The lower resolution shows
At 800 x 480 it is likely fine for a lot of basic tasks but as a display for my music streamer it is lacking. The album covers don't look sharp at all. If you are anything off center on the viewing angle the image suffers noticeably. The subtle background image to the streamer display disappears if you aren't dead center. Even on center the colors are a bit washed out but anything more than 30 degrees off angle and they go down hill fast.

Great screen, bad setup
So, I actually like the screen. It works and looks great. The design of the screen hardware, however, is less than good. If you attach the Pi to the display hardware, as intended, the ribbon cable blocks access to the SD port. Not a big deal if you plan to just leave the SD card in it. But let's say you have multiple boot SD cards, like Raspian on one, RetroPi on another. Swapping out can be difficult. If you also use the case (for sale here) or 3D print your own similar, the case will actually push the ribbon cable tighter against the machine making EVEN MORE difficult to swap out. In fact, impossible without taking the back of the case off.
