“Wow, this is a nice display! I have the original and it is good....but this one is great! Had some fun building it together with a Coupé Flotilla case haha. The mounting hardware and header extension all fit perfectly. Now I just have to get that auto-display switching set up like my original. You can set the pi up to automatically send video out the HDMI when a monitor is connected, and use the hyperpixel when not connected to HDMI. This seems like the best way to go to be sure you always have a local display in case headless isn't available for whatever reason.”
“Just have a try with last Raspbian Stretch 2018-06-27 (fresh install)
the screen fits perfectly on the raspberry pi
Install HyperPixel software via the command line (HDMI display connected for terminal)
curl https://get.pimoroni.com/hyperpixel4 | bash
reboot and... it works well
beautiful image very fine and bright. Touchscreen also works perfectly!
i go on with tests
soon an article in french on www.framboise314.fr”
“Superb display, crisp & clear, touchscreen works beautifully. Knocked up a quick script in PyGame to test it and mouse events are all that's needed to use it.
Fitted straight onto my Pi 2 with the included header & standoffs. No soldering & nothing technical.
Slight problem with the one line curl install but just as easy through Github (and by the time you read this I'm sure that'll be sorted).
All in all this is a quality product at a good price. Big thumbs up to Pimoroni.
Dave.”
“Great screen, resolution, sufficient touchscreen.
I've had issues with the touchscreen on the new Pi 3 B+ but apart from that it is a great screen for your Pi. If you want a protective case the `Pibow PiTFT+` fits *JUST* and protects it a fair bit.”
“Since there is no future for a Ubuntu hand-held device, this HyperPixel display with a portable LiPo source on a RPi0 W in a thoughtfully designed case that has a camera slot would be my "dream" gadget (at least for now). The RPi0W, LiPo, HyperPixel and PiCamera are in the bag, what about a matching case (from Treasure Tech for Tinkerers)?”
