Technical overview

• Resolution: 1080 × 1920 pixels; default portrait orientation.
• 5-point capacitive touch panel behind a tempered glass cover.
• Interfaces: USB for power/touch and HDMI for video; optional 3.5 mm jack for audio.
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, and Retropie; on the Pi the resolution must be manually set in config.txt.
• As a PC monitor it supports Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11.
• For PC use, connect the touch port via USB; in multi-monitor setups the touch effect applies to the primary monitor by default.
• Display rotation is either via xrandr or via display_rotate in /boot/config.txt depending on the loaded driver.
• Touch rotation does not follow display rotation automatically and must be calibrated separately or rotated via the hardware button.

Notes and version constraints

• The AMOLED glass is very fragile without a protection case; when plugging/unplugging HDMI and USB, hold the PCB firmly first and avoid applying pressure to the glass.
• Use M2.5 screws no longer than 4 mm; longer screws can damage the AMOLED panel.
• Prolonged display of static images risks burn-in; keep static content under 1 hour.
• On Raspberry Pi the resolution must be manually configured, otherwise the display may behave abnormally.
• Touch rotation does not automatically follow display rotation; calibrate or use the hardware rotate button.
• If PC USB ports cannot supply enough power, connect an external 5 V/2 A adapter to the display's power port.
• A flashing green light indicates the device is powered on but receiving no HDMI signal.
• Software-controlled brightness requires re-flashing firmware; see the resource section for details.
