A compact, panel-mountable 5" HDMI monitor with a built-in resistive touchscreen. Featuring the TI TFP401 DVI/HDMI decoder, this display works with any computer that has HDMI output — simply plug in and go.
The resistive touchscreen registers as a standard USB mouse, so no special drivers are needed. Tested and working on Mac, Windows, and Debian Linux (including Raspbian on Raspberry Pi).
Key Features
- 800×480 Resolution – Compact enough for portable and embedded projects while still running most software
- USB Powered – Runs entirely from a USB port drawing 500 mA at full brightness, or as low as 370 mA at half brightness
- Resistive Touchscreen – Shows up as a USB mouse with no additional drivers required
- PWM Backlight Control – Connect to a microcontroller PWM output for continuous brightness adjustment
- TFP401 Decoder – Decodes unencrypted DVI/HDMI video to raw 24-bit colour output (HDCP not supported)
Ideal For
- Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black projects
- Portable and embedded displays
- Panel-mounted kiosk or dashboard interfaces
- Any desktop or laptop with HDMI output

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- HDMI
- HDMI is a common digital video and audio connection used by computers, media players, and many displays. If a display kit has HDMI input, it is usually much easier to test with a single-board computer because it can act like a normal monitor.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
