BFKK 5-Inch Resistive Touch Screen TFT LCD Display 800x480

SKU CH-8XCW-CY6GC

A 5-inch resistive TFT LCD touchscreen with 800×480 resolution, 60 Hz refresh, and GPIO plus HDMI connectivity for Raspberry Pi and other boards

  • Sharp 800 x 480 HD picture on a 5-inch TFT panel
  • Resistive touch works with gloves, pen or tools in dusty or wet conditions
  • Direct GPIO connection powers the display and drives touch on Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3, 2B and Zero
  • Backlight switch cuts power draw when the screen is idle
  • 60 Hz refresh and ILI9486L driver deliver smooth full-colour video

5-Inch Resistive Touch Display for Pi

This 5-inch TFT LCD module provides an 800x480 resolution with a resistive touchscreen suited for Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3 and Zero boards. It connects through the 13*2 GPIO header for both power and touch input, while a separate HD interface handles video. The display is aimed at makers building embedded interfaces, kiosk panels or portable monitoring rigs where a compact touch surface is needed.

Industrial Resistive Panel with GPIO Power

The resistive layer accepts input from the included touch pen, gloved fingers or non-conductive tools and is rated for a 1 million touch lifespan, making it practical for dusty or damp workshops. A physical backlight switch lets you cut illumination to reduce the 5 V power draw when the screen is idle. Mounting is handled by the four supplied copper pillars, and a micro USB port offers an alternative 5 V feed if the GPIO pins are occupied.

Upgrade from Basic HDMI Monitors

Unlike a standard HDMI panel, this module adds touch control directly through the Pi GPIO without extra drivers on the host PC, though the touch function is unavailable when the screen is driven as a generic 800x480 monitor. The jump is worthwhile when you need an integrated touch interface for Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano projects; it is not suited for users who only need a passive second display or higher pixel density.

Questions about this item

What video interface does the 5-inch resistive touchscreen use, and what resolution is it capped at in practice?

The display uses an HD interface for video and is limited to 800x480 resolution at 60Hz.

What physical mounting hardware is included, and what board spacing does it create?

Four copper pillars are supplied to space the screen from the host board.

How is the touch driver installed on a Raspberry Pi, and which step is commonly missed?

SSH into the Pi, download the driver from GitHub, run chmod -R 755 LCD-show then cd LCD-show and sudo ./LCD5-show; the step often missed is making the folder executable before changing into it.
