SunFounder 10.1'' IPS Display for Raspberry Pi - 10.1 Inch Portable Laptop Monitor, 1280*800 Resolution, Cooling Fan (Non-Touch)

I bought two of these. Both have clear, bright images and no observable pixel defects. I find the controls more intuitive than other monitors of this size that I've used. While designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 4, it should accommodate many other small SBCs that adopt the RPi form-factor, though most will require replacing either/both of the power and HDMI cables. Do note that, without modification, the case will not accommodate the large heatsink found on the Odroid C4 due to inadequate clearance between the heatsink and the GPIO connector. The case and monitor make a nice tidy setup when combined with the official RPi keyboard and mouse. Highly recommended.

This is a complete setup, all you really need is a keyboard and mouse. That being said. Get to 30mm fans to install n the gpio pins. Install using current 4 posts screw locations. Two per fan. Stagger them when installing. Make sure you have heat sinks on the pi. Take the plastic clamps off the internal hdmi and power cords, requires you to open the entire case of. I had to on mine due to they were poorly installed, hdmi board was not plugged in all the way. With two fans on the pins keeps the pi on a 34c to 45c temp. Reducing the black light takes some heat off the pi. Otherwise you can see your rpi4 reach new temps. The fan that comes with it is not near enough and poorly made. If you use a micro sd card install it before you put in the rpi 4. I use a 3.1 usb for it. Otherwise the case is just fine. Speakers are good too. I used a eternal quick charge for mobility so purchase a CY DC 5.5x2.5mm to Type C USB-C Input Cable adapter. Wifi on the rpi4 works still as some rpi4s fail the wifi lifespan. Currently my rpi4 8gb with a usb 3.1 installed os (twister) works really well on this setup.

Bright, great viewing angle, works well, everything fits. Most screens for the Raspberry Pi are open frame, with mounting screws. That’s great if you want to build them into something else, but if you just want a Pi with a screen? I had my Pi booted up and displaying pictures in about 5 minutes. My only real criticism is that you can’t access the second mini HDMI port on the Pi 4. The two ports are right next to each other, and there isn’t enough space for another cable. Maybe if you opened it up and drilled a hole. But as long as you’re happy with that, it’ll work well.

I was looking for something to take on business trips that would allow me to play games or watch videos and this worked perfectly. One feature this has that similar products don’t is it has access to the input/output pins. It even has a built in fan and speaker. Although the speaker is a bit “tinny”. That wasn’t an issue as I was using headphones. For the price, I have really enjoyed this.

I had problem with this screen since I first test it, the screen started to loose signal and reconnect itself every time. At first I thought that the power connection but then when I open it and change the HDMI cable I found out that the cable had problem.

i'm pretty disappointed in this product (sunfounder 10.1 inch screen for raspberry pi), due to one critical issue/component – the USB power to the raspberry pi is VERY weak and unstable (pretty much unusable), Which will lead to (even a non-loaded raspberry pi) cutting off or rebooting (in my experience, it always cut off, never rebooted, not that either is desirable. My estimation is that the USB port cannot provide more than 0.4 A at 5 V (and I'm being generous in that I think it may just be a standard USB port capable of 250 mA at 5 V) in the photos you can see that how I took my measurements and the monitor alone (without a Pi powered up) consumes about 0.4 A at 12 V, add in a raspberry pi 4 or 5, and that increases to about 0.65 A at 12 V, once you do any activity to increase the draw to 0.8 A or 0.9 A at 12 V the 5 V USB will fail and the pi will be powered off. (keep in mind. These numbers are of the 12 V power supplied to the entire unit so that also includes the 10" monitor.) this is why I had to give this 10 inch monitor one star. im well-versed in electrical engineering, and know how to properly test the available voltage / current . had this company spent anywhere from one to three dollars extra, This would be an incredible and unique product. As it stands now, it is literally nothing more than a standard commodity 10 inch monitor with mounting for a raspberry pi. I say that in the sense that you can find several 10 inch monitors which also have a USB port (usually for plugging in a thumb drive to play videos from). From my examination this 10 inch monitor is nothing more than one of those- they have taken no additional steps to increase the current that the USB port can output, this is critical/a major overlook by the manufacturer as everyone knows all generations of raspberry pi need decent power. I have tested it with a raspberry pie 4B as well as a raspberry pi 5 The included 12 V 3 amp power supply (wall wart) actually is not bad in that I was able to load test it for 12 hours pulling constant 2.4A while it was outputing at 11.7 V . The 10 inch screen actually has a pretty good picture/image, I'm quite happy with that part. in the end, as this is unfortunately the only 10 inch monitor I can find that also has built in mounts for a raspberry pi (such that only one plug is needed for the pi and the monitor) - I had to keep it and modify it, I ended up opening it up and adding in a DC to DC buck converter, 12 V to 5 V/USB-C, which I tapped off of the 12 V coming in to the monitor, as well as used a better 12 V four amp power supply). my Use case for this is a very low load application in then I'm just displaying a single , 720p at 5 fps, h264 RTSP stream, and the PIs ubuntu load average never goes above 0.2. I wish sunfounder would upgrade this model, as I would be fine, paying more for a device with a decent power supply to the raspberry pi. (or better yet a different manufacturer would bring to market the same product but with this simple and critical improvement). I would be more than happy paying an extra $20-$30 for a product that works, and sunfounder would do even more sales ad the community would buy up a working device like i describe, and the reviews would be great One other note, I would've liked to have seen some better cables going from the pcb board to the pi (it's very difficult to plug in the USB-C and the micro HDMI, as they use very cheap and large/stiff cables). Additionally, there's very little room in the cutout to move those cables around, they could've simply cut a little more plastic or used better cables.

