7 Inch Portable Touchscreen Monitor for Laptop and Single-Board Computers

This 7-inch small touchscreen monitor from ELECROW offers a high resolution of 1024x600 and a capacitive touch screen, with plug-and-play functionality and no driver required. The IPS screen provides a larger viewing angle and clearer display performance. Users can manually control the backlight, which can be turned off to reduce power consumption.

The monitor is compatible with a wide range of devices, including mini PCs (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, Banana Pi), desktop PCs, and game consoles. It comes with customized HD and USB connectors for the Raspberry Pi 4, eliminating the need for tangled cables protruding from the sides of the monitor.

When used with a Raspberry Pi 4, users may need to modify the "dtoverlay" setting in the configuration file, depending on the system image version. For example, on Bullseye (after 2021-10-30), "dtoverlay = vc4-kms-v3d" should be changed to "dtoverlay = vc4-fkms-v3d", while on Buster, the "dtoverlay = vc4-fkms-V3D" line should be commented out.

The monitor is equipped with dual loudspeakers, which need to be installed by the user, providing crisp audio output when watching movies or playing games. The backlight and volume can be adjusted using the buttons on the back of the screen.

The monitor can be mounted on the wall using the mounting holes on the four corners of the back, or it can be used directly on a table with the included stand. This small touchscreen monitor is suitable for a variety of applications, including mini PCs, desktop PCs, game consoles, and other HDMI-compatible devices, as well as various DIY projects.

When used with a Raspberry Pi 4B, the device can be easily mounted on the back of the screen. The included special HD and USB adapters can be hidden behind the screen, creating a compact and tidy setup, eliminating the need for a messy desktop.

It's important to note that the Raspberry Pi cannot be powered on by the screen, and the power interface should be connected when powering the screen. If power is supplied through the touch interface, the touch screen may become insensitive or unusable. When the speakers are turned on at 80% or more, it is recommended to connect the power port (not the touch port) to provide full power.

The package includes the 7-inch monitor, a USB connector for the Raspberry Pi 4B, an HD connector for the Raspberry Pi 4B, four M2.5 screws for mounting the Raspberry Pi, four small copper pillars for supporting the Raspberry Pi, a USB cable for PC connectivity, an HD cable for PC connectivity, two pro stands with two M3 screws for mounting the stands, and two speakers.

The monitor is compatible with a variety of devices and operating systems, including Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, Banana Pi, and other mainstream mini PCs, as well as PCs with an HD port. When used with Raspberry Pi, it supports Raspbian, Ubuntu, Kali-Linux, Kodi, and Windows 10 IoT, with single-touch functionality and no driver required. When used with a PC, it supports Windows 7, 8, and 10 as a secondary monitor, with 5-point touch and no driver required. When used with other devices, the touch function may not be available.
