Hardware Connection

Powered by Raspberry Pi's USB port

1.Use a USB Type-C cable to connect from the display's Type-C port to the Raspberry Pi's USB port
2.Use an HDMI cable to connect from the display's HDMI port to the Raspberry Pi's HDMI port
The installation effect is as follows:

Power Supply via Official Adapter

1.Use a 5V 3A power supply to power the display's Type-C port
2.Use an HDMI cable to connect from the display's HDMI port to the Raspberry Pi's HDMI port
The installation effect is as follows:

Power Supply Instructions

The Raspberry Pi Monitor draws power from a 5V USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) power source. Many USB-C power supplies, including the official power supplies for the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5, support this standard.

When using a power source that provides at least 1.5A of current over USB-PD, the Monitor operates in Full Power mode. In Full Power mode, you can use the full range (0%-100%) of display brightness and speaker volume.

When using a power source that does not supply at least 1.5A of current over USB-PD (including all USB-A power sources), the Monitor operates in Power Saving mode. Power Saving mode limits the maximum display brightness and the maximum speaker volume to ensure reliable operation. In Power Saving mode, you can use a limited range (0-50%) of display brightness and a limited range (0-60%) of speaker volume. When powered from a Raspberry Pi, the Monitor operates in Power Saving mode, since Raspberry Pi devices cannot provide 1.5A of current over a USB-A connection.

If the Monitor flashes on and off, your USB power supply is not capable of providing sufficient current to power the monitor. This can happen if you power the Monitor from a Raspberry Pi 5 or Pi 500 which is itself powered by a 5V/3A power supply. Try the following fixes to stop the Monitor from flashing on and off:

1.reduce the display brightness and volume (you may have to connect your monitor to another power supply to access the settings)
2.switch to a different power source or cable

Software Setup

Firmware Burning

Supports Raspberry Pi's Raspberry Pi OS / Ubuntu / Kali and Retropie systems.
When the LCD is used with these Raspberry Pi systems, you must manually set the resolution; otherwise, it may result in incorrect display resolution, affecting the experience.
If the system has a built-in KMS driver that automatically recognizes the resolution, this step can be skipped.

1.Connect the TF card to the PC ,download and use Raspberry Pi Imager to burn the corresponding system image. Raspberry-Pi-Monitor-details-1.png
2.After the firmware burning is complete, insert the TF card into the Raspberry Pi, power up the Raspberry Pi, and after a few seconds of normal waiting, it should enter display. After the system starts, it can display normally.

Screen Sleep

To put the screen to sleep, run the following command in the Raspberry Pi terminal:

xset dpms force off

Note: This command is only applicable to Bullseye and Buster systems.

OSD Menu Introduction

Control

The back of the display has the following controls:
Raspberry Pi Monitor OSD 1.png

  • Power button to enter and exit standby mode (indicated by the power symbol Rpi monitor power sym.png)
  • Buttons to increase and decrease display brightness (indicated by the sun symbol 🔆), to switch from power-saving mode to full power mode, please hold the brightness increase button for 3 seconds.
  • Buttons to increase and decrease speaker volume (indicated by the speaker symbol 🔈)

On screen display messages

The on-screen display (OSD) may show the following messages:

Message Description
Rpi monitor no hdmi.png No HDMI signal detected.
Rpi monitor no valid hdmi signal standby.png The monitor will soon enter standby mode to conserve power.
Rpi monitor not supported resolution.png The output display resolution of the connected device is not supported.
Rpi monitor power saving mode.png The monitor is operating in Power Saving mode, with reduced brightness and volume, because the monitor is not connected to a power supply capable of delivering 1.5A of current or greater.

Additionally, the OSD shows information about display brightness changes using the 🔆 (sun) symbol, and speaker volume level changes using the 🔈 (speaker) symbol. Both brightness and volume use a scale that ranges from 0 to 100.

If you attempt to exit Standby mode when the display cannot detect an HDMI signal, the red LED beneath the Standby button will briefly light, but the display will remain in Standby mode.

Position the Monitor

Use the following approaches to position the Monitor:
1.Angle the Monitor on the integrated stand.
2.Mount the Monitor on an arm or stand using the four VESA mount holes on the back of the red rear plastic housing.Use spacers to ensure adequate space for display and power cable egress.
3.Flip the integrated stand fully upwards, towards the top of the monitor. Use the drill hole template to create two mounting points spaced 55mm apart. Hang the Monitor using the slots on the back of the integrated stand.As illustrated below:
