Well, the one I linked to is 1024x600, but yes, most of them are terrible. The Farnell 7" screen is 800x480 and £15 more expensive. never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you're dead

Well, here's a cheaper case/bezel (@ £12.48), probably not quite the build quality though I was surprised to see the screen also works with windows 7-10. Trying to think of the uses (/idle speculation) of a small touchscreen to supplement my display, which I sometimes forget is not a touchscreen. “Novelist who wrote ‘How to Murder Your Husband’ charged with murdering her husband”

That's the case I've got - unfortunately the amp and DAC I've got attached to the back come out way beyond the removable blanking plate. It's supposed to be wall mountable, but I've had to file out one of the screw mounts as the circuit boards just didn't fit (it's fine if you're just mounting the pi in it), so there's only the one mounting hole, but it's not practical to hang it off one screw somewhere in the recess cut out for it. If you were to surface mount it, there's a good 5cm that will stand off from the wall. Drawings n' that PIBEES

You can't stick the pi in a nearby cabinet and just mount the display? “However bad you thought the oldest human drawing would be, it’s worse.”

That's an alternative, but I'd need an extension to the ribbon display cable that the screen uses. I'm not sure how long a length they're available in. Drawings n' that PIBEES

I'll have to check, but I don't think the screen has an HDMI in... Edit - Aye, this is from the specs as listed on pimoroni: Connects to the Raspberry Pi board using a ribbon cable connected to the DSI port. S'gotta be that the HDMI won't pass the touchscreen commands back to the Pi. Drawings n' that PIBEES

Ah... I dunno which screen you got, but this one sez it's treated as a usb mouse over hdmi: Quote: This version has touch screen capability. The touch screen shows up as a USB mouse so no special drivers needed. We've tested it sucessfully on Mac, Windows, and Debian Linux (Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi). https://www.adafruit.com/product/2260 “However bad you thought the oldest human drawing would be, it’s worse.”

No electrician today, but they have got the underfloor heating down and started the floor tiles. I've updated the folder in the previous link with some more pictures. Drawings n' that PIBEES

OK, that is blowing my mind. It looks like a freakin' Ikea showroom. I will never show this to Mrs.D! “History teaches very little if we only recall the invention of thermal underwear and bacon sandwiches.”
