It is fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi models (including Pi 4 and Pi 5) running Raspberry Pi OS, where touch drivers are pre-installed. It also works with Windows, Mac, and Linux computers without additional drivers. For PS4, HDMI video is supported, but touch input is not functional due to lack of driver support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect the included HDMI cable for video and the USB cable for both power and touch input. For Raspberry Pi, you can power the display from the Pi's USB port, but ensure your Pi's power supply provides ample current (at least 2.5A) to avoid instability. If using an external USB power source, a standard 5V\/1A adapter works; a 2A adapter is recommended for maximum brightness. No GPIO connections are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
