Which larger touchscreen?

Is it recommended that we stick with the Raspberry Pi official 7' Touchscreen, the Waveshare, or will any of the third party larger screens work just as well?

I ask as my eyesight is deteriorating and I have seen options up to 13.3"

My thanks in advance.

Hi

The largest screen that is supported is the 7 inch screen. Larger screens connect to HDMI and use different (USB) touch drivers, neither of which are supported by the Portsdown.

Thanks for the response Dave.

I may just use a fresnel lens in front, maybe making it a steampunk themed case (just a thought at this stage)
