some to me 😂😂
@@ETAPRIME Try Omni Rom on the pi
I literally -MUST- have this. Heck effin' yes.
I've had this for months and LOVE IT!!! I can even hit the Ice Tower (both versions, but you have to be careful to find the right standoffs) and oh yeah... It supports Kali Linux for those who care :)
I always wanted to add a secondary monitor to the front of my pc tower, this little screen would be perfect for that.
That is a great screen. Going to add it to Amazon wish list.
Wow this Is was we all we're waiting for
Regarding the sound, I think you can just right-click on the speaker/volume settings up in the right corner and get a menu from where you can choose which way the sound will go as in HDMI or 3.5mm headphone jack in this case
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SET UP.
I’ve got an old pi 3 that I wanted to use as a media player. This screen might be just what I was looking for.
amazing!! I'd be great to find a matching case to put everything into.
Amazing! I am impressed!
finally, it seems like they thought of it all, event the voltage is not a killer :) nice review, Thanks!
A micro scale display with touch controls is awesome.
I almost thought you had given up on this project. Good too see some progress.
Thank you! I am a noob. But, because of this video, I was able to get the sound working on my Atari Raspberry Pi Retro Gaming Kit. Thank you again!
Nice screen!
I am definitely interested in it.
Thanks nice little display for a pi
Looks pretty cool
Those mounting tabs are actually super handy for mounting the screen into a diy project. Otherwise youd have to use double faced tape or some other custom fixture.
Great video👍I really like this screen. I might pick it up...
BTW isn´t this the screen used in the mini Imac build?
oh I can so hardly wait to see the handheld!
Mine arrived yesterday. Picture quality is excellent. They did a good job with this.
Hey did you have to edit the txt config for the screen to work?
@@edgar-vt5qi I edited the config.txt to what the manual has listed, but I think I recall having some kind of issue. Can't remember offhand now what it was that went wrong, but I think it involved changing either the hmdi_drive or hdmi_mode line value from 1 to 2 and that fixed it.
Thanks for the video! I appreciate the walk-through assembly, and am excited for the future. I'd love to see a portable 4 player retro pie that supports 4 separate arcade sticks. That's one of my pet dreams. Portable Gauntlet Dark Legacy and Dungeons and Dragons Shadow Over Mystara couch co-op style! #powerup #nevergiveup #alteredbeast
Nice little package. It's like you buy the adapters, and they throw in the screen free!
The one thing I am wondering, does multi-touch work in pi OS? The listing says multi-touch works in windows.
would have loved to seen using a usb 2.0 port to power the display. I'm using two 2.5" SSD's via USB 3. But great Display! Thinking about ordering one, I'm looking for an IPS display a long time now. Thank you for your great video :)
Hi Eta Prime, thank you for the great reviews on your channel.
It is precisely because of this clip that I bought the same set for a project.
The Pi4 with 4GB of memory and this 5inch monitor.
The power supply has yet to come in, but if I connect everything as you show in the video, it won't work with a USB charger or power bank.
If I leave the USB connection off for the power display and I supply the display with power via the power bank with a power cable, then it all works fine.
What is your power solution that you use in this clip?
Do I have to continue to power the display and the pi4 each with a USB cable or can I also use 1 USB cable via my Power Bank of 30000?
Because it works with a smaller battery for you.
Thanks and regards,
Wilbert
Looking forward to your handheld.
Looking forward to the handheld that u will be making.. hoping it is gba or switch type form factor
Thank you for this good review. Does it allow pinch zoom on Raspbian? Or do you know any other 4-to5-inches touchscreen which has that function with Raspbian (the Hyperpixel, maybe...)? It's something I am really looking for.
Great product, perfect for a handheld project. Would love if they had a 7" variant.
They have a very good one. I have the one from eviciv on amazon and it’s fantastic. Powered through the Pi and has two speakers. No plugs extending outside the frame.
They do. I’ve been trying to decide myself for a bit, and both size Elecrow ones are in my shopping cart on Amazon right now. IIRC the resolution on the 7” is 1024x600.
Gonna check this out for myself thanks for the info!
oooh... this might be perfect for a Mister portable!
You've found the perfect match: display & battery; the ideal solution would be to mount the Pi side by side to the battery to lower the profile of the whole package (thus leaving a more natural cooling airflow), but anyways an excellent DIY RPi4 mini tablet !!
