New Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2. 7" Tablet

[@nikobellic570]

Nice to see your cat in background. They must love houses with big patio doors that look iut onto gardens

It's good that it defaults to a certain orientation, mine was backwards from the case, but if it's portrait on a landscape test, that's no issue.

[@SticksRC]

2:47 I'm happy that Raspberry Pi finally stopped using individual GPIO cables, I own the original 7" Touch display and the 5v & GND cables always really frustrating.

[@jim-xi1ml]

Finally I need one for my pi 5

[@keeb_asg]

i just got mine for a sponsoreship video as well and its not showing anything

[@gregoryaul2005]

Looks very good that's a big step forward for pi 👍

[@harpmaster]

why this thick frame again?

[@BogalaSawundiris]

WHY NOT ?

[@Warezzfan]

2 reasons: [1] easy to hold on edges & [2] make custom bezel frame casing (I know many will disagree but many use cases actually need this)

[@TacticianTilted]

@@Warezzfan makes screen look dated

[@jeffreydoujon638]

The Waveshare 8 Inch is very nearly the same physical size but has over 30% more screen area. The wide bezel looks dated and when fitted to a front panel make the visible area look really small

[@hulao7247]

@@jeffreydoujon638 I noticed the latest 7-inch DSI LCD (E) from Waveshare, with 1280x800 resolution, horizontal display,narrow bezels, ten-point touch, and a wider color gamut..

[@Rod_Knee]

Would be a good fit for a compute module - will we ever get a RPi CM5?

[@leepspvideo]

@@Rod_Knee I still haven’t been sent one

[@IamTheHolypumpkin]

I really want to build my own RPi tablet, but the RasPad and similar are just way to thick. The biggest issue is finding a display, which has a Pixel per square inch (and preferably a 4:3 or 8:5 aspect ratio). My aim is to use a CM4, CM5 or other compatible boards, a thin LiPo and a High PPI DSI display to get it into a iPad sized shell. There are no (Fairphone like) repairable tables with ARM or RISC-V CPUs primary tailored for media consumption :(, so DIY is the best option.

[@STORMFIRE07]

btw did you checked the pine tab from pine64? perhaps that may fit your needs? or fydetab duo, or juno tab pine64 also got other tablets such as pinetab V which risc V tablet

[@IamTheHolypumpkin]

@@STORMFIRE07yes I did consider it, just very few benchmarks for PineTab2 and PineTabV. As I mostly use my iPad to watch KZbin, Netflix and Disney+ it must have good video performance. As far as I remember, the PinTabs only supports WiFi4 in the drivers although I think the hardware is WiFi5 capable.

[@asfd74]

I am confused. Where is the Raspberry Pi hidden? Oh, you turned it around finally! Very useful video!

[@nikobellic570]

Wonder whether official case can somehow be attached to it. I want the quietness of the official case fan blowing onto the pi5

[@superangrybrit]

Good thinking trying Plasma in that format. Cheers!

[@alanturner1184]

Nice cat new screen looks interesting

[@Warezzfan]

How does display quality (apart from resolution) and touch screen experience compare with previous display?

[@cx3268]

Why featured in profile orientation? Granted that could be easily changed.

[@mrmartinimo2299]

I wonder if dual display is possible? thanks for the interesting video ✌

[@jothain]

Why oh why didn't they shrink bezels and up resolution more? 720 is really bad in this day and era. Yeah I understand that it would've increased prize by few tens. But let's be real. I would've bought this with better specs, but not with these. Any other with same thoughts?

[@CyberDunk2077]

The PI HUT has higher resolution screens but they cost a lot more, the waveshare ones are very nice quality and you can get them in a range of sizes. I ordered one of these bad boys from Pimoroni today and it is perfect for my car-puter project that is going in my sun visor.. I like the big bezels personally because it gives a nice gap between the metal chasis and the edge of the screen, although I get what you are saying.

[@tcnymex]

If they wanted to save money on the manufacturing cost you can still ask the first part of your question "why oh why didn't they shrink the bezels .. "

[@pgtmr2713]

I hate the bezel too. As to the resolution you're not going to find 720 or better at $60 new in a 7" screen. It's also finally a normal resolution.

