Compact 7.9-inch touchscreen

This 7.9-inch IPS display delivers a 400×1280 resolution with capacitive touch and a toughened glass cover. It connects via HDMI and works with Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano and standard PCs running Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7, plus Raspbian, Ubuntu, Kali, WIN10 IoT and Retropie. Five-point touch is driver-free on Raspberry Pi and Windows; single-point touch applies to Ubuntu, Kali, WIN10 IoT and Jetson Nano.

Low heat and silent operation

The panel draws power over HDMI and has no internal fan, so it runs silently and adds minimal heat to a workbench or embedded build. A 3.5 mm audio jack passes HDMI audio to headphones or speakers without extra cables. Touch orientation is adjustable with an on-board button, letting you rotate the input mapping without software changes.

Steady output during long sessions

Because the unit relies on passive cooling and a simple HDMI power path, its brightness and touch response remain consistent during extended use. There is no thermal throttling or fan spin-up to disrupt a kiosk, dashboard or portable development rig. The toughened glass resists scratches from repeated tapping, keeping the 400×1280 image clear over time.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 7.9" display to a Raspberry Pi and enable the 5-point capacitive touch without installing extra drivers?

Connect the HDMI cable for video and the USB cable for touch power; the Pi will recognise the 400×1280 panel and the 5-point touch works driver-free on Raspbian, Ubuntu, Kali, WIN10 IoT and Retropie.

What ongoing care does the toughened glass cover and capacitive layer need?

Clean the glass with a microfibre cloth and isopropyl alcohol; no calibration or firmware updates are required, and the capacitive sensor has no user-replaceable parts.

At what point does the 3.5 mm audio jack stop delivering clear sound during long sessions?

The jack is passive and stays functional as long as the HDMI source supplies an audio signal; no internal amplifier or battery can degrade.
