- Supported systems on Raspberry Pi: Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian), Ubuntu, Kali, Retropie, WIN10 IoT.
- On a PC, connect the display via HDMI and the touch connector via USB. If USB power is insufficient, plug an external 5V/2A adapter into the DC input.
- When several monitors are connected at once, set this LCD as the main display so the cursor remains controllable.
- On Raspberry Pi, the resolution must be manually set in config.txt; otherwise the display may render abnormally.
- Recommended screen-saver setup: install xscreensaver to avoid static images for longer than about 1 hour.
- Mounting: M2.5 threaded mounting holes.
