You don't add a new screen.
You plug it into the family TV. Just like you did in the eighties when you were a kid learning to program with your Speccy or c64 or whatever. Mom or Dad or your siblings can hang out and comment on what you're doing with it. That's the experience Raspberry has been claiming to want to reproduce since they first came onto the scene in 2012, despite them not getting around to stuffing a Pi into this form factor until 2022.

- antod 1y agoLying on the living room floor looking up the the TV was great for getting a sore neck. And I still have crusty calloused skin on my elbows from the carpet. Getting an Amiga later on with an actual monitor that sat on a desk was amazing.

- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoEver since I had my own source of income, I've only bought laptops and I do not possess any monitor (old or new) at home. Writing this, I just realized that even at work, we only have a single monitor. And it's stored on a shelf not even plugged.
- avhon1 1y agoIf that's the only thing keeping you from buying and using a raspberry pi, you can get secondhand monitors or TVs for $20 or so.
