The display is good, but the instructions given by Waveshare do not work anymore with the latest Raspberry Pi OS (“Bookworm 64bit” version was the latest when this review was written).
To make it work with the latest Raspberry Pi OS, follow the below steps:
1. Open “/boot/config.txt” file.
2. Paste the below text at the end of the file:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,7_0_inchC,i2c1
Also if you want to rotate the desktop, use Raspberry Pi to configure 180-degree rotation, and paste the below text at the end of “/boot/config.txt” file instead of the above-given text. to make the mouse movements invert.

very good combination to use with raspberry pi 4. Display, pi and case integrates seamlessly. Display resolution is higher than that of raspberry pi official display.