This is good for using with car! =))
Raspberry Pi Head Unit! Also, if the parts get thinner we can have tablets soon!
Nice review. How long does that battery last with that setup?
I hope ELECROW does the same "upgrades" to their 7" display! The removable mounting tabs, the inset ports with specific adapters to plug in a Pi. I can't stand all the cables sticking out the side of their existing 7" model and old 5" model. That makes it very inconvenient to mount inside a case (or makes your case a lot larger than it needs to be). One last gripe about both: the resolution. Sure I can see a low res on a 5" display. But that 7" display needs to be at least 768 pixels tall. Most modern OS need that much height to properly show their windows, dialog boxes, etc. 600 pixels just doesn't cut it.
Hey ETA is this still the screen you would pick up for this size? Looking to do a handheld build myself.
Awesome !
I'm really considering saving up for a Pi4 8GB
That's a really good screen, I wish it would be 1080p but at least it doesn't have screen tearing. Will you try the new Hyperpixel 4.0 Square? Its a 1:1 720p screen but there is absolutely no video testing it on TH-cam and it might be the best retro console display out there!
That looks nice. I have to say, I made a pseudo 1:1 cabinet so I could play both horizontal and vertical arcade games without physical rotation. It's "pseudo" because it really is a 43" display mounted vertically inside, but only a 2160 x 2160 square is visible. Anyhow, you could achieve same thing in a handheld with this Hyperpixel.
@@4h0w1e6 I'm really digging the 1:1 aspect ratio, I have a Blackberry Passport that serves that arcade purpose and little gamedev (tamagotchi-like and such silly games haha) and would love to see a review for that display, the borders are even on all sides so embedding it would be really easy and clean looking
Nice! Now someone needs to make a nice case for this setup.
I searched around for one but I couldn’t find one yet
Order one and will be working on a 3d case when I arrives
I would love to see this used to make a gba style retro handheld
@@shawntims3817 it would be a little big but definitely doable
Sleeper build! Make one out of cardboard or a milk carton..!
Hello, could you please suggest a snes type controller to play with my Pi-zero-w and retropie. Will sf30 work?
I would love to see this with the LattePanda alpha. All the same setup with the SCB swapped
ETA what about using a controller like an ipega 9023 would be nice to remove the middle part so you can just slide the screen to the two ends, or finding switch like controllers might make an interesting look
It would be nice to use this and controller components to make a decent portable game solution.
Baby Arcade time!! :D
Idk if you will see this as its an old video but are the holes for mounting the screen around 105mm apart? I'm wondering because I was looking at putting one of these on a fan slot if they fit to moniter PC stats. also if it isn't 105mm one way could it be 105mm the other way?
It's always raining outside ETA's room.
I wonder if the armor case with the fans would work with this screen on?
Can you test if you can turn off the display from the OS so you can use it as a display that turns off automatically when it is not in use (e.g. overnight)?
Can it work as a second monitor for pc? great video and thanks
I have an ice tower cooler on my Pi4 would I be able use this and this screen?
If I were to do a PC build solely for emulation focusing on PS2 emulation at 1080p what kind of cpu and graphics would get the job done ?
I had my eye on the 7 inch version. I wanna build a portable arcade of sorts out of a tin lunch box.
Now that's a RAD IDEA!!!
Bro the review of the retroid pocket 2 is still going to happen? Thanks for all the videos tho 🦕
How long will the Pi and Display run off the 1800mah battery?
Not sure if this screen is compatible with videocam? To use it as an external monitor? Thanks for reading
Nice screen, its kind of exciting to think were we are going in the future and how easy it is going to be for some average person to build media or gaming device and how we are going to be able to build small device with single board computers to solve our every day problems without having to rely on manufactures to do it for us.
The question will remain what problem can I solve with a Single Board Computer?
I wondered why u use a Bluetooth dongle with the pi n switch controller do u get better preforming or is the controller not recognised?
This thing looks great. Would u like to test ir?
I'm looking for something similar except with a ribbon cable and not expensive. Any suggestions?
GOOD DAY HOW LONG DID THE PIJUICE LAST WHILE USING THE DEVICE?
FYI. the Amazon link now points to the non IPS screen from what i can tell
Maybe this could be used for making a handheld device and play retrogames on the go :P
Will the screen work for retropie on a raspberry pi 4?
