for Raspberry Pi 4 TFT 3.5 inch Touch Screen with Case, Mini Cooling Fan and Heatsink, 480x320 Resolution 60fps Monitor LCD Display

Hey if you need a "minimal" screen and case, this thing is perfect considering that it's about the same price as a case without the screen. There's another similar model being sold on Amazon, and this one is better because the plastic around the power and HDMI ports is thinner, making it easier to insert the plugs. There's also some additional venting, although the utility is up for debate since these things barely need active cooling. The driver for the screen is pretty straightforward to install (although honestly it should come with Debian package files but this isn't a perfect world). The heat sinks attach with simple gooey tape (some others use foam tape which baffles me because it's generally an insulator), and once assembled the case holds together pretty well. There's just enough room cut out around the sdcard socket to be able to get the thing out if you use a bit of fingernail.The images show the screen being used with a stylus, which is how you'll use it. It's not sensitive enough to be readily useful with a fingertip, but it does at least work. It doesn't seem to be bothered by having a repurposed cell phone screen protector put on.

DIFICULT TO INSTALL

Do not buy this if you intend to use a GUI with this screen on your RPi. the resolution is way too low for any practical desktop GUI. Most applications on linux do not scale properly to the screen, with most of the window off screen and unaccessable. This screen would be better suited for CLI or something like a RetroPie setup.

El monitor TFT de 3.5 pulgadas para Raspberry Pi 4 es una pantalla táctil compacta que ofrece una resolución de 480x320 píxeles y una tasa de actualización de 60 fps. Es ideal para proyectos de interfaz gráfica y control táctil, además de incluir una funda protectora, un mini ventilador de refrigeración y un disipador de calor para mantener la Raspberry Pi a una temperatura óptima.Características principales:- Pantalla táctil capacitiva, compatible con Raspberry Pi 4.- Resolución de 480x320 píxeles, con buena calidad de imagen.- Interfaz SPI, asegurando una conexión rápida y estable.- Mini ventilador y disipador de calor, mejorando la refrigeración del sistema.- Funda protectora, proporcionando seguridad y estabilidad al dispositivo.Este monitor es una excelente opción para proyectos de visualización portátil, sistemas embebidos y estaciones de monitoreo.Aunque para el modelo Raspberry pi 4B esta generando conflicto a la hora de instalar los drivers completo aun siguiendo el manual.

The case included a piece that could be used if I didn't want the display.The instructions went very smoothly.This is really for someone that wants to play retro pie, recallbox or in my case write programs to a very nice portable display. I think my price was very cheap considering this had a display, touchscreen, case, touch pen and screwdriver.When Setting up the software, I skipped hooking up an HDMI display and just did an ssh RPI4.local, then I picked up the instructions to the point where a terminal was opened.Another thing I did was use Ctrl+Shift+X from the Raspberry Pi Imager software running on another raspberry pi. I set the hostname and enabled ssh. Then, the image placed on the micro SD card allowed me to turn on the device and ssh directly without attaching an HDMI cable to a TV.Nice.

Needs drivers. Couldn't use on initial boot..

use with my pi 4 just wish it had a cover for the screen.. cause i use it outside in my bag...

The media could not be loaded. The driver install was easy ssh with putty I use lcd to view my pppwn for ps4
