Frequently Asked Questions
Does the touchscreen work when used as a PC monitor?
No, when connected to a PC via HDMI only the display and audio functions are active. Touch control requires a Raspberry Pi (or other Linux host) with the driver installed and the USB touch cable connected.
Can I use this display with a Raspberry Pi Zero?
Yes. For Raspberry Pi Zero or Pi 1 B, you need to connect via an HDMI cable (sold separately) plus the USB cable for touch. Ensure you install the resistive-touch driver on your Pi Zero OS.
How do I enable audio output?
After connecting the display’s HDMI cable, go to your Raspberry Pi’s audio settings and select HDMI as the output. Then plug speakers or headphones into the 3.5 mm audio jack on the display to hear sound.
