this whole week we're looking at screens
for your Arduino or Raspberry Pi
Projects and today we're looking at this
7in LCD unlike the other screens we've
been looking at this just uses a
fullsize HDMI and USB for power that
means it can take any input from any
device that has an HDMI out the USB port
doesn't just do power it also sends the
touchscreen data back to your Raspberry
Pi there's no drivers or anything to set
up you just plug everything in and you
immediately get a nice touch screen for
your project I actually really like this
screen for the price it's got good
viewing angles got pretty good color the
resolution is enough the only real
issues here are that you need to power
this off of something as powerful as
like a Raspberry Pi and the raspberry
piie UI isn't really a touch UI so it's
a little wonky but if you're making your
own UI that has some big buttons or
something this is going to be perfect I
bought this for $45 I think it's a very
reasonable purchase now tomorrow to
close out screen week we're going to
look at the exact opposite of this the
tiniest smallest black and white OLED
screens but I'm going to convince you
they're still pretty cool so get hyped
for that
