10.1 tft lcd display 1280x800 hdmi price

Sound support means, it is possible for the game console to output sound signal via LCD embedded speaker, external speaker interface, or earphone jack.

This touchable 10.1-inch IPS LCD monitor has a high resolution of 1280x800 pixels, metal housing, and supports wall mounting. Its two speakers greatly enhance the listening experience. It is compatible with Raspberry Pi, Windows, Linux and other systems, and can also be connected to Switch, PS4, etc. The IPS display is widely used in industrial automation, smart computers, security, video microscopy, monitoring systems, smart retail, etc.

This 10.1 inch high-resolution 1280x800 IPS display is especially designed as a monitor for Lattepanda(which could be used as windows 10 development board), Raspberry Pi and other mini PC. The HDMI/VGA/AV interfaces ensure its wide compatibility. Making a digital photo frame, playing a video, adding a face for your robot, you can expand your imagination, make more fun.

The mentioned product is a IPS (In-Plane Switching) display with a screen resolution of 1280×800 pixels [1].It has a contrast ratio of 800:1 and a brightness of 350 cd/m^2 [1].

In terms of dimensions, the whole display has 230×149 mm, with an actual screen area of 217×135 mm [1], which means most of the display area is occupied by the actual screen.

In terms of input signal interfaces, the device supports AV, VGA and HDMI (version 1.2) [1], which means we can directly connect the Raspberry Pi to it without the need to any additional converter.

Note however that the LCD needs to be connected to a controller board, which is already included in the whole product package. We will check more on the controller board below.

If you already have some transformer that can output a voltage in this range, you can use it as long as you confirm that its polarity is the same as the one the LCD uses. Additionally, you need to make sure that it can support enough current draw to power the LCD, which can only be determined by testing since the documentation of the device doesn’t state its current draw. Taking into account these factors, my recommendation is to use the power supply wall adapter recommended by the seller, to avoid damaging the LCD.

The display was tested on a Raspberry Pi 3 model B+. Nonetheless, since it has standard video input interfaces, it should be usable with other versions of the Raspberry Pi and even with other boards. One such example are the powerful LattePanda boards, which are also mentioned as supported on the product page of the display.

Additionally, the controller board is connected to another small PCB which contains some keys that are used to control the LCD (the left connection). This PCB is shown below at figure 3.

The power supply is also connected to the LCD controller board, which is responsible to supply the display. We also connect the Raspberry (or the other device used) to this board using one of the 3 available interfaces (HDMI, AV or VGA).

It’s important to mention that the display and the keys PCB board already have cables with interfaces ready to connect to the controller board, which means that no soldering is required and the connections are simple.

What needs special attention are the display connections since they have less connectors than the pins of the controller board. So we need to put them in the correct positions, as indicated in figure 4.

As already mentioned, the controller board is connected to a smaller PCB which contains some keys to control the LCD. These keys basically correspond to the typical interface many monitors have, with a couple of buttons to turn it on, off or control parameters such as brightness.

So basically, for this LCD, we have a button to turn on and off the display. The LED present on that board changes between red and green, depending if the display is off or on, respectively.

Then, we have a menu button that, when clicked, opens an interface like the one shown on figure 6, which allows to adjust some parameters of the display.

Finally, we have a button that allows to change between the supported input interfaces. If, after connecting your device to the display you get a “No signal” message, then most likely you need to click that button to change the input interface to the correct one.

The analyzed display is a nice addition to be used with a Raspberry Pi. It is a compact solution that can even be used with other mini computers similar to the Raspberry Pi. Even though it requires some additional connections other than the HDMI one, it should be easy enough to get started.
