Features
- 5-inch capacitive touch screen with a hardware resolution of 800 × 480.
- 5-point capacitive touch control, tempered glass panel, hardness up to 6H.
- When works with Raspberry Pi, supports Raspberry Pi OS/Ubuntu/Kali and Retropie systems.
- When working as a computer monitor, supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, 10-point touch.
- Support backlight control, more power saving.
Working with PC
This product supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 OS.
- 1. Turn on the backlight switch on the back of the LCD.
- 2. Connect the TOUCH interface of the LCD to the USB interface of the PC. Wait for a while, the windows will automatically recognize the touch function.
- 3. Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI port of the PC. About 10s later, you can see the LCD display properly.
Note:
- 1) When the computer is connected to several different displays at the same time, only this LCD can be used to control the cursor on the main display, so we recommend setting this LCD as the main display.
- 2) Some of the PCs cannot support the HDMI screen Hot Plug. In this case, restarting the PC can solve.
- 3) Sometimes LCD will flicker because of undersupplying from the USB cable of the PC. You need to connect an external power supply (5V/2A) to the DC port.
Working with Raspberry Pi
This LCD can support Raspberry Pi OS / Ubuntu / Kali / Retropie systems.
Please download the latest version of the image on the Raspberry Pi official website.
1) Download the compressed file to the PC, and unzip it to get the .img file.
2) Connect the TF card to the PC, and use SDFormatter software to format the TF card.
3) Open the Win32DiskImager software, select the system image downloaded in step 1, and click 'Write' to write the system image.
4) After the image has finished writing, open the config.txt file in the root directory of the TF card, add the following code at the end of config.txt, then save and quit the TF card safely.
hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=87 hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0 hdmi_drive=1
You must make sure that there are no spaces on either side of the equal sign.
5) Insert the TF card into the Raspberry Pi.
6) Connect the Touch interface of the LCD to the USB interface of the Raspberry Pi.
7) Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI interface of the Raspberry Pi, power on the Raspberry Pi, and wait for a few seconds until the LCD displays normally.

Software Installation
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/1/18/Evdev-right-click-emulation.zip unzip Evdev-right-click-emulation.zip cd evdev-right-click-emulation sudo apt install build-essential libevdev2 libevdev-dev cd 'evdev-right-click-emulation' sudo cp 'out/evdev-rce' '/usr/local/bin/' sudo chmod +x '/usr/local/bin/evdev-rce'
Enter the command:
sudo evdev-rce
After running, you can touch and long press to realize the right-click function.
Set IP
sudo usermod -G 'input' -a pi echo 'uinput' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-uinput.rules
Add in 99-uinput.rules file.
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="input"
save it and run it in the terminal.
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules sudo udevadm trigger
Then reboot:
sudo reboot
Run after reboot (no sudo needed at this point).
evdev-rce
After running, you can touch and long press to realize the right-click function.
Set Startup
Enter the terminal:

When the Raspberry Pi is powered by a 5V 2A power adapter and connects to a 5-inch HDMI LCD (H), it doesn’t require an external power supply by default. However, if the user uses the Raspberry Pi to drive other high-power devices at the same time, the USB interface on the Raspberry Pi may be insufficiently powered, at this time an external power supply is required.

You can try to compile the universal touch driver "hid-multitouch" into the kernel, which generally can make the touch function work.

Depending on the system, if the system has hibernation, the screen will also be black. If it is the official Raspberry Pi system, the default ten minutes or so without action is to have hibernation.

When the Raspberry Pi is powered by a 5V 3A power adapter, no external power supply is required by default. However, if users use Raspberry Pi to drive other high-power peripherals at the same time, it may cause an insufficient power supply to the USB port on Raspberry Pi, and then an external power supply is required.

You can try to compile the generic touch driver "hid-multitouch" into the kernel, usually it can support touch.

Anti-Piracy
Since the first-generation Raspberry Pi released, Waveshare has been working on designing, developing, and producing various fantastic touch LCDs for the Pi. Unfortunately, there are quite a few pirated/knock-off products in the market. They're usually some poor copies of our early hardware revisions, and comes with none support service.
To avoid becoming a victim of pirated products, please pay attention to the following features when purchasing:
