Adafruit HDMI 4 Pi: 5" Display w/Touch and Mini Driver - 800x480 HDMI

Description

This compact 5" TFT display boasts a WVGA 800x480 resolution and a resistive touchscreen, paired with a USB-powered driver board. Ideal for embedding into electronics, the screen features 24-bit color capability with HDMI input for crystal-clear visuals.

Perfect for miniature TVs, GPS devices, and handheld games, it connects easily with Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, or any HDMI-compatible device. Installation is a breeze: connect the USB power to a 5V supply and link your device through HDMI.

The touchscreen registers as a 'HID Mouse' for simple plug-and-play use, with optional calibration software available for both Windows and Linux users. A handy PCB allows for adjustments in brightness and contrast through an integrated menu system.

For Raspberry Pi users, set HDMI to 800x480 using config.txt for optimal display while the BeagleBone Black needs no extra configuration. Note, a power adapter is unnecessary—use a 500mA 5V USB source or modify for an alternate power supply.
