" ... The screen is responsive and accurate when moving your finger. ... "
" ... Make sure to power both the RPI and the screen ... The screen is full color, I've not noticed any deformities, the sticker orientation helps ensure you mount it upside right so you dont have to flip it via software or go back and remount it up-side-right. ... "
" ... Great screen very responsive and good color downside is when mounted in the screen and pi case it's upside down but a edit to a file fixed that and flipped the screen ... "

" ... This is a great plug and play solution to a lot of cool projects with Raspberry Pi. ... "
" ... The CanaKit 2.5A wall wart seems to be adequate for the DSI display and pi 3B+, but a more robust option might help to avert the undervoltage flash icon when the USB and GPIO ports are loaded. ... "
" ... Put it into the case, attach CSI to PI, plug in power and watch it work! ... "
" ... It really simplifies configuration because you don’t have to ssh in or connect another monitor/tv. ... "
" ... That was it (plus attach the power splitter cable). ... "
" ... The official raspberry pi power adapter powers the raspberry pi as well as this display AND my wireless keyboard dongle AND an rtl-sdr USB dongle all without any low power warning yet. ... "
" ... It works for my pi it is true plug and and play if you are on the newest version of Raspbian the display is nice and sharp but if you look down from the top of look up from the bottom of the display it gets badly washed out, other than that it works well and I would not power your pi off the power pin from the display board just use anther power adapter. ...

" ... The only dislike I have is that it need to come with a much longer ribbon cable. ... If it came with a longer ribbon cable so it can be routed to the side I would have given this 5 stars. ... "
" ... The circuit board was already mounted and the ribbon cables inserted, when it was taken out of the packaging - I thought this was odd as all the tutorials insist you must do this yourself. ... "
