Review: Works!! - Worked perfectly. Some people had issues when reading reviews… just have to make sure you restart your computer before using this monitor. Make sure everything is plugged in and restart and should work like a mini monitor for PC
Review: Good retro-pi screen over HDMI... - This did the trick. I was able to take my retro pi portable with this 4 inch screen. You will need to install the driver on the pi, just follow the instructions on the wiki. Using the HDMI worked for the retro gaming, I wouldn't expect the gpio pins to have the performance you'll need. This comes with a small HDMI plug so don't worry about having to plug in a HDMI cable, they have you covered, and it looks nice. I wish I didn't have to set the Pi's screen rotation, but that's a minor gripe. Overall happy with the screen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An overall good experience getting this up and running.
*by S***E on July 31, 2024*

I am new-ish to working with components like this. This display has been a joy to work with in building a prototype of a product I'm developing. I am using it on an RPi4 running 64-bit Raspian (Debian 12). The firmware support is solid. The display was trivial to have working properly. I had a learning curve with integrating the touchscreen into the software, but that has nothing to do with the Waveshare device itself and everything to do with my novice status. I would use this screen again for other projects, and I will be looking favorably at other Waveshare devices.
