Raspberry Pi Screen 10.1 Inch Touchscreen Monitor 1024x600 Portable HDMI Monitor 16:9 IPS Screen Display for Raspberry Pi 5/4/3/2/Zero/B/B+ Win11/10/8/7, Free-Driver

This review is for the "HMTECH Raspberry Pi Screen 10.1 Inch Touchscreen Monitor 1024x600" (model HM10.1-RP). For the most part, this is a good deal, as it's a decent sized touch screen for $60. My tests have been mostly positive, in that I will be able to make use of this for other projects, but not for my originally intended project.I was hoping to attach a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to the back of this and put this to use as a kiosk of sorts. However, since the screen's power input and touch control input are combined through a single micro-USB interface, this is not possible with a Pi Zero computer. When a Pi Zero is connected, the screen will turn off and on every few seconds: It will stay on for maybe 5 to 20 seconds, and then it will turn black (seems to power off) for anywhere from 1 second to maybe 5 seconds, and then it turns on again. This continues indefinitely, which results in this combination of computer and screen being unusable, presumably due to the Pi Zero not passing sufficient amperage through the micro-USB connection to the screen.Tests confirm that a Raspberry Pi 4 (Model B Rev 1.4) does work without any problems. It actually works very well, even with the 5-minute screen timeout powering off the screen and then powering back on again when touched (running Ubuntu 22.04.3).The takeaway is that the screen works well, probably with just about any other types of computers, including Pi 4 computers, but not with Pi Zero computers. If one did not need the touch capability, then the screen could probably be powered by a separate power source, and then it might work as a display for a Pi Zero computer, but that's not my intended use-case. It would be nice if there was a different way to power this screen besides through the micro-USB connection, so that the touch capability could be enabled on a Pi Zero.Updated: I was mistaken about the Pi Zero power to the screen. It turns that using a power supply with higher current (amps) does provide sufficient power for both the Pi Zero computer and the screen through the micro-USB port on the Pi Zero, while still enabling touch screen control over the same micro-USB connection to the screen. I'm using the power supply described as "Argon Micro USB Cable Power Supply 5.25 Volts 3 Amps for Raspberry Pi 3 and Zero Boards". Additionally, the screen blanking in the Raspberry Pi O.S. (set to a default of 10 minutes) does also power off the screen, and then wakes up (powers on) the screen when the screen is touched.

Used with RPi 500. Easy to use: Just plug and play. Everything including Touch screen works fine without any added software or fiddling. I just unplugged mouse and plugged in the USB cable for touchscreen activation. Excellent display quality. Watched movies on it. Great display of movie pictures as well as stills. Exactly as advertised. Altho not part of specs, it would have been nice to have sound capability. Lends itself to portability. Back panel is very sturdy. Place to mount a RPi module. Only real complaint is lack of some sort of protective cover for circuit board. Reasonable price. Recommended

Works great. I took off one star as the resolution is lower than was advertized.

Screen did not work. Screen showed up, I tried the screen with multiple hdmi cords on multiple computers and tried multiple 5V inputs, none of which worked. I suspect it is just the display because when I plug it into my computer the computer recognizes the screen and even allows me to float the mouse off screen presumably to the dead display, but it does not turn on. Very disappointed.

Screen is great, touch doesn’t seem to work though and when I first unboxed it the ribbon cables to the board were not seated properly so there was intermittent interference and video quality issues

The screen is of good resolution and is very responsive to touch. Latency feels very low, and with even a $100 pc powering it, it feels fast and responsive. I was able to get 2 of the screens working in windows 11 and windows 10 on my mini pc. Both function fully for touch. I use them for media browsing and monitoring my 3d printers. The screen comes without a casing, but there are free files for 3d printable cases online. I printed out cases for the screens to mount and protect them.The seller is very helpful and responsive. I originally bought 1 screen and a Lenovo Thinkcentre to use it with. I had compatibility issues with the Lenovo Thinkcentre, and the seller helped me diagnose the issue. The seller sent a replacement screen during the diagnosis for testing at no charge, and allowed me to keep the replacement screen when we determined the issue. I concluded the interaction with: I am happy with how the screens are performing, they do their job well, and the seller is of great help. I sold my lenovo pc and bought a different, compatible, windows 11 mini pc to keep using the screens because i like them so much.

The media could not be loaded. Decided to pick this screen up as an alternative for a sim racing dash and I am truly impressed. The quality of the screen is absolutely on point and it’s the perfect size. I haven’t setup the touchscreen, but don’t really need it. There is only two things I could say I wish was different is the location of the ports (hdmi and micro usb). Would be nice if they were integrated into the back rather than the side. The second thing is that i wish it came inside a closed case to add some extra rigidity. Overall this is a great purchase for all your diy needs!
