NOTE - When used in Landscape Mode with a Raspberry Pi in I would steer you clear of using it as a mini retro game player or HD video player as the screen tearing that only occurs in this orientation will be no fun.
UPDATE - I can confirm No Screen Tearing in any orientation when using Ubuntu Desktop 21.10 with a Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer.

I have set this up with a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B but you can definitely use this screen with earlier version of Raspberry Pi Board going through the same process shown here. AMOLED screens have higher contrast, wider colour gamut, and wider viewing angles when compared with an LCD equivalent. This is why this 5.5inch 1920x1080 screen for Raspberry Pi provides such an elegant visual experience. Sporting a toughened glass capacitive touch panel (boasting a 6H hardness), 5 points of simultaneous inputs, a 3.5mm audio jack supporting the better HDMI audio output, and a micro-USB connection to power both the screen and Raspberry Pi simultaneously it all makes this screen a formidable front runner. Oh and did I mention it provides mounting points on the back for any previous generation of Raspberry Pi. So come learn how to set one up, tweak it so it performs the best, add rad screen savers, check out great use cases for it and download the free 3D printed case I made specially for it. Big shout out to MKChung22 as I based a lot of the case I made from his original design. Its time to take full advantage of this compact nugget of practical computing power in its most beautiful evolution yet.

Loved this. Great presentation and a well thought out and useful project. Thank you.
It is a fantastic episode which all the details and references. I'm sure you have to spend a lot of time researching and recording this.
Thank you so much. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great project :)

