won't trigger my 1920x1080 Acer LCD screens (my pi 2's and banana pi's work fine). runs *really* hot even idling: 70C. added copper heatsink and 10k RPM mini fan to drag temp to 44C at idle. silent was better! video core vi does fast h264 encoding and true gigabit Ethernet is nice but headless is no good for me. I have 9 pi-2's as GPU compute servers, this pi-4 is too expensive for that arrgt.

This is the 2nd model I've bought, the first being the 2 model B. On this one the Wifi and Bluetooth is excellent. I'm a professional Linux System Administrator building BT openreach infrastructure. I wanted this to do some electronics .i.e control a robot etc.. My only criticism is the OS I would have liked it to mirror CentOS/RedHat especially the networking which I spent hours trying to get to work, professionally I do this regulary.

The Pi 4 is a significant step up in performance, and hence suitability for more intensive tasks. It maintains all the virtues of the Pi but with more 'oomph'! The new CPU runs hotter than previous versions, and I'd recommend using some means to dissipate the extra heat in high-stress usage and\or poorly ventilated environments.

A great unit for a media player, not sure how long the micro HDMI plugs will last though

I have ordered from PiHut several times and have been pleased. They seem to know more about Raspberry PI hardware than any of the USA sellers. They ship via DHL and I get about two service from England to Tennessee, USA. This time I was ordering a PI-4 (4GB) and a loaded MicroSD Card, a power supply, a case and HDMI cables with the micro connector on on end. The order arrives in two days and I was happy! But, when I opened the box I realized that the HDMI cables did not have the micro connector on one end. There were 'normal' HDMI cables that I have a lot of. The problem could me in 'buying' the wrong cables or it could be PiHut who sent the wrong cables. My best guess is that I screwed up. I my defense I thought it was a little difficult to know you were buying the proper cables based on the info on the PiHut website. In summary I consider PiHut to be a VERY good source of Raspberry Pi hardware. LEP

Good service from The Pi Hut, but wish they had reminded me at time of purchase that the HDMI AND Usb outlets where different from my three previous Pis and their power supplies. So - make sure to get your adaptors at the same time,
