Worked on the first try.
This little display is pretty impressive. Touch functions work great. You can drive your RPi 4 with the little stylus that is included in the kit. I had no issues installing the hardware or adding the drivers using the instructions on the Amazon product page for this little case/display combo. I'll be honest, unless you have a specific project in mind for this, like making a wee-television for LEGO people, or using it for a control box with touch screen for something else I'm not sure what real applications this would fill that you could not do with other devices like tablets. Having said that... it's incredibly fun and the fact that the display supports rotation at the HARDWARE level (meaning mounted physically upside down) you can see the power-on/boot messages correctly is VERY impressive. As you can see from my photo, I have power connected at the top and the display is oriented properly. Simply use the rotate.sh command in the /home/pi/LCD-show directory and it reboots with the orientation you choose and remembers it. Very cool attention to detail in my opinion. This function is specific to this display where you'd normally use a rotate command in your /boot/config.txt file, but doing that does NOT get you rotated text when booting up from power-off. In any event, this seems like a neat little device. The RPi runs pretty warm with this screen, even with the fan and heat sinks, so I'd probably say over-clocking your RPi 4 might not be the best idea.Update: 05/07/2020 - After reading some other reviews, I thought I'd also mention that the screen resolution is not ideal in certain applications. I had some issues with things like browsers getting clipped off-screen and had to do a little additional work to move the window so I could get at certain buttons for certain windows. I'm sure there are ways around that, but for a casual user it might be frustrating. Aside from that.. it's still humming along.

Know what you are buying.
The media could not be loaded. Keep in mind that this is a 3.5" screen that runs at a resolution of 320x480 pixels. You will not be able to see your entire desktop... applications will be cut off.If you remote desktop via VNC viewer, your window will mimic the 320x480 resolution when you connect. This means that any limitations on the physical screen will carry over to VNC viewer. You will need to switch back to HDMI to do anything that requires full desktop access.Also, when using the stylus the point of contact on the screen did not correspond with mouse movements for me. I still have not figured out how to fix that... but I am not using it as a touch screen and it's not a priority for my project.The enclosure does not appear to provide adequate cooling (even with the fan and heatsinks). I am only running a simple crypto coin ticker and the Pi is between 57 and 60 Celsius in an air conditioned environment at 22.22 Celsius.This is a handy little screen if you know its limitations; it works for me because I purpose built it to be a crypto/stock ticker.This screen may work well as a clock or some kind of home monitoring system if you can sort out the stylus to screen coordinates.

Great buy for the case, fan, screen, and heat sinks
First of all, the screen is top notch and the fan is already mounted. I don't have to think about where and how. So already a plus for me.The case is well made and comes with a top cover. It's in my picture, but not in the listing. Another huge plus. Lets me remove the screen and have a 100% headless Pi and use the screen on another pi. That said, the fan is attached to the screen. It can be removed, but it's glued, and I don't be doing that.The drivers are also easy to install. They're standard touch screen LCD drivers and work with 3 commands.Brightness is good. Refresh is good. Fan is quiet. Pretty happy with the purchase.

1⭐ across the board
This product looks great for an out of the way mini PC, it's compact and even comes with a stylus, the biggest issue I found is programming this screen is impossible, the drivers needed are only updated to Ubuntu 20.04 (it is 22.06 currently I believe) and even installing the older version of Ubuntu leads to the same error message that the drivers don't exist, the only 2 other issues I found with this product are: first if you try to install your RPI4 with a micro SD card inserted the micro SD WILL BREAK it snapped my brand new 32 gb SanDisk extreme pro.. luckily I had a 16 gb SanDisk ultra that works fine but this could end anyone's endeavor of building this PC and not knowing this. Secondly, the unit is simply too small, I had it on and running off an HDMI out for less than 45 minutes and it was already quite warm to the touch, don't get this, it's not worth it, don't waste your money and potentially destroy your board.Instead grab the official 7" RPI4 touchscreen/housing on vilros for $89.99 (USD)it works much better there is no programming required unless you need to rotate your screen and even then it's only one line that is present in every Linux system, if you're in need of a smaller screen size and aren't too worried about overheating then try and find a screen you won't have to program or that has extensive coverage on the topic on YouTube/manufacturer webpage.That all being said if you need just housing for the pi 4 then this product will work sufficient enough, the screen is not a requirement to use the housing.
