This sounds extremely useful to me! I’m building out a home assistant dashboard and would like a nice crisp display with touch.

Why did you get it if it’s useless for you? Not being critical at all, more so curious how it turned out to be a bad fit.

It's https://aliexpress.com/item/1005004110616192.html I think a regular IPS display would be way less susceptible to burn-in when used as a dashboard display, though. As for why I don't use it much: I thought it would be nice to have a second portable screen for my laptop instead of a proper desktop setup, but it's just mildly inconvenient to carry around and set up/pack away every time, and it offers way less usable screen area than a regular-sized display (unsurprisingly).
I would guess it's something like this
