4 inch 320*480 Resistive Touch Screen TFT XPT2046 LCD compatible with Raspberry Pi 1/2/3 Model B B+ A+ Raspbian Video Photo Display System Module @XYG

let me say is amazing!, i just install it on my raspberry pi 2, and works perfect. all instructions are easily to follow, anyone can do it.

it is some what complicated to set up, but other than that it works well.

It works out of the box on a raspberry pi 2 using their customized image. There is a known problem at the moment regarding updating the image and the TFT kernel modules. There is a workaround that appears to work just fine.The only gripe that I have is the lack of mounting holes on the board. They do provide some standoffs you can use to support it from underneath, and there is a very small lip on the corners of the board which can be used to keep the display from falling out of a case. Be aware that the display has an exposed ribbon cable on one side that can be damaged if you're not careful.***EDITED***Yeah, be really careful with that ribbon cable. I broke the touchscreen on mine when taking a cover off that caught on the corners of the ribbon cable and made tiny rips through the traces. Since there is so little exposed, repair is highly unlikely. If you can, I recommend putting something over the ribbon cable so it doesn't catch on anything. It still works as a display, but if that's all you wanted there are cheaper ways to get that and ways that take up less GPIO pins.Additionally, the raspbian image that comes with the display will be setup in landscape mode. If you wish to rotate your display to portrait mode, it is possible but difficult. It took me several hours of trial/error and research to get it working portrait.

So I have this for about 1 day and I have plugged it on my Raspberry Pi B+. I do like it, but I am not thrilled that I had to install the Manufacture version of Rasperian image. It looks like just the basic Rasberian with the LCD drivers and other software loaded on. If you like NOOBS to do your OS install, you are out of luck. You will need to use Win32DiskImager.exe which does come on the install disk as well as the image and 3 documents.Do not run the following: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgradeAfterwards it fails to start the xserver.However I am not able to run the wifi-config (/usr/sbin/wpa_gui) it exits with a segmentation fault. I will just have to configure my wifi manually.What I did not get and was concerned about is that it did not specify which pin to plug the screen in to, If you have an A model then it uses all 26 pins and it is a no brainer. But with the Model B and B+ I was not sure. For your info, you plug in starting with pin 1, which is the pin farthest from the USB ports.Here is a good tutorial to get you started:http://diyhacking.com/raspberry-pi-touchscreen-lcd-tutorial/So in summary, I would of given it a 4 or higher, if 1) the instruction showed me how to mount the screen, 2) if I was able to just install drivers for the LCD versus having to install their image, and 3) if the wifi-gui (which has a link on the desktop) wasn't failing.

I can't get this to work on my system. The instructions were terrible and the firmware sent with it didn't work either.

It works absolutely fantastic! The only thing to keep in mind is that it requires you to write the image from the disk to the Micro SD card.

I tried setting this display up manually on my RPi B+ and just couldn't get it working. The CD that comes with this product has a Raspian image that worked perfectly after I burned it to the micro SD. If you have had your RPi running for a while and aren't skilled enough to get this to work you will lose what you've been working on. Otherwise, the image is perfect for setting up a new RPi.

So, to start off the dang thing comes with a CD to download the software so you can use it. For people who don't know, NONE OF THE RASPBERRY PIS COME WITH A DISK DRIVE!So far the screen itself appears to activate, but seems to dramatically drain the battery (the Red and Green lights flutter like crazy). It shows a blank white screen when plugged in.To get the software and screen to work you must download the disk onto your computer, do something to it (not just SD formatting, there appears to be something else :/ ) and then plug it into your Pi, then plug your Pi into something that can actually display what's happening (because the screen is still blank white) and then activate the screen and its software on the Pi.The screen comes with a Nintendo DS Lite Stylus (or looks exactly like the one I own) and some small rods with bolts and screws to keep the display from bending down into the Pi.Don't try what I've been doing and download it onto the Pi, doesn't work like that.It's been giving me hell.I'll keep trying but I'm debating about returning it or not.
