Frame rate issues over GPIO no longer a problem!
I bought this for a Raspberry Pi Zero hand held I have been working on. I see a lot of questions about using this screen for similar things. I started with a Adafruit 35r using the GPIO and the refresh rates using the frame buffer were just impossible and unsatisfactory. I didn't have to do anything special to my installation when I recieved this board; I simply plugged it in and it worked perfect right away. If you have problems with it turning on with your software running your RPI you need to look at your HDMI settings in your /boot/config.txt and verify you have the hdmi output enabled. For my build I don't care about the touch screen portion so I am not using the GPIO pins associated with the touch screen portion. For that part to work you will need to find a driver that is compatible; there are plenty of resources via google. In the package is the hdmi splitter which worked great; I put my mini hdmi cable into it right into my zero. It also comes with a stylus. What I recieved (seems to be some confusion in the questions section) is exactly what is pictured here, and I am very happy with the results! There is a version of this screen for like 10 dollars cheaper without hdmi. But for my build; to achieve even close to 30fps without lag, this is the way I needed to go. The zero with a single core processor just doesn't have the processing power to run the frame buffer and emulation remotely in sync. This is a perfect solution.

Difficult to setup, but works okay.
Seems to be a good display though it is not exactly plug-n-play. You have to configure the os to get it to work which was a bit of a pain. I did not set up the touch screen as I am using it with a lite version of Raspberry Pi OS. The web site only has instruction for using xwindows graphical method. I almost sent this back, but I finally was able to get it to work.

Good screen, defective HDMI connector (replaced by seller)
The screen is great, I haven't set up the touch capability because it may interfere with other components. I need to check the protocol/pins for the various components, I may try to get the ribbon for the touch free so that I can use it as a USB 'mouse'. The only issue i have is that the included HDMI connector did not work. Under the same settings works perfectly with an HDMI cable, I think there may be a short because there is what appears to be a solder connection between two of the pins. This is a shame because the connector would have made the conclusion of project easier and more elegant. Over all A+ for the screen but F for the HDMI connector.Update-> I contacted the seller about the connector and within a day they responded and said they'll send a replacement tomorrow. Great costumer service. If the replacement works I'll change to 5 starUpdate 2=> they provided a tracking number for the replacement connector.Update 3=> the replacement HDMI connector arrived today, works perfectly. Changing rating to 5 star. As a note getting the replacement was quite painless, the seller was responsive and shipped the connector within a couple days at no charge.

Garbage.
It gets REALLY hot, like... I don't feel comfortable putting this into a 3D printed enclosure because it will probably deform it. -- there are no mounting points either; so you have to design the enclosure for the PI to mount, and that leads to a lot of design churn... -- also it comes on and has a lot of OSD stuff going on (static and then a splash screen image and then "HDMI" at the end), and the text it displays ends up being too tiny to read. -- It sucks so much power from the PI that you will constantly get undervolt warnings (probably all that heat it's producing...) -- OH!! And not to forget, the four corners are DARK, like the backlight is not even... it leaks a ton of light out the edges, but then the four corners fade to black, and you can't see the image there... the backlight switch is either on or off (off is useless because you can't see anything), there is no wheel to dial it or anything... :(

Screen works fine, but drivers not so mutch.
If your looking for a small display for you raspberry pi project i reccomend that you buy this, but if your project relies hevily on touch input, spend your money elsewhere, when you open you instruction booklet it tells you to go to this website, soyoo.com/driver/rpiscreen-hdmi.html which is clearly out dated, and when you try to download the drivers it directs you to a google drive file that does not exist. If you go to the OSOYOO website and find this product it allows you to download the operating systems, but they are in an outdated .rar format, and unless you have a computer pre dating 2009 or want to buy the newest copy of winRAR, your out of luck. However like I said before if your project uses game controllers or a keyboard or any other form of input rather than touch i do reccomend you get this it is a nice little display with decent resolution at a fair price.

Display is ~800x600px (4:3 ratio) with hardware scaler
Somewhat deceptive advertising. The display identifies as a 1920x1080, but is actually ~800x600px (4:3 ratio) with a hardware scaler. Most text at 1920x1080 is unreadable due to dropped pixels (not just the small size.)You'll want to reduce to 800x600 if using as your primary display, and to avoid wasting pixels due to letter boxing 16:9.On the positive side, the display did "just work" with zero configuration on Raspbian, Lakka, and RetroPie. Even though text is illegible, there is generally enough detail to navigate and adjust settings via UI if you know what you're looking for (e.g., enable VNC, reduce the screen resolution to 800x600, etc.)One nice thing about being able to set the resolution to 1920x1080 is that it allows for a reasonably sized desktop when connecting with VNC.Having only tried a few display modes w/Raspbian Jesse, I've had good luck @60hz. The one mode I tried at 75hz resulted in scrambled output (looked like display might be fixed at 60hz).
