The Hyperpixel 4 is an excellent touchscreen, capacitive touch is definitely the way to go, vs resistive. I found it a bit too small for JiveLite, but it works well with a custom app with larger touch areas. The 5" OSOYOO touchscreen works nicely for pCP/JiveLite. It does need a more stable

The hyper pixel uses the dpi interface, so it uses a bunch of pins on the interface. I have not checked if it consumes pins needed by the Dac. A USB Dac would work fine. There are many waveshare options, but every screen is different, and uses different drivers. ItÂ’s hard to keep track of

I'd been under the impression 7" may be too small but I guess that PIM369 is 4". 'This on Amazon seems similar.' (https://www.amazon.com/HDMI-LCD-Resolution-Resistive-Screen/dp/B07P5H2315) except it looks like it uses the header just for the touch function and requires the monitor to connect to

I have been thinking of doing something similar, so I bought a Amazon Fire 8" tablet I didn't need on Black Friday for, I think about $60USD (currently about 90). You can currently get the 7" one for about $50. The Fire tablets are inexpensive in part because Amazon is selling you an Amazon

_Short_version_ I don't love the official Raspberry Pi 7" screen. It seems rather dated and overpriced for what it is. I don't care for the large bezel around the LCD and (like many things) it's extensively back ordered right now. On the other hand, reports do indicate it seems to be
