Excellent AIDA64 Sensor Panel monitor
This monitor makes the perfect AIDA64 Sensor Panel display. It uses an HDMI input (cable provided) along with a touch screen/power input (cable provided). The installation is no different than adding a second monitor of any other type and this part is very simple. The back of the monitor is open but this does n't cause any problems since you don't see that side anyway.The monitor does not come with any AIDA64 templates so you will have to create your own, buy one or find a free one to download. Creating your own is not easy unless you already understand how the AIDA64 Sensor Panel definition features work but it's not very difficult to learn and will give you the ability to monitor exactly what you want to see in the way you want to see it. The primary difficulty with defining a sensor panel is that each item on the display must be added individually into AIDA64 using 'x' and 'y' pixel locations which is not hard but is a bit time-consuming. The display in my photo took me at least 2 hours to define but once it's done your custom display will open automatically each time you turn on your computer. The only other issue is making sure you configure Windows for multiple monitors in "extend" mode. There are many videos available to explain the Windows configuration details. This is a highly recommended product.

Great solid IPS screen with HDMI
Excellent product! Solid build construction, crisp colors, decent blacks. Perfect for my Pepper’s Ghost needs! The seller is very nice and does follow-ups to offer assistance.

Excellent (though not quite perfect) Pi 3 or 4 Screen
This is an excellent solution for adding an LCD to a Raspberry Pi project. The included mounts and clever 'U' shaped adapters meant that I could mount the Pi directly to the back of the screen and connect HDMI and Touch without bulky cables sticking out all over the place!This is going to drive my 3d Printer's OctoPi, but I could definitely find other uses for this design due to how low profile the kit overall is.I deducted 1 star because the screen quality was...well let's just say I'm not convinced that it's actually an IPS panel. Viewing angles leave much to be desired and the screen has that "grainy" or "speckled" look to it that LCDs of poorer quality sometimes have - thankfully it's only noticeable up close or when the background is very bright/white.Overall I wouldn't really want this to be used in a situation where display quality was a major factor such as for gaming, watching videos, etc, but for an IoT display that's more about function than display quality, it does the job.The included fan is very quiet and was a nice addition, though I'm not sure if the thermal tape provided to adhere it to the Pi is actually THERMAL tape or just double sided tape, so I'll probably replace it with proper double-sided thermal tape ASAP.I really hope to see Elecrow produce a 7" or 10" version that uses the 'U' shaped adapters (and a higher quality screen) - the simple addition of those low profile adapters passing A/V/Touch while not cluttering up the GPIO ports opens up a huge world of possible uses for Pi projects.

Accurate touch screen, decent pixel density
The media could not be loaded. I was impressed by the resolution, I'm excited to see what projects I'll make with this. Ample mounting holes and brackets to attach to a case or mount a micro computer to the back.Basic USB touch device and HDMI input worked perfectly on the computer (on windows you need to calibrate the touch screen so windows knows which screen the touch input is controlling. )Power switch is a physical switch on the back, so if you want to control the power outside of an enclosure, you'll need to wire something to that. Shouldn't be too hard. Overall very happy with this and looking forward to making some projects with it. Thinking raspberry pi smart-home control panel.

Very Good display but need some configuration out of the box to work on Raspberry
The screen is very robust, the box is very elaborated it brings all the items needed to make it work out of the box with a Raspberry Pi 4, you need to order the RP3 connectors separatedly. I wish I could come with a MicroSD card extension cable because once you mount the RP4 behind the screen it becomes hard to access the screen, also, you should think in buying a big heat sink because it doesn't bring one.I have the one with the speakers and although the sound is not the best, the small speakers sound very loud.No screen tearing or defects on the image.On raspberry pi, you will need to modify the /boot/config.txt file to make the screen work at a proper resolution. On Raspbian the default resolution will be 1280*720 and the letters look too small.They will advise you to delete "dtoverlay = vc4-fkms-V3D" on the config file but that will disable 3D acceleration. Just only add the following lines at the end of the Config.txt file. I tested it on Raspbian, Ubuntu, Twister OS, Lineage OS and CrankShaft and in all of them work well.# 7-inch Elecrow 1024x576 option without disabling 3Dhdmi_force_hotplug=1hdmi_drive=2hdmi_group=2hdmi_mode=87disable_overscan=1dtparam=audio=onhdmi_cvt=1024 576 60 3 0 0 0This will make the screen work at 1024x576 instead of the claimed 1024x600, but the problem with the 1024x600 is that it is not an standard resolution and that is why they ask you to delete "dtoverlay = vc4-fkms-V3D", but that dosen't work on every OSThe Touch Screen work on every Operative System I tested included Windows, but Ubuntu have some problems to recognize the touch screen once you are logged in on the desktop, so it seems it is a Ubuntu Issue.The touch screen lacks a bit of sensitivity, but for the price is a very well screen.
