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 chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- 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.