I got this screen in an attempt to make a DIY Pi laptop and if it worked properly it would be perfect for that. Unfortunately while using it with a Raspberry Pi 4 with the provided mini HDMI, the image will cut out for a second at random, then the screen will show a rectangle with HDMI settings as though it were just booting up. I tried everything I could in an attempt to fix it, from switching to a brand new Raspberry Pi, to altering the /boot/config.txt file to include 'hdmi_safe=1' (HDMI safe mode), to trying different operating systems and display settings. I even returned one and got a replacement, but it had the exact same issue. It's a shame because I really like the idea behind it, the integrated Pi fan, and the display itself is great. It even works fine through the external HDMI. Unfortunately, it just can't manage to do the main thing it was designed to do, at least not for more than a few seconds. Also, many of the five-star ratings here mention a touchscreen, which this product doesn't have, leading me to believe that the very high rating this product has might not be entirely on the level.

I use the monitors to display raspberry provided information for Amateur Radio Emergency Communications. The displays are large enough to adequately display radio information. These stations are solar powered and the displays draw less than an amp at 12 volts. They do an excellent job!

Nice screen even if I returned it as I already had a webcam.

This is incredible, such a tidy and elegant solution to converting the raspberry pi 4 into a little dedicated computer. It is simple to install and connect the cables, and youre pretty much good to go. The IPS screen has great viewing angles and the resolution is comparable to a modern tablet PC. Very nice, would certainly recommend.

What is it? This is a 10 inch all-in-one design IPS display fit for a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B board. It's made for Raspberry Pi but it works as a functional standalone monitor. It comes with additional heatsinks and tools to help install the Raspberry Pi board (something you'll need to purchase separately) as well as a cooling fan assembly supports cooling of the board. It's a neat design that follows the curves of the screen so once it's all bolted together it looks like a single piece. Also included is a power adapter, screen stand and camera frame should you wish to install a self facing camera. How is it? For a 1280x900 IPS display I didn't expect much in terms of display output but I was pleasantly surprised to see a bright and crisp display. The product description mentions a fast rate but doesn't offer the screen specification, however the image quality is decent. Viewable screen is impressive too, with a 178 degree viewing angle. My future plan is to purchase a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and have it fitted to this for a standalone computer to use for portable purposes, but for now as it can be used as a standalone monitor, I look to pair it with my CCTV system so I don't need the overkill of my living room TV to view all the cameras. For indoor based video work, I can use it as a field monitor via HDMI which is super helpful. Conclusion/Verdict? A surpringly vivid screen that is loaded with features waiting to be utilised for Raspberry Pi. It's a high quality item and I am thoroughly impressed.

Very pleased with this Raspberry Pi. I had been looking into buying one of these for a while and I can say, this is great quality stuff. You get an LCD 10.1 inch monitor with a display of 1280x800. You need to have or buy the actual raspberry pi board (this is only a monitor you can connect it to) but, other than that, all the bits and bobs you need to get this monitor turned into something useful is there. I found the installation of the board easy and it all operated smoothly. The quality and resolution of the image was very good. All colour vibrant and images looking crisp and detailed. For the price, this is a great buy. Recommended.
