Compact 5-inch resistive touch display

This portable monitor measures 5 inches diagonally and delivers an 800 by 480 resolution through an HDMI connection. It is designed primarily for Raspberry Pi 3, 2 Model B and earlier full-size boards, drawing both power and touch data via the GPIO header. A protective case is included for assembly and a touch pen is supplied for precise input on the resistive panel.

Makers needing a small HDMI screen with GPIO touch

Builders who want a self-powered display for a compatible Raspberry Pi will find the GPIO-powered operation convenient and the bundled case practical. Users of Raspberry Pi Zero cannot connect this unit directly, and the resistive touch layer only functions with Raspbian or Ubuntu drivers, so other operating systems or finger-only interaction are not supported.

HDMI video plus GPIO power and touch in one build

The monitor plugs into any standard HDMI source for video, but touch and power-over-GPIO only work when paired with a supported Raspberry Pi board. This arrangement frees the USB ports and eliminates the need for a separate power adapter when used as intended. Assembly of the supplied case is required before mounting the screen in a project enclosure.

Questions about this item

Do I need an HDMI cable to connect this 800x480 portable monitor to my computer?

Yes, an HDMI cable is required for the video signal; the touch function over USB or GPIO needs a separate connection depending on the host device.

Will the resistive touch screen work with my older Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ running Raspbian?

The display is designed for Raspberry Pi 3, 2, and 1 B+ A models; touch works on Raspbian and Ubuntu after installing the provided driver.

How can I confirm the touch pen is registering correctly on the 5 inch display after driver installation?

Open a drawing or calibration tool on the host system; the cursor should follow the pen tip precisely across the 800x480 resistive panel.
