Raspberry Pi - Great display companion for R-Pi devices
By Gui Ambros
If you're looking for a small portable TV/composite display for your tiny Raspberry Pi, this is a good option.
The screen supports 480x272, which is enough for some light typing. You can see what's on the screen, and adjusting the brightness you can read 80-90% of the text. But keep in mind it's nowhere close to your high-res iphone display that you're so used. It's a NTSC TV after all, so images are a bit blurry and there's some flicker.
Still, if all you need is a small and affordable display so you can see what's going on on the console, and most of the work will be done via SSH, this is a handy product.
Pros:
- excellent price
- very light and portable
- controls for brightness, contrast,
- selection between 4:3 and 16:9 wide mode
- two AV inputs
Cons:
- blurry image (main reason why I reduced 1 star) [EDIT 2013-01: Improved. See below]
- stand is indeed cheap, as other reviewers mentioned. I didn't break mine yet, but I can see this falling apart some day.
- trouble to use the full screen with the R-Pi. Even setting up Overscan and tweaking manually, I still have a narrow (+-5px) black bar on top and bottom. [EDIT 2013-01: FIXED! See below]
If all you need is a small portable display to play with your Raspberry Pi, this is a good option.
EDIT 1: AC adapter is not included. You need to provide a 12V DC wall adapter ($5-8 at Amazon for a model with 1A output, 2.1mm plug).
EDIT 2 - 2013-01: thanks to @Greenman's suggestion below, I was able to eliminate the narrow black bars and make the R-Pi use the full screen. It also reduced a bit of the flicker and the blurriness. Now I'd increase my review to 4.5 stars.

AWESOME Raspberry Pi display
By J. Hedstrom
Clear and bright non-glossy anti-glare screen. What follows are the tips and tricks I learned over a few days of battling which will help get people up and started right away.
If you own a soldering iron and a screw driver it is VERY easy to make this 5v powered. The power input (red wire) goes to a buck converter which converts the 6-32VDC input down to the 5VDC that the display uses. After this change it pulls about 2W. At first I rewired the power connector to a USB but it's so big, bulky, and a waste of limited USB connections that I later changed to a 2 pin header to plug into a 5v/ground pair on the GPIO header. This will be on the edge of what the Raspberry Pi can source so you'll need to do one of two things. One option is plug the screen into a powered USB hub, but this defeats the simplicity of the mod. Instead just bypass the polyfuse (big green chip near the power connector on the Pi) and buy a 10W USB charger as your power source (I have the New Trent one from Amazon which is only $10). On average I am seeing ~4W total while playing music + WIFI + USB audio DAC + this beautiful monitor.
Now here are my Raspbian setting which work as of March 26, 2013.
/boot/config.txt settings for edge to edge beauty:
sdtv_mode=0 #for NTSC
sdtv_aspect=3 #for 16:9
framebuffer_width=480
framebuffer_height=272
disable_overscan=1 #non-intuitive but the overscan_scale does the work
overscan_scale=1 #currently undocumented but works
overscan_left=16
overscan_right=16
overscan_top=8
overscan_bottom=8
Now make the font larger on the terminal:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
UTF-8
Guess optimal character set
Terminus Bold
11x22 (or whatever you like)

It's OK, but does have some hidden potential.
By MGB
I purchased this item to use along with my Raspberry Pi, and figured I would give it a run on my Sat Receiver's output to check video quality. At first I plugged it in to power, and it didn't come on, so I thought what is going on here. I decided that I would connect it to video and see if it was automatic which it was; coming on as soon as it detected video. I was watching it and realized that the video was pretty awful, and was just going to send it back being the model I received has no buttons anywhere on it to adjust the settings.
Being an engineer, tech guy, and generally curious about why it had no buttons when it should; I opened it and found places on the board for 3 buttons. I decided to use a jumper wire and try to get it to respond; it did, just as I figured it would. The center set of pads is for the menu, and the top and bottom are + and -. I was able to get several options including brightness, contrast, tint, saturation, language, and reset. I have no idea why the manufacturer decided to skip adding the very inexpensive buttons; hindering the functionality of the display, but it is Cheapie China.
I just ordered 100 of the missing buttons for $6 and some change. Hardly an expensive part to leave out. Maybe one day Chinese manufacturers will learn when they should and shouldn't cut corners.
Also, though it doesn't say so; it has 2 inputs Video 1 (Yellow RCA) and Video 2 (White RCA) and is auto selecting. There is no manual way to select the video input. It will simply switch to the next one it senses a signal from, and then back when the signal on the second input goes off.
My display was purchased from the 3rd party seller "Intsun Supermarket". Please remember to include the seller name in your review if you decide to make one. This will help others make their purchase being there are many sellers shipping very different products under this one listing.
Update:
I have finally modified my display with the 3 missing buttons, and have added a series of 15 pictures to the site showing how I did the modifications. They are located in the customer images section at the top of the product page. I tried to be fairly detailed without doing a video since nobody wants to see my ugly mug. I hope this is of some help to others, and I will try to answer any questions if I can. Images can be found here. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B006MPRFJQ/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_dav