[@jothain]

​@@tcnymexI'm not sure, but I assume they're using some old panel from years back that has flooded some warehouse. Maybe some manufacturer had ordered for some device, but project died or something?

[@jothain]

​@@pgtmr2713there's that. At least resolution is normal. Though I still think they could've got panels from some fullhd tablet stock or something like that and still keep price affordable.

[@Warezzfan]

Is there an option to control brightness?

[@lee99bay]

[@ray-charc3131]

I have pi5, 10 inch touchscreen and a keyboard, the missing one is rechargeable battery, later, I will buy one, i would better build a thin compartment to house all them, the keyboard portion can be flipped to ease for hand-carrying.

[@xoxide1017]

i want a 14 ot 17 or 21 display high resolution

[@jothain]

You should just look into those portable me monitors instead of this kind of kit parts.

[@thorstenfricke3257]

Hi Sir does this new display also with pi 4 ?

[@leepspvideo]

@@thorstenfricke3257 yes

[@gregoryaul2005]

Hi will you stick the screen in a case

[@leepspvideo]

@@gregoryaul2005 maybe, as it’s the official one we’ll no doubt see plenty of 3d printed options

[@Warezzfan]

If the GPIO headers are occupied with a HAT, can we power screen from Rpi's USB port?

[@leepspvideo]

@@Warezzfan yes it works. I used an old micro us cable and cut off the micro plug

[@DoctorOnkelap]

fun but the Raspad is more cemprehensive

[@lebelame]

i prefer 11 inch minimum, even the Sunfounder seem small

[@MyPhone-qg2eh]

Start your cyberdecks!!

[@keeb_asg]

[@leepspvideo]

@@keeb_asg I just installed the latest Raspberry Pi OS and it worked. Not much to try apart from the cables

[@keeb_asg]

@@leepspvideo i just found the solution, on my SD i had to install the bootloader order files to change EPROM and make it read SD first then i re flashed pi os and voila it worked perfectly

[@Grungeuncle]

I should really start an SBC + hardware related channel. I can't get any accessories, hats or parts put aside the actual Pi's. Even if I had the money, such items are scarce here. I need to become a KZbinr to atleast get access to KZbinrry Pi.

[@jim-xi1ml]

I can't seem to find a touch screen for the pi 5 and android

[@leepspvideo]

@@jim-xi1ml the original screen was supported, possibly just needs a resolution setting for this new one

[@wasitacatisaw83]

Why have they gone with such a horrendous huge bezel? It looks like my Google Nexus 7 from 2012. Absolutely a hard pass from me.

[@AbeStephan]

Whiney whiney whiner . It's not a phone .

[@TacticianTilted]

just pay the $20 more for a 15.6inch 1080p display who cares about touch

[@Maulana_rhodes]

​​@@TacticianTiltedWaveshare has better ones only for 50$ with touch

[@NextMomentOnEarth]

Do people really care that much about bezels? You can get a touch screen with small ones - it will cost much more

[@sqlexp]

It must be using some standardized components for 8-inch tablets. But why do they not simply use an 8-inch display?

[@MLGPRO-dx8fg]

Picture frames from the 1920s have smaller bezels than this

[@nikobellic570]

Come on third party accessory makers of the world, make an enclosure case with fan and drop-proof, rubber edges

Sounds awful, nobody ever does proper adult computing on a touchscreen interface. It's why toddlers like getting their sticky fingers over their tablets in the back of their parents car in order to watch their Disney movies on long car journeys.

[@Walker956]

thought the title said 2.7 inches lol.

[@BurkenProductions]

Too bad it still have those 2,5 cm black borders. A screen should be all the way to the edge border of the screen

No 1080p, no hdmi, a device useful only for specific device... and somehow it costs 70 euro at official reseller, which is not 60$...

[@habiks]

The touch functionality on linux is beyond crap. Can't even do right-click, or multi touch gestures..

[@TacticianTilted]

Why even include touch just a waste of cost that could of gone to removing the bezels or higher screen resolution

[@seppeseppe-jq7nr]

ugliest frame ever seen

[@Dhruv-d4k]

First

[@flyl0.]

most useless screen ever

[@TacticianTilted]

agree so many portable monitors on market (not specifically for raspberry pi ) for not much more that are actually 1080p and don't havee ugly thick bezels around them
