This is A Great 7 Inch IPS Touchscreen For The Raspberry Pi 4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- In this video, we take a look at a really nice 7 inch IPS Touchscreen display for the Raspberry Pi,
The Pi4 mounts to the back of the display and is connected over HDMI plus this screen has built-in speakers! With a resolution of 1024x600 it’s not the highest resolution but this works very well and will allow you to create a portable Raspberry pi4 if you add a battery pack.

The USB plug that offers touch actually powers the unit as well (5v red pin/black pin, touch is the green/yellow wires). The GPIO power cable is redundant and NOT needed to power the screen. You only need that USB plug, and the HDMI ribbon cable. This frees up your GPIO for an ICE cooler running at 5v.
I picked up this Screen probably 6 months ago.
So happy with it, im going to Run it in my car, mounted in a Double Din Adapter, Customised naturally.
Christopher Curwen this was an idea i was going for as well. I hope it is sunlight readable.
@@nickhenley8040worst case you can buy Matte Screen filters.
so not the end of the world :)
Hey fella, I'm hoping to do the same. I was wondering, do you need to have access to the power/menu buttons on the back of the screen, or will it power on with the PI?
@@_SonOfPear_ powers on with the pi. the controls on the back are pretty much pointless
What screen is this? It has no brand name or proper link.
Wow this is exactly what I was looking for. Would be perfect with a 3d printed cover with Bluetooth controllers connected to the sides. A+
I have had one of them for abut 30 days and love it;
Im useing it in my car with androud 10 as a gps.
Have you seen the PiDash setups? They are pretty cool.
That's actually a really neat use for it.
That's awesome, I was going to comment that this looks like the perfect base for a DIY head-unit.
Jay Private I have the mew firmware you have to use the sd card.
On usb it boots but locks up.
I’m yawing android 11.
What can I said I'm a newbie in This Raspberry Pi world , thanks to your videos I bought my first RPi, that just arrived Yesterday
Now we need a fitting case kit with battery pack, game controllers on the left and right and we have a Switch-Pi.
I ordered this thing literally 3 days ago and then you come out with a video talking about it before it’s been delivered. Pretty convenient lol
Really been wanting a kitchen media device for playing youtube and such while cooking or even to look up things while you're in there. This might be perfect built into a cabinet or something. Might give it a go.
This is why I love this channel. I’m gonna look for a case that might support this. I may need to print one myself. Regardless, this is a game changer in every field the Pi dwells in. Thank you again for this video!
Any luck finding a case for this screen?
can try with BMO nintendo switch stand

dude i am sending this comment through the same IPS display
I have had mine for about a year.
Lol
bruh i was skeptical if it worked b4 seeing this comment lol
Not sure if you will see this, but does the pi power the screen? Like is it possible to use one cable to power both the pi and the display?
That is an absolutely fantastic product. I hope they release similar screens with larger size/higher res and the same mounting and connectivity.
I have one of these screens and LOVE it. Highly recommend for Pi projects that need screens.

Amazon had this same screen under another listing for 35 dollars a couple weeks ago. I managed to snatch one! Great screen!
Send link, please buddy :'v

I have the same screen and a Pi 3B on it. You can change the volume if you press + and brightness via -. The touch screen works out of the box, but only the left mouse button. This requires one USB 2.0 port, so 3 ports remain open. The native resolution should always be set as the resolution. If you switch off the screen, the Pi continues to run.
The power supply that came with my screen was unstable. So I exchanged it.

This screen is much better than the last one you show us. Might just pick one up.
I have this screen. You can power the screen through the USB ports on the pi, you do not have ego use the GPIO port so it allows you to attach a cooler. Also the speaker volume can be controlled through the screen buttons, but it’s hidden in the menu.

@@SweatyCubes This is Lebula 7'' touchscreen monitor
Have the same and am very happy with it. I love the clean connections to the PI (in my case also a PI4B), nothing standing off the edges for connection. Unlike the other 7", higher than 800x480 (MIPI-interface) resolution displays. I'm also using it with a X735 for power-mgmt and cooling, works great.
Is it available in India?
Hi sir, i am probably missing something.
How do you search for this specific screen as there is no brand? I have watched the video several times but nothing helps.
Could you please send me the link to the product?
Thank you.
