Got a Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, or other mini-computer project that needs a compact display? This ELECROW 5-inch touchscreen is a popular and reliable choice. It has a clear 800x480 resolution TFT LCD and uses a resistive touch panel (comes with a stylus) that works with gloves or any stylus – great for industrial or dusty environments.\n\nConnecting it is flexible: use the GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi for both power and touch function (with a driver install), or use the mini HDMI port to connect it as a simple monitor to anything with HDMI output (like a PC). Note: The touch function only works with certain OSes like Raspbian and Ubuntu on the Pi.\n\nIt includes a backlight switch to save power, copper standoffs for mounting, and all necessary cables. There's a bit of setup involved, especially for getting the touchscreen drivers working on a Pi, but there's plenty of online support. It's perfect for building a portable Pi laptop, a 3D printer interface, a car PC dashboard, or any DIY project needing a small, interactive screen.