Would be a nice size screen for my homemade camera (videos on my channel). Now if someone can figure out how to record sound in video with the pi camera module without dubbing, it would be neat. I can record the tracks separately and lay the audio track over the video in an editor, but would be easier if it all just worked together without that. I am sure there is a way but I haven't figure it out yet.
does it have a microphone too or just built-in speaker?
What project are you going to use it for? Just curious.
How does the image quality stack up against Waveshare IPS LCD?
Looks like that particular screen is no longer available on Amazon, at least not the package with the 180 HDMI, USB, etc. connectors. I'm having trouble sourcing just the connectors. Do you have links to just the connectors, or even the whole package from another reseller?
im gonna use this with the full size ice tower XD, i gess it's gonna look very weird, but at least it's functional
how much room is there under the juice hat for active cooling?
Please do a review with the pie sugar 2
All I keep thinking is Pipboy. Mount that thing to a bulky bracelet and add Fitbit capabilities.. google maps etc.. Add some fallout skins for flavor.. that would be cool to see.
Are there any cases that are available?
Do you have a link to those 180 degree angle connectors?
@ETA PRIME this video is 6months old. Did u managed to get a handheld working yet?
Good-day ETA
Looks good and has some nice features.
I have a small apartment alarm system I'm working on for a family member and this setup could do the job.
A UPS would be a better fit then this battery setup.
Looking to printout a case for the screen and Pi.
The cost in Canada on Amazon .ca for the screen is around $200.00
Thanks again for sharing.
pi 4 WOOOOO!!!
Can I connect it to my main PC as a second screen?
Any recommendations for a zero w screen?
Great, i have the same project, but i'm searching an good 7" IPS display for rpi4.
I can't install redream on my raspian os.. How you do it?
I just checked the website that you are showing but they no longer are showing the u-shaded adapters or the the fan to connect to the unit. also the unit does not mount the PI4 to the screen.
would be great to find nintendo switch type controllers for this screen is such things exist
Put this in a double din case and do a car automation project!
Hello. Thanks for the review. I will buy it thanks to your video.
Did you had to apply any kind of configuration to the raspi? because the amazon page says that I have to comment "dtoverlay = vc4-fkms-V3D" in the Config.txt file.
P.S.
All perfect... but for god sake! why they decided to populate the USB 3.0 port!?? the screen doesn't need it. In any case,
I answer myself. I got the screen and is AMAZING. you have to make absolutely NO configuration to the device to recognize it, In android just make sure the res is at 480p and in Ubuntu it doesn't recognize the touch out of the box, I haven't made it work yet.
View angles? Accelerometer?
The link and item I got did not have a speaker or fan connection. Are you sure that's not a different model? I got the exact one from your link.
Yessir!
I'm thinking about a great WAV player screen built into the visor in my jeep
The holy grail for a retro display to the Pi 4 would be this, but in 4:3 1024x768. But nobody makes it!!
The product linked doesnt appear to be the exact item in this review
Thanks for this. I've been looking for a small touch screen solution for the RasPi. Btw, does the second HDMI work as well?
Yes, currently I have it on my desk at work plugged into an old Dell monitor as well.
@@zz504 thanks for this info. Much appreciated.
Best os for touchscreen?
Waiting for handheld design
Will the touch work if run off USB 2?
Someone design a 3D printed case now!
I'm all over it. Just need to get the screen hopefully etaprime will ship me the screen for testing lol
Im planning something
I'm planning too many things with it, I actually ordered it a few days before this vid and got it the day this came out. Initially I had been thinking about a car use, I had previously been heavily lhacking at the Honda with the hdmi port, but then my sister gave me an old volvo xc90 which has this 1.5x5 c ubby hole above the cd player. Was thinking like a case that slides in there then I got i stated thinking minicade, then robot, then k9 then 790 robot head then must choose something, i just keep buying things, eventually I will make something or have a lot of random parts
I assume the touch functionality works if I try it with my Windows 10 PC? I've been eyeballing some screens to use as a dedicated bottom screen in DS emulation that would let me properly use a stylus. This one is at a good price point for such limited / specific use imo
It's nothing but limited. It's the holy grail of DS gaming
Maybe this one will work with the Lineage OS Android build that has GPU support since it uses HDMI. My Official 7" touchscreen won't work with the Android build that has gpu support since it uses the dsi connector. :(