@@jeanlaurentkamgaing2138 This is Lebula 7'' touchscreen monitor
I have this screen, love it! I've been using it for about the last 6 months and it's been flawless so far :) One difference from the one you show and the one I have (you may have a more recent model) is the small "touch to Pi" lead that you have wasn't included. Instead, they sent a short 3" Type A to MicroUSB cable which sticks out from the side connector of the monitor, so it's not quite as compact as the setup you have here. Just an FYI.
I also have the same display.
@@adiands850 Hi there
Please i have the same concern, can you help?
Thanks
@@jeanlaurentkamgaing2138 Hi, there was a response to my other comment, which says the screen is a Lebula 7'' touchscreen monitor. Hope that helps.
@@adiands850 This is Lebula 7'' touchscreen monitor
the product shown in this video and the link to Amazon are not the same wtf
Elecrow have a version of this which uses the same connections as their 5". So instead of the 3 cables on this one, it has the same 2 U-shaped HDMI/Micro and USB/micro adaptors. The only other difference is it doesn't have the mounting tabs that stick out, it has built in standoffs on each corner.
Can you post link, looking for same. Couldn’t find on amazon with u shaped adapters. Thanks
@@demon224 This is Lebula 7'' touchscreen monitor
for a glass screen protector buy one for the nintendo switch, fits perfectly. Also check the HDMI ribbon cables, mine was plugged in upside down on the PI side. Had to unclip it and reinstall it to get signal.
Absolutely fantastic! This is the perfect screen for my planned project: A multi-audio player (MP3, FLAC from SSD / Internet-Radio / CD) with a PI4B connected to a HiFi Stereo Amplifier :-)
It's amazing how much you can do with 7 inches.
Could be a cool screen for some weather monitoring software.
@@KINGofKEROSIN That is true.
Ordered RasPad 3 and Pi-Top yesterday
this would be a great start for a cyber deck
For scooter?
i got similar screen, paid for it 32 bucks on aliexpress, and its great, but its a version without speakers + it has 2 hdmi ports, one on the back, and one on the side, and its shipped with a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter that just fits perfectly rpi hdmi port, so theres no cable basically, i love this thing, wish there was something like that for 100 bucks or something, thats 13-15 inch, so i could make myself a mini laptop with rpi 400, or like a controller board thats very slim for old laptop screens, cuz currently the controller boards are rather thicc, so it would be a rly chunky laptop
Something that low power, thats enough for some yt and watching like netflix or something, and doing some office work, that rly sounds nice for me.
Hey! I get that this is a (relatively speaking) old video and things have moved on a bit, but I'm wondering if there are any recommended equivalents in 2024? UK-based. The key points for me:
- The rear mounting, so that the cables etc are behind and not poking 20 miles out of the side/top/bottom. The best I've got so far (at 5 or 7 inch display size) was top-mounted connections and the display included a HDMI "U" adapter. Not bad, but still extended beyond the profile of the PCB the thing was mounted on.
- Still cheap enough to be considered "project level" - but not complete rubbish. It'd be for a RetroPie project.
- I don't care about touchscreen.
This would be great screen for raspberry pi mini-laptop... Top of the laptop would be raspberry pi and that would help with cooling and bottom part would be the keyboard and battery and probably touchpad maybe even ssd in some shape or form.
It's a shame that I don't have a 3D printer so that project is in "Maybe in the future" projects.
Working on small form factor systems like rpi-4 with a 7" display is an effecient model of computing.
I bought a very similar monitor to this, but it has a wheel for brightness and volume which is really nice and simple. But the resolution is just too low (especially with onscreen text and icons), and the aspect ratio is bad for a lot of modern content. Playstation 4 games only take up the middle 60% of the screen. I'm going to sell this one and get a 1280x800 screen.
You did not do a screen tearing test? Sound Loudness test or test any Roms???
The very same thing with 720/1080p resolution would be so neat!
Awesome! Make me really want to get back into tech. So many ideas in my mind right now.
This would make for an awesome radio in an older car.
I was hoping to see you run the tearing test like you did with the 5in screen: ruclips.net/video/xcwqIxySFPg/видео.html
You even stated in that video that "whenever I get a new screen for the raspberry pi I always check out this video on youtube".
