<br />
== Technical overview ==<br />
* IPS panel with fixed hardware resolution of 400×1280 pixels.<br />
* Capacitive 5-point touch with toughened glass (hardness up to 6H).<br />
* Connections: HDMI for video, USB for touch input; plus a 3.5mm jack for audio output.<br />
* Supported systems: Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, RetroPie; as a monitor: Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7.<br />
* For Raspberry Pi, add hdmi_group=2, hdmi_mode=87 and a custom hdmi_timings entry to config.txt.<br />
* Screen rotation depends on the OS version (Bookworm/Bullseye/Buster/Stretch/Jessie) via GUI settings, cmdline parameters, or display_rotate.<br />
* Touch rotation can be configured through udev rules (Bookworm CLI), Xorg configuration (Bullseye/Buster), or the physical rotate button on the rear.<br />
* Backlight brightness is adjusted in five steps by long-pressing the ON/OFF button on the back.<br />
* Brightness levels are approximately 300–530 cd/m²; current draw ranges from 470–640 mA.<br />
* Enclosure thickness: touch panel + LCD 7.8 mm; with PCB without components 9.8 mm; with HDMI port 16.5 mm.<br />

<br />
== Notes and version constraints ==<br />
* In multi-monitor setups, touch input defaults to the main display only; mapping it to a secondary display requires extra steps.<br />
* USB ports on older PCs may be underpowered; use an external 5 V/2 A adapter at the power port if needed.<br />
* Exact ID values for xinput/xrandr are device-specific and must be determined on site.<br />
* Rotation parameters depend on the OS version; select the correct method based on the installed system.<br />
* PWM backlight adjustment requires soldering work (remove resistor, connect pad to P1); not beginner-friendly.<br />
