**Experience with the 7-Inch LCD Screen and Single-Board Computers**

I recently had the opportunity to test out a 7-inch LCD screen, specifically designed for use with single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi. The screen features a touch function, which allows for intuitive control over the device. To demonstrate its capabilities, I connected the screen to my Raspberry Pi 3 and loaded Retropie 4.1, a popular retro gaming platform.

The screen's performance was impressive, even considering its relatively low resolution. The image quality was crisp and clear, making it suitable for viewing text and images on the small screen. I was able to navigate the on-screen keyboard with ease, thanks to the responsive touch function. One of the standout features of this screen is that it does not require an inverter board, which can be a hassle to set up and manage. Instead, everything is built into the back of the screen, making it easy to power and connect.

I also experimented with using the screen with Raspbian Pixel, another popular single-board computer operating system. While the camera on my phone struggled to capture the screen's image, I was able to configure the touchscreen and calibrate its sensitivity. The result was a precise and responsive interface that worked seamlessly with the device. This level of performance is impressive considering the screen's affordable price point.

In addition to testing out the screen's capabilities with single-board computers, I also set it up in my retro gaming cabinet. I used PVC pipe fittings to create a custom enclosure for the screen, which will provide protection and support. The screen fits snugly into the design, leaving only a small gap at the bottom that can be filled with additional materials or components.

Overall, I was pleased with the performance of this 7-inch LCD screen, particularly in comparison to other options available on the market. Its compact size, responsive touch function, and affordability make it an attractive choice for anyone looking to build a retro gaming system or create a compact display solution.

**Windows 10 Experience**

I also decided to test the screen's compatibility with Windows 10, another popular operating system. To do so, I plugged in the USB touch cable provided with the screen and powered it on. The result was a responsive touchscreen interface that worked seamlessly with the device. I was able to navigate the on-screen keyboard and interact with the screen as if it were a traditional desktop display.

While my phone's camera struggled to capture the screen's image, I was able to get a clear view of the screen's performance in Windows 10. The touch function was responsive and accurate, making it easy to control the device. Overall, this screen's compatibility with multiple operating systems is a significant advantage, especially for users who prefer to switch between different devices or environments.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, my experience with the 7-inch LCD screen has been overwhelmingly positive. Its compact size, responsive touch function, and affordability make it an attractive choice for anyone looking to build a retro gaming system or create a compact display solution. While there are some limitations to consider, such as the camera's inability to capture high-quality images, these can be easily worked around with careful configuration and planning.

If you're in the market for a new LCD screen for your single-board computer project, I highly recommend considering this option. Its performance is impressive, and its compact size makes it easy to integrate into a variety of designs and applications.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's going on guys see ta brine back here again a few days ago I received my seven-inch HDMI touch display I ordered this from banggood and I'll leave a link in the description it took me two and a half weeks to get it from China which is not that bad this is the 1024 by 600 resolution model they also offer an 800 by 480 I definitely recommend going with the higher of the two this is going to go inside of a small PVC cabinet that I've been building I just haven't had time to do it lately hopefully in the next two weeks I'll have it done and I'm going to be using this for now I'm not sure if I'm going to use the Raspberry Pi or the latte panda or even a banana pie I'm not sure but I have a lot of single board computers to choose from let's go ahead and unbox this what I want to do is test this out on the lot a panda and the Raspberry Pi 3 so in the box ah I guess these are drivers but the thing is this does not require drivers if you're writing raspbian all you need to do is add a few lines to the config file and the touch automatically works through the USB and the resolution should be fine also I don't own a DVD player or a DVD drive or a CD drive in any of my computer so this is junk to me I'll never know what's on that next up we have a micro USB cable this will power the LCD screen and enable touch some small standoffs if you want to mount it somewhere and a super thin very short HDMI cable this will come in handy and here's the LCD screen so there is a film on here like a protector you take that off you can get a little clearer picture it is touch and the cool thing about this it doesn't require an inverter board everything's built into the back of it there are two micro USB ports that are used for touch and power you can just use one of them that's all I'm going to be using HDMI and an on and off switch so what I'm going to do is actually hook up a Raspberry Pi 3 and the lot a panda and see how this thing looks so with this all you need to do is edit a few lines or add a few lines in the config text and this is retropie 4.1 I'm going to plug in my controller now and see how it looks while playing a couple games so the touch function is not going to function within retropie and I loaded a couple things on here so I'm not sure if the cameras doing it justice it is a very crisp picture for being such a low resolution it's a very small screen so if you stand back just a little bit it looks perfect it looks HD from here and I know the camera is not picking this up it correctly but yeah retropie works in here I'm going to move on to raspbian and see how that works so here we are with raspbian pixel I actually switched to a different camera trying to capture better I don't think I did a great job we'll check the internet out here give it a second to load up if you run this you know how slow it is to load up your internet browser the first time and I don't think I'm connected to Wi-Fi that sucks either way this seems pretty precise and if I remember correctly there is an application built into raspbian that you can configure your touchscreen you can calibrate your touchscreen see if I can click that little tiny X with my fingers here there we go and it does seem pretty dead-on I'll just tap this opens right up so if you configure it it's going to work even better it's doing its job and the fact that I don't have to install any drivers is a big plus let's go ahead and move to the latte panda and see how it works in Windows 10 and here we are with Windows 10 I wish my camera would pick this up better because the screen does look really good for being such a cheap 7 inch screen the only thing I did was plug in the USB touch cable here and let's see if it works it works we have on-screen keyboard right there hopefully I don't pull up porn I just typed in something random okay I'm not even connected sweet yeah so overall this really works great for what it is and will work with several different single board computers I really wish you guys could see how nice the screen looks like I'm not just trying to play it up it's a really good looking screen give it a little tap so yeah that's it I mean that was just a quick look I just wanted to check it out myself it seems to work great it looks good and the touch is actually very very responsive within Windows at least so I just want to show you my cabinet real quick that this is going to go in so this is far from done I mean obviously as you can see but um this is PVC it's called pay light and it's a really good little design I have ton of pieces that go with it so we can secure this from underneath but this is the cutout I was sent for the 7-inch it comes with a seven and a nine and I'm going to look for the link on this I'm not sure if the guy sells them anymore it's a cool little kit for 40 bucks and I'm actually just hot gluing it together the screen should fit right in here but as you can see I'm definitely going to have a gap on the bottom that could be filled in with some more of this pay light or something else but this does come with a marquee section and a backplate so I think this is going to look really cool set up I was going to go for a 9 but the 9 inches are like close to $100 7 inch will be fine for me sitting in this little cab single-player place um NeoGeo on this thing I really appreciate you guys watching if you could hit that like button and subscribe I'm going to leave a link to this seven-inch screen it is from China but I'm in the u.s. I'm in North Carolina and this came in two and a half weeks definitely worth the money for me because I wanted something without an inverter board I didn't want to have to mess with that this is just HDMI and power and if you're not using touch you can power this from another power source like always thanks for watchinghey what's going on guys see ta brine back here again a few days ago I received
