Raspberry Pi - HDMI 4 Pi: 7" Display 1280x800 IPS - HDMI/VGA/NTSC/PAL info

Make a lovely video setup with Raspberry Pi - HDMI 4 Pi: 7" Display 1280x800 IPS - HDMI/VGA/NTSC/PAL. Here we have a beautiful bright 7" TFT display with incredibly high resolution and great angle-visibility! We tried to get the thinnest, brightest, highest resolution display that would be good for embedded computing usage. The visible display measures 7" diagonal and is a 'raw LVDS' display as is used in a tablet which makes it ultra thin and very bright. We include a driver board with HDMI, VGA and Composite inputs. The setup is very easy to use - simply connect a 5 to 9VDC adapter to the 2.1mm center-positive DC jack, then connect a digital video source to one of the ports. Voilà, a display!

There's a little wired PCB with little buttons that let you enter a menu system for adjusting brightness, color and contrast. It tries to auto-detect which input you have and switches to that one or you can 'select' from the menu which to display.

Raspberry Pi - HDMI 4 Pi: 7" Display 1280x800 IPS - HDMI/VGA/NTSC/PAL will work connected to any device with HDMI, VGA or NTSC/PAL output. It will not work with a device that only outputs DVI (without a DVI to HDMI converter) or SECAM.

For use with a Raspberry Pi we suggest editing config.txt to set the HDMI to native 1280x800 in case it doesn't detect the resolution properly. The easiest way to edit the config.txt is to put the Pi SD card into a computer and edit config.txt with any text editor and save.

For use with a BeagleBone Black running Ubuntu/Debian, we found it works when plugged in, no configuration required.

A power adapter is NOT included. You will need a 5-9VDC adapter to power the device.
