Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this display at full resolution with Raspberry Pi 3?
Yes. After connecting via HDMI, edit /boot/config.txt to include a custom HDMI mode (e.g., hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6) so the Pi outputs exactly 800×480 without overscan.
Does the touchscreen work on Windows 7?
On Windows 7 systems, the panel supports single-point touch only. For multi-touch functionality (up to 5 points), use Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 with the native HID touch drivers.
Is any driver installation required on Windows 10?
No additional drivers are needed on Windows 8.1 or 10—just connect the HDMI and USB cables and the OS automatically recognizes both display and touch functions.
