    I bought this in conjunction with the Kano computer kit and it's holding up well so far, great size and durable despite being dropped twice since being opened on christmas 😣 It's my 6 yr old's favorite new toy by far!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Workmanship on Kano Products
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    It seemed like a good idea. First problem was that the light buttons would not connect to the monitor. After contacting Kano, they said that the buttons were not needed because there was a software problem and could not be used, so disregard the component. Next went to connect the display cord to the computer with my grandson and the connector on the screen board just came apart. Never even got a chance to light up the screen. Such shoddy workmanship. Unfortunately, at this point, the product was beyond the period of return for cash back, so I now have a white elephant. Would not recommend buying from Kano to anyone.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Bad fit...1st gen Kano Pi controller doesn't won't fit the allotted Screen Kit space.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Beware!
    This new screen kit is not backwards compatible with the first Kano computer kit. The 1st gen Kano Pi has a mini USB port on the right side and a bottom speaker plug that will not allow it to snap into place where intended on the Kano Screen Kit. That's just poor design. Seriously, do the Kano whiz kids owners expect parents to now buy a new Kano Pi just to fit into that plastic snap slot? The screen kit isn't that educational except for little kids. You're better off saving your money and just connecting the Raspberry Pi to your own monitor. Inexpensive monitors can be bought for less than this kit.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Due to conflicting online information (including in these amazon reviews) I thought the 1st gen kano computer might not fit into the slot in the back of this screen. This sounds like a small issue, but the convenience is the reason to pay double for this screen vs. other available monitors. For that reason I called customer support on 3/20/2018 and asked the question. The polite gentleman on the phone confirmed explicitly that it would fit 1st gen. (I asked this several times / ways, as this was the express reason for my call). Four days later I find myself with a frustrated 6 year old realizing, like another reviewer to whom I should have paid more attention, the 1st gen does not fit due to 'something sticking out on each side of it.' Severely disappointed. Also currently experiencing an upside down screen problem, and the instructions online do not work. (there is no "flip screen" option in the latest firmware available for gen 1).

    Get your kid a Kano computer. Just go do it. You won't regret it. The screen is great. Not a toy. This is a real computer. The screen has depth to it, so the backside holds the Kano computer, and the Kano keyboard, perfectly fitting it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars für nicht englischsprachige Kinder ungeeignet
    Reviewed in Germany on June 23, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Leider nicht geeignet für nicht englischsprachige Kinder. Das gesamte Prinzip, dass das Kind es alleine nutzt, anwendet und lernt funktioniert in Englischer Sprache. Wenn das Kind kein Englisch spricht, kann es KANO nicht nutzen. Es sei denn, ein Simultanübersetzer sitzt daneben und übersetzt... ich ärgere mich, hierfür Geld ausgegeben zu haben. KANO kann ich für deutsche Kinder nicht empfehlen. Das haben wir leider erst zu spät bemerkt :-(
    Ansonsten wäre es ein tolles Ding. Das Aufbauen macht Spaß. Danach nicht mehr.