I wanted to pull the trigger on this, especially since Amazon has a $10 coupon currently, but I suspect it has some unpleasant tearing, which contributed to this being a "great" device rather than warranting the "awesome" rating.
Plus, you even mentioned at 7:58 that changing the brightness doesn't introduce any extra screen tearing than you'd normally see on a screen with the Raspberry Pi given the drivers... That doesn't inspire much confidence.
Your Amazon links are wrong. For anybody watching it's the Lebula 7"
4 month update: now it's "ROADOM"
I don’t know why they keep changing there brand name
Yeah I'd like to see a dual screen mini computer with Raspberry Pi if possible
Where to buy in the UK please ? Awesome review and product
Definitely gonna look at making a pi laptop with this lol.
I think I'm going to use this for my tin lunch box arcade project.
They work perfect for that - it’s how I have mine configured. And I 3D printed an enclosure for it.
Been tempted by similar 7 inch screens for a while. In the end, I opted for the NexDock. much tidier solution for me, but pricy.
Man I'd love one of these in 10"/12" size and 1080p/1440p. I think my RPi4 did 1440p at 59/60hz quickly testing on my latest desktop monitor, this would be killer for a DIY Android tablet.
It is the first time that i see a company to put the simple cables inside the antistatic bag, and the board without any protection. I had a good laugh.
I have two of these running portable battery powered Retropie consoles with VMan’s image. They are excellent. Two things to add:
There is a physical button for volume control and it works fine. So the volume is controllable through both hardware and software. It is the up button. Hit that once and then you can use the up/down buttons to change volume.
The GPIO cable connection is not required with the latest versions of the screen supporting power through the same USB plug ETA used to “enable touch”. That port also provides power through the Pi to the screen. As long as you feed the Pi with a good power source it works excellent.
It works excellent, but only for 12-13 min. then the screen colors start flickering ( playing N64 ) So if a Charmast Power Bank 10400mah with 3A outputs isn't enough, which power bank will ?
I'm totally putting this in my truck.... Lol
Ha! First time I got something cool before ETA prime. I got a clone of this device based on an Amazon recommendation while trying to find portable displays. Pretty neat little thing
Need to 3D print a case. A small Arcade case for Arcade retro gaming.
This is amazing and totally better than the waveshare display
Oka! It's time to add a touch oriented theme for TwisterOS.
Twister 1.9!!!
damn, I just bought the 5" screen from one of your last videos.
I bought one this week after seeing your video. Actually I had the 5" in my cart, then I looked for your video and I see this one.
Anyway, the only issue I have and you didn't show how you fixed it, it's the power connection (USB C). The plug position is a little awkward, and gets in the way of the feet.
Or it will be always showing in the front of the device.
Solution would be a short plug USB C, a very flexible one or a L shaped plug.
How did you do?
Same issue here, please if you find solution do update here.
Also same issue, surprised the video glossed over it. Good video otherwise
@@brandon3219 i bought L type connector from Amazon for $5 (two) that solved problem
What screen is this? It has no brand name or proper link.
Wish they would do a version of those screens with 4:3 resolutions like 1024x768 or 1280x960. It would be perfect to play shmups in TATE mode.
Bring back 16:10!
Can you please tell the measurements by putting a scale beside it.
For example it is a 7 inch screen.
Height=x
Length=y
Width=z
This may be the screen I get. I do have one question: How would you add active cooling with this setup? Like an ICE Tower?
Stephen Colbert I have the same screen and added a argon pi hat, never gets above 55 degrees running overclocked and doesn’t add any extra height to the pi.
Buy a netbook?
The ice tower fits great on the back keeps it nice and kool stays at 30 c idle
It just attaches to the Pi on the back lol
There is another problem when adding active cooling. When you plug the power on the display to the GPIO on the Pi 4, you are only left with 3v power coming out of the Pi. I have the same display and I purchased a small fan that ETA Prime recommends on the video of the 5" display that attaches to the heatsink that goes on top of CPU but when I plugged to 3v power I get an under voltage warning on the Pi 4. I'm new playing around with Pi 4's so there's probably a quick fix. I just haven't found it. Maybe by adding a power management hat or something.
Good review of what looks to be a well thought out product.
