ELECROW sent me a touch screen for review. All opinions are my own.

The Meteor Screen 10.1″ IPS Capacitive Touch Screen with RGB Animated light is a high-quality touch screen display. With its sleek design and advanced features, this screen is perfect for tech enthusiasts and tinkerers. Its backlights and RGB flow animation light string features add a touch of style and sophistication to any project.

This product is made by ELECROW, a supplier to the open-source industry. They also offer PCB prototyping and sales of open source hardware for creators, something someone searching for this review might also be interested in someday!

While mainly used as a touch screen for Raspberry Pi projects, it can also be used to display anything that takes HDMI. I can imagine a video editor using it as a specialized touch screen for their preferred video editing program.
