Can anyone point me to a solid screen available in Europe?
I already ordered a car screen form amazon but I'm also looking for an easy fix if I can't make that one work. There are lots of screens on aliexpress that seem to work on the HDMI output for the Rpi, is there a way to just plug them in and make that fit in the case?

the gearbest screen is the best option I think, for a screen that needs no modification to run on 5V. The link is in the wiki, i'm sure gearbest ships to Europe.

I second this. Don't waste you're time and money on the BW screens. You don't know what you're getting, so its a gamble. Not having to make any modifications is a great benefit.

It does not have brightness control, and does not come with the small control board for adjustments. That is it's only downside. Also note, not all BW screens come with adjustment controls either. Some do, some don't.