For any looking for this screen, the manufacture is Lebula
(RP4) + (screen) - (fan) = wonderful space heater
This seems perfect for my planned DIY 2DIN Android Headunit using CARLINKIT adaptor to enable carplay.
Headunits have really slow interfaces, and sometimes overpriced > 200$
6:21 This seems to be actually a 1024x600 scaled up to 1920x1080 via software.
Would like to see this with a Windows/Linux laptop or a phone like the Galaxy S10 just for Dex
Hi there, was about to ask the same,
@ETAPrime can you please give a try to those USBC-to-HDMI cheap adaptors with a Samsung mobile?
What, Android is now running so smooth on Pi4? That looks cool
Great Video. Can you fit a fan to the Pi when it is mounted on the display?
Cpu seems to be facing away from the screen, so height of the cooler shouldn't be much of an issue. If the mounting screws you use are too long to allow it to mount to the screen directly, I'd image a solution with standoffs or washers + longer screws would work decently.
A ventilation tower could be added to the kiy we just saw. greetings from the Guatemala
Thank you for making this video!!!
Two things I'd love to make with this: 1) one of these "cyber-deck" things that are all the rage these days and 2) DIY car head-unit, probably would need to be double-height unless you want to build some sort of popout/folding mechanism. Might even be able to combine the two into one project, make it so it can be easily removed from the car and used standalone with a built-in battery (which could also allow you to keep it powered in the car while the car is off without draining your 12V battery).
I have this exact kit that I bought but it did not include some of the extra items ! Would have been so helpful! Lol
Are we EVER going to get a better DSI display?
DSI displays are limited to 800x480 resolution, as far as I'm aware.
@@doublegdawg a single DSI channel, yes. You can put more channels in parallel, which is precisely what larger displays do.
Link of the product pls
Mentioned links are not working
Showing different product
I ordered this screen. It is very well made and works great. It looks amazing. The only problem I have is that the Pi4 overheats so easily, and since this display uses both the GPIO power pins, figuring a way to power the fan without a bunch of soldiering is a challenge. I saw an earlier video of you doing a fan shim but I am concerned about non-isolation of fan and display. If anyone has a solution here, let me know. For now, I ordered a GeekPi top mounted full body heat sink w/ optional fan to see how much that will help. The screws go in from the top so you can screw down to the stand-offs on this display.
You can run a 5v fan on the 3.3v pins. It'll run slower but still provide ventilation.
Hi sir, i am probably missing something.
How do you search for this specific screen as there is no brand? I have watched the video several times but nothing helps.

Nice video. Can you do a video on driving multiple Pi's on the same power supply. I'm trying to find a way to synchronize multiple Pi screens to show one large image.
I'd like to get H x W measurements from that to see if it would fit a double DIN mount in a car audio head unit. I be it would make a great android auto setup.
The only issue I have with a Raspberry Pi, be it one that shouldn't matter to most people, is the hideous green PCB that its built on. Every accessory for it that uses a separate PCB is practically always black like with pretty much every other piece of modern hardware with only very few exceptions like components that come inside a housing already. I just wish that they release a version with a black PCB, hopefully in the future.
I love your channel, i support you
That space in the bottom left corner there while you were attaching the Pi4 - is that just unused space? Perhaps a nice spot to tuck a little lipo battery pack if you were putting this in a 3D printed enclosure?
There it is ETA big bunny prime... Its not an ETA vid without the big bunny.
I've seen big bunny on so many screens now I can use it as a decent benchmark... I know how it *should* look, and can spot a poor display pretty quickly. It's just convenient for RUclips content because it's freely licensed, no copyright to worry about. Same idea with 3D printers and that tugboat... everyone is familiar with it, and it does a good job of exposing poor designs.
One thing is really annoying about some of these screens... The black border on the right side is significantly wider than on the left which will make it a huge pain to have to precisely center this in an enclosure I'm using...
Thank you for posting this!
I use this as a secondary screen on my Windows computer. I put it right above my keyboard.
can it be used as a PRIMARY monitor for windows?
@@jive1926 Absolutely, it's small but there's nothing stopping you from using it.
Awesome review! Thank you!
I'd like to find one with wacom stylus too, it would be a cool cheap drawing tablet ^^
flutterbrony The Wacom LCD tablets do cost a pretty penny (starting at around 550 where I live), and AFAIK there aren’t any LCD drawing tablets out there that use a Wacom pen specifically (not counting tablet computers like Surface Pro in this case, just the LCD drawing tablets that require another computer).
