Which larger touchscreen?

Post by KA5BBC » Wed Apr 08, 2020 4:15 pm

Is it recommended that we stick with the Raspberry Pi official 7' Touchscreen, the Waveshare, or will any of the third party larger screens work just as well?

I ask as my eyesight is deteriorating and I have seen options up to 13.3"

My thanks in advance.

Hi

The largest screen that is supported is the 7 inch screen. Larger screens connect to HDMI and use different (USB) touch drivers, neither of which are supported by the Portsdown.

Thanks for the response Dave.

I may just use a fresnel lens in front, maybe making it a steampunk themed case (just a thought at this stage)
