This version comes in 1024x600 instead of the more expensive 1280x800 display. It's also not
IPS so it's not good for wide-angle visibility.
There's a little wired PCB with little buttons that let you enter a menu system for adjusting
brightness, color and contrast. It tries to auto-detect which input you have and switches to that
one or you can 'select' from the menu which to display.
To demonstrate it, we took some photos with the display connected to a Raspberry Pi, but it will
also work connected to any device with HDMI, VGA or NTSC/PAL output. It will not work with a
device that only outputs DVI (without a DVI to HDMI converter) or SECAM.
For use with a Raspberry Pi we suggest editing config.txt to set the HDMI to the native
1024x600 in case it doesn't detect the resolution properly. You can see our suggested config.txt
in the Technical details tab. The easiest way to edit the config.txt is to put the Pi SD card into an
every day computer and edit config.txt with any text editor and save.
For use with a BeagleBone Black running Ubuntu/Debian, we found it works when plugged in,
no configuration required.
A power adapter is NOT included. You will need to either purchase a 5-12VDC adapter or you
can use one you've already got around the house. We show the display on a bent wire stand
which is not included, but you can pick one up here.