You fella! EARNED ME AS A SUBCRIBER :O GOOD JOB!
Yeehaw! đ
could it be used as a philips hue controller, to control light/light colors? I want to make my room more tech. Remove the physical buttons to control the lights...
Can we use this display with android like samsung dex with touch support
where can i buy the case ? will the case fit an ups hat like the pijuice ? the screen doesn't need his own power supply ? thanks
Hii great video!
I was wondering which lcd display would you recommend if we want to just display the output video of a camera. The camera is attached to the RPi whereby RPi runs face recognition
Heyya đ big thanks. It depends really on how pretty/form factor that you want the LCD display to be. The official 7 Inch Touchscreen Display would be a great choice - core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/CE04459
If you desire something more streamline check out this display here - core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/FIT0820
Any fix to the static upon boot up?
I tried to use a Geekworm 3.5" with a IQaudio DAC+ and after 2 days of trying to get the damn thing to work, I finally started the return.
Do waveshares work okay with DACs?
So, I was testing in a 15.6" display, and the code for config.txt lets me use as an tablet, but just when i unplug and replug it. Would you know what i possibly could do to fix this please?
Hi, on mine I canât use multitouch. Can you help?
please make a video on inkscreen display 13 inch screen with magnetic touch sceen for stylus if possible
Is this screen working with pi5 and umbrel?
Is the display supports raspberry pi 5 ? please help
Have you played around with the backlighting? There is a button on the back for bl. What exactly is that for? Daytime/Nighttime?
Short press to turn on or off the display, long press to adjust the brightness, and the brightness is divided into five levels. That's what it does đ
I'm using 4" waveshare hdmi with touch screen but no matter what I do I can't get the touch screen to work. I try every script but nothing happens
Is there an alternative for the big power plug? That would be a pain in the ass when mounting.
You can use the USB-C or USB-Micro (on the screen) to power the set-up, just so long as you get enough power to the system it'll be happy. A POE HAT is also an option (then all you need is a powered Ethernet cord).
As a note, I wouldn't recommend powering this system through the GPIO Pins as they won't allow enough current in for the system.
Could one use these little screens without the help from a RaspberryPI. For example plug in the screen with its power source into an output from a Camera for a display.
I've been doing research on this and apparently, you can, but I'm still looking to see if one can dim it directly, since it has a DDC/CI monitor control without the need of external source like a raspberry pi, but I'm not sure on the language so the search continues.
can we increase the brightness of the screen through inbuilt buttons or through pi?
Both will be able to. The button on the back is perfectly set up to do the job.
Any advances on the screentearing issue? I've read that it doesn't have that issue on windows. I'm itching to get it, but I would like to know why it's not meshing well with the rpi. Maybe it's just the hdmi connector?
My understanding is Window based machines and Jetson Nano have no issue with screen-tearing in any orientation. I have tried this with different HDMI Connectors and still found there to be tearing in landscape mode.
@@Core-Electronics Would it be possible to test it with a different OS on the rPi? I found this on the forums: "Ubuntu Desktop 21.04 on my Pi 4B 4GB and I can report that Canonical have managed to fix the screen tearing problem" 21.04 uses wayland instead of the x11 window system.
I reckon its going to work just fine. Come jump on our Core Electronics forum and create a new topic on this and we can test it out for you + provide images đ
So I have the Raspberry Pi 4B and am looking to blend the video looper configuration with the 3.5lcd or a 4in hdmi lcd. Is there a specific order I should configure the systems?
I'd start with setting up the Hardware and getting your preferred screen all up and running. From there go through the Video Looper process - core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/raspberry-pi-video-looper.html
We found the current Video Looping System wont work with Screen that receive the video data through GPIO pins. So long as your using a HDMI port to transmit the video you should be sweet.
@@Core-Electronics SWEET! Thank you! I ended up getting the Elecrow 5in HDMI. Do you all have any videos on the Elecrow LCDs?
Not on that specific HDMI but you'll find a lot of what happens in the above video will correlate when your setting it up. Altering the | config.txt | is a common process for all these types of screens.
Good Luck!
i want one of these to have a chat monitor for my streams xd
Does this screen work if the pi is powered using PoE?
Definitely and regardless of whether your using the original PoE HAT or the PoE+ HAT they both will supply enough power to this system.
any idea why the LCD glitches like that?
Honestly no, some full sized monitors that are meant for Landscape can be flickery in portrait and thats normally a driver issue. So I reckon that is what the situation is here.
I am new to raspberry pi sorry if my question is a bit dumb. Is it possible to use the raspberry pi with the touch screen display only(with the power supply) with a camera? With no use of a pc or laptop
Absolutely you can đ the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is a Full On single board Computer. You can definitely hook up a screen and a camera to it no problem. The only time you might need a PC or Laptop is when you are flashing a new Micro-SD card that will end up the brain for your single board raspberry pi computer. We also sell already flashed cards so you wont even need to touch another computer if you go down that route - core-electronics.com.au/16gb-microsd-card-with-noobs-for-all-raspberry-pi-boards.html
@@Core-Electronics I see. Thank you very much
Can we use this screen to display videos from raspberry pi running for full day??
It might depend on the video, AMOLED screens suffer from burn in if the same image is on screen for too long. We have some info in the guide if you want to check it out!

Bro plz tell how to change sd card in raspberry pi 4 I am from indiađâș
Simple champ, just pull out the SD card gentle and insert your new one. Give this guide a look if you need mate - core-electronics.com.au/guides/dual-monitors-raspberry-pi-4/
@@Core-Electronics thank you so much brođ
Well my Waveshare 5.5 amoled display worked for about a month. Stopped using it and then went to use it again on the same device ( Jetson Nano ) and got the blinking green light, and now it is not longer detected on any system with any cable.. Another dissapointed user here, I should have taken the negative reviews seriously
Does this also work for the 7 inch version?
Having lots of the same problems with mine but well on my way to fixing it with this guide!
I reckon it would. The method of adding | Option "CalibrationMatrix" "etc etc " | that you see me doing at 6:38 is a very common method of rotating touch and screen for these kind of displays.
@@Core-Electronics Thanks for the response!
Already had fixed the issue and it works perfectly now
@@xIsouLcruSHca bro how to fix please tell me the trick I have 7inch display cursor problem on raspberry pi os kindly help to me
