  • 5 mm audio jack supports headphone output

Compact IPS Touch Display

The WaveShare 7.9inch portable monitor combines a 400x1280 IPS panel with a 10-point capacitive touch layer behind toughened glass. It targets Raspberry Pi builders, Jetson Nano developers and Windows PC users who need a small secondary screen that works without driver installation across Raspbian, Ubuntu, Kali, WIN10 IoT, Retropie and Windows 10/8.1/8/7.

HDMI and USB Connectivity

Video and audio arrive over HDMI while touch data and power travel through USB, so a single cable run can handle both signals on compatible hosts. A 3.5mm jack passes HDMI audio out to headphones or speakers, and an onboard button lets you rotate the touch mapping to match the screen orientation you choose.

Resolution and Touch Constraints

The 400x1280 pixel grid limits the amount of information visible at once, making dense code or spreadsheet work cramped. Five-point touch is only guaranteed on Raspberry Pi and Windows 10/8.1/8/7; other supported Linux distributions fall back to single-point input, so multi-finger gestures cannot be relied on everywhere.
