      Had anyone tried these before? The LCD with audio board option on AliExpress?

      € 20,82 13%OFF | 9.7"inch 1024*768 HD screen display 4:3 LCD Controller LP097X02 LTN097XL01 monitor driver board HDMI VGA 2AV for Raspberry Pi

      https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/AjrY3Mz

      Would be fairly cheap, good quality and the right aspect ratio (or close at least)

      I'm a bit hesitant to buy one so I was wondering if there's some that has experience with this one.

      Or maybe someone has better option? I want to build a small arcade system.

      Thanks for any help

        I've not used that particular board and/or screen before, but I have ordered a similar configuration from aliexpress before (although I bought a much lower priced and lower resolution allwinner screen) and their service was absolutely fantastic. despite it taking nearly 2 weeks to arrive I got full tracking and I'd say in that sense it was better than ordering from the UK since you knew exactly where the item was at all times. It was well packaged and I was up and running within minutes of receiving my parcel (although I did have to make some changes to my config file before it would boot, due to the strange resolution I had to set it to). I'm dubious about it saying HD but then saying VGA in the same description. I didn't know ipad screen resolutions were so low and 4:3? But you know all said and done it's gonna be a great quality screen for what you need as most games run at that aspect ratio and for the price you're normally looking at double that for a decent screen, plus you get the driver board too so it should work straight out of the box.
