Waveshare 5 inch DSI LCD Touchscreen Display for Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+/3A+/3B/2B/B+/A+, 800×480 Capacitive Touch Sceen Monitor Compatible with Raspbian/Ubuntu/Kali/WIN10 IoT/RetroPie

I've had previous experience with Waveshare displays and I am happy to say that my faith in the brand remains undiminished. I'm in the process of using this with a Pi 3A and the amazing Peppy Player to create an internet radio player. Set up was easy and it feels solidly made and works well.

This is a carefully crafted unit, easy to install for those familiar with electronic interface sockets. No documentation for setting up was provided, but then again it's not needed. No driver is needed for it for Raspbian on RPi4, and certainly no driver is available for Kodi and libreelec and hence the screen is upside down if fixed in suitable enclosure compared to the intended position of the enclosure . Touch functionality works, but a little slow at times, but not a real issue. Screen is clear and bright when viewed from above.

Part of the fun of the Raspberry Pi ecosystem is learning, and you'll definitely be learning and experimenting with this screen because it comes with absolutely zero documentation (there is some online but it is next to useless). I got it all to work in the end after much experimentation with different combinations of screws and pillars and reassembling it probably 10 times. The screen and case are very pleasant, bright, readable even though tiny, and the touchscreen works fine as far as a tiny touchscreen could work with fat fingers. So no problems in the end but definitely a journey to get there.

The media could not be loaded.  Using mine for klipperscreen on an Rpi 3a+ & together they work very well. I like the difference between this & the 7" being that this one does not need an extra cable for power & takes it all from the DSI cable on the Pi. It fits very nicely into a 3d printed holder, but should you wish it comes complete with mounting screws etc to put the Pi on the back. As you can see from the video, the touch response is a tad slow, hence the 4 not 5 stars, but for what I am using it for it's just right. Some people complain that it's not bright enough but that can be fixed from diving into the settings on your Rpi if you want to. For me, I plugged it in & it worked straight out the box, no extra drivers or programming on the Pi needed.

Very nice piece of kit and needs zero config on a Raspberry Pi - very bright clear screen - the fan is quite quiet - but be warned there are no instructions, so unless you know your way around a Raspberry Pi it could be tricky to get set up, especially for beginners!

Works well. But the fan is a bit to loud. I'll stick a better quality one in at some point or run it off the 3.5v rails

Easy to set up on the RPi4 touchscreen works well, good picture. Documentation is easily found online along with technical drawings for incorporation with 3D printing projects.

The product arrived without a manual. There does not seem to be any support listed to get some assistance. The device boots with a temporary multi coloured screen and then nothing. Not sure what else to do now.