You could consider something like the XP-Pen Artist 12 or a HUION Kamvas Pro 13 if you’re open to alternatives. They’re both priced around the 200-250 ballpark. I don’t have experiences with these myself, but I’d recommend just reading the reviews to get an idea. Don’t just rely on Amazon reviews though, since there are lots of fake reviews out there on many articles lately.
Hope this helped! /)
@@NijiDash Or he could get a Samsung Lab 6 lite and have apps like krita
Very useful. Thank you!
please make your next touchscreen RPi 4 be for a 1920x1080 screen, or a sub $20 1280x720 screen.
Buyers beware, this looks nearly identical to my EVICIV 7" touchscreen, purchased a year ago. It also has the RPi logo on startup. Except mine didn't ship with the assorted cables and doesn't have the cool power and USB headers, so I wasted money trying to find cables that didn't stick out so far, but they still do. :-(
Furthermore, although the EVICIV looks the same as the Longrunner 7" touchscreen and enclosure, their protective enclosure requires serious modifications in order to fit the EVICIV touchscreen. |:{
To be clear, I'm not saying that this touchscreen has the same issues, because I don't know. The cabling is much cleaner on this model. I'm only suggesting that you may want to consider how important the enclosure is and whether one is available. I wish that I had purchased both as a package deal.
Having said that, the touchscreen works great. Although it is only rated @1200 x 600, it displays 1920 x 1080 just fine alongside my 50" 4K TV. I suspect the same is true with this model.
I'm running my RPi4 with a heat sink & small PWM fan, which is also powered via GPIO. Whenever I power the RPi, USB SSD, fan, & touchscreen from the same wall wart adapter, sometimes the RPi complains about low power by displaying the lightning bolt, usually during high SSD activity. So, I turn off the 7" display and use only the 4K TV (no problem).
You gets whatchya pays fer.
I have the exact same display but mine did come with a few adapters just not the one that goes from USB to pins on the display to enable touchscreen. They did include one that goes from USB to micro USB but the connection doesn't look as sharp as the one on this video.
That is a great screen for the raspberry pi but the way the metal legs are screwed to the ends of the screen's PCB just plain screams to me that is should have better support to be really useful. I can see kids breaking it the moment they get their hand on them even if you don't intend to have them using it. (And let's be real, if you have kids you know they are attracted to screens just like they are attracted to candy.) I can see myself building a small arcade with it though. it would streamline the cable management inside a lot.
Interesting product
Thanks for sharing
Is it multi-touch?
Hey ETA Prime. I got a game that I want to suggest that you add to the list of android games you use to test these Android devices. Genshin Impact.
It comes out in 2 weeks, uses the Unity Engine, and is god damn gorgeous. It's also freeeeeee.
Please try to mix this lcd with controller (ie: saitake, ipega) & piSugar 2 pro battery. Consider this as the replacement of the long gone dead project (lattelanda, ipega & custom batteries).
My pi 400 needs this!
This is Lebula 7'' touchscreen monitor
Should get a USB Tester so we can see USB power bank battery tests
(Not a crappy $10 one though)
@ETA PRIME
Would like to see you try this with your RockPi64 and Android(not TV). Looks really cool!
Hi ETA Prime, Love your information and video. Will it run Zen Pinball and using Joystick? Will Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work on the Android 9 ?
I'd like to get this, but.... the Amazon link is pointed to the wrong product... and interestingly there is no reference to the name of this or its manufacturer anywhere in the video.
Uperfect is the brand.
Annnnnd find a 13 inch new we always want more
I’m seeing the screen has screw holes for a backing, might design something so you can put a fan on it and hold it at the same time.
This looks like a great screen. The problem is, I have not found a single screen on Amazon with touch screen USB connection on back of the screen. They all show the connection on the side. Need help finding the screen shown in this video.
He always includes links in the description and did in this video as well, of course if you are outside the USA though getting this or many things he reviews can be more of an issue.
The Pi 4 is running Android better than any Android tablet I've ever used. Lmfao!
Pi + this touch screen would be more expensive than an entry level tablet.
Intro song reminds me of the 8 bit guy
