5 Inch Touch Display for Raspberry pi 3,pi 2 and Banana Pi

Driver CD isn't very useful for Raspbian Stretch (2017+), see settings below to change (thats all their "drivers" script does anyway).After digging into the Raspbian video settings figured out how to get these types of displays to work properly. See settings below to change in /boot/config.txt: (MODIFY THIS FILE BEFORE TRYING TO BOOT FOR FIRST TIME WITH THIS DISPLAY!!!!)#scroll down to these lines (~line 27)# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)hdmi_group=2 #DMT mode (DVI)hdmi_mode=87 #custom settings modehdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in# DMT (computer monitor) modeshdmi_drive=1The line above is important, otherwise it will appear like there is vertical bands in the display, also disables audio on HDMI. That's ok though, they didn't bother putting audio out jacks on these displays. Usually 3.5mm out on the Pi's aren't audiophile grade but if you leave the volume less than ~85%, it shouldn't distort much. Or just use an $8 USB audio adapter. Some other settings you may want to enable for your project: (down at the bottom of the config.txt file)dtparam=i2c_arm=on#dtparam=i2s=ondtparam=spi=onenable_uart=1dtparam=audio=on (disable onboard audio by placing a # at the beginning of the line)max_usb_current=1dtoverlay=ads7846,cs=1,penirq=25,penirq_pull=2,speed=50000,keep_vref_on=0,swapxy=0,pmax=255,xohms=150,xmin=200,xmax=3900,ymin=200,ymax=3900Overall this 5" display is good bang for the buck. Soon after installing the latest Rasbian Stretch and letting the first start wizard configure some settings and reboot, it will overwrite your config.txt settings so you will have to unpower the pi and rewrite the changes above to config.txt again and your screen should work like before.Honestly, the touchscreen is pretty much useless unless your touches are at least 5mm from any side or the buttons of the interface are set to large. Just get a USB keyboard with mouse integrated and it will work MUCH better than the touchscreen. If you bother with the touchscreen calibrator (sudo apt install xinput-calibrator), the calibration is STILL off and saving to the file as recommended by the terminal at the end of the "calibration" does not persist after a reboot.End result:+ Cheap!!+ Plug-n-sorta-play+ Fairly quick to get setup (caveats above)+CHEAP!- NOT IPS display- NOT really HDMI compliant (have to force DVI & no-HDMI audio mode for proper display)- viewing angles less than ideal, no seriously.- resistive touch input SERIOUSLY lacks in precision (DO set Preferences -> Appearance > Defaults > for large screens.)

Easy to install, worked right away with out me having to install any drivers. It was truly a Plug & play for me. Only thing i disliked about the screen is that with my setup when the PC was in sleep mode the screen would stay on and was very bright. Its not a big deal since i usually shut down my PC and not use sleep mode.

Got this for my pi, as touch interface since I won't be using mouse or keyboard with it.Installation is simple; just plug it on top of your Pi, connect the HDMI adapter and power the pi (you don't need to power both the PI and the screen, since the screen takes power from the PI; although get a beefy power supply or you will get the undervoltage warning all the time) and that's it.Once your screen works, go to github and download the repository for linux, to add touch support (the drivers basically); that will also modify the output of the pi to match the resolution of this screen.Quality is OK; the coating on the screen is decent, and the touch layer is not super, but you can see and read easily in terminal; in X environment it show a lot of "haze", like if there was something on the screen. Remember that this is a resistive touch panel, not a capacitive like your phones or tablets, so you will never get the same quality out of a 20 dollars screen.Also keep in mind that there is a protective layer on the screen when you buy it, which you NEED TO REMOVE; you will see a green tab, just pull that off and the layer will come off. Some complained that the screen was not clear; because they didn't remove the protective layer probably.Touch works fine; not super precise, but works. There is a small plastic pen included, if you need it.Overall great price for an OK screen that mount on your PI and it is quite well made.

The media could not be loaded.  I have not tested the touch screen function.I didn't need the disk it came with. I just edited the config.txt file$cd /boot$sudo nano config.txtLook for the comment saying #Uncomment to force a specific HDMI ModeRight bellow that line should copy and paste or type the following which will force the resolution of the screen layouthdmi_group=2hdmi_mode =1hdmi_mode=87hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0Save the file by pressing --> Control+X then Y and finally Entergo back to the rootFinally check if it worked by rebooting your pi$ reboot

Updatew 10/30/18:I was finally able to remove the touch film, now the display is very clear. I am now not as disappointed as I was.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The resistive touch panel attached is cloudy and makes the screen appear 'out-of-focus'.As I do not intend to use the touch feature, I tried to remove the touch panel attached to the glass of the screen.I could not remove the touch panel to determine if it is the cause of the 'out-of-focus' problem.If you just use a command-line-interface, this display is satisfactory.If you use GUI, I think you will be as disappointed as I am.
