Overview
At the Adafruit store, we've added a ton of great new HDMI-compatible displays for your Raspberry Pi or anything else
with HDMI/VGA/Composite video output. But, like we said, we've added a ton and so it can be a little overwhelming
trying to find the perfect display for your project.
Don't fret! There's now an ÜBERGUIDE to Adafruit's LCDs & Displays (https://adafru.it/eul) category.
There's a lot and we'll go through each PID with details about what you get with each screen, but here's some basic
guidelines:
There's two essential elements to each display: resolution and size
If the size is the same between two displays, say 7" diagonal - you'll pay more for higher resolution
If the resolution is the same between two displays, say 1280x800 pixels - you'll tend to pay more for smaller size
(since the pixel density increases, which is harder to manufacture)
You'll pay more for more inputs - a VGA/NTSC/PAL/HDMI driver costs more than just an HDMI driver.
Some displays can be paired with an HDMI+Audio driver. This lets you have both video and audio over one
cable, but adds a little cost.
IPS (In-Plane-Switching) looks amazing, and gives the screens a great look and wide viewing angle, but adds
some cost.
All our screens have been tested with a Windows desktop computer (we run Win7 but it should not matter which
version). You can also use these displays with a Mac and even a console like an XBox (you'll want the higher
resolution displays for this, 1280x800 is best).
The displays have also been tested with a Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) and Beagle Bone Black. For Raspberry Pi, you'll get
the best performance with a customized /boot/config.txt You can edit this file by sticking the SD card into any
computer and editing config.txt with a text editor

We've tried to find a match that fits every need and budget but will keep on adding more as the demand arises.
There's also an FAQ page for questions that have come up and some more info on how to set up your driver board.
To ze ÜBERGUIDE!

Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions
Do the displays have 'snow' or a lighter-image if the signal weakens?
Nope! All of our displays have pure-digital input decoders. They're not suitable for FPV displays where you want the
display to go fuzzy instead of cut out.
If you power cycle the display does it turn back automatically or does it need to be switched on each time via the
power button?
All of the displays auto-turn on when power is applied. It goes to whatever was last selected so you have to set it up
once then every time its power cycled it will come up automatically.
How come I hear a ticking noise when I shake my display?
Please note that there might be a 'rattle' when shaking this display, due a small piece of non-conductive plastic that
gets pushed into the enclosure during assembly. It's not harmful to the display or affect performance
Which displays are good for use with older arcade/computing devices with 4:3 ratio?
The RTD2660H based drivers have a 4:3 ratio mode that will squish the display down to 4:3, which some people
with older devices seem to need! We have not actually tested it but have heard reports it works well
The RTD2668 based drivers (HDMI+Audio)
say
they have a 4:3 mode but when you try to switch it over, nothing
happens to the display so we don't think it really works!
What happens if I can't output the native resolution from my device?
The HDMI drivers all have an 'EDID' that tells the computer/HDMI host what resolution it prefers (the native
resolution)
You may need to manually set this resolution on some computers, the Raspberry Pi for example does best if you
'force' it using the config.txt which is included on the page for each display
You can send a higher or lower resolution image and the HDMI driver will automatically scale it down or up.
However it wont look as good because of the scaling! For the best look, especially crisp text, use the native rez!
How do I set the resolution in the monitor/display?
You can't! Resolution for HDMI/VGA/Composite is always set by the video emitter. If the resolution isn't right on the
monitor, go to your computer/console system prefs!
Eeek I set the RTD2660H-based driver into a bad mode and now I can't see anything!
First, make sure it is powered and connect HDMI to your computer, make sure you see the LED is green which
means it is getting good HDMI signal! press S5 and wait 5 seconds after pressing, to switch from HDMI to VGA to
AV1 to AV2 and back to HDMI
then press these buttons, wait about 1 second between presses!
S2 S3 S3 S2 S2 S3 S2
where S1 is the switch closest to the green LED, S5 is the farthest from the green LED
I'm getting vertical line(s) when the display is connected to a Raspberry Pi.
Use raspi-config to force audio out the 3.5mm audio jack (rather than HDMI or auto).

1928 - 5" Display w/Mini Driver - 800x480
This is our smallest HDMI-compatible displays, works great and is very small! We also have this display with a
VGA/NTSC/PAL/HDMI driver (#1678)
You can power it from a USB port, which is rather nice for portable setups!
Since the display is not in a case, you may want a wire monitor stand. It’s a simple way to prop up the
screen! (http://adafru.it/1679)
Powering from USB
You *can* power this from the USB port of a Raspberry Pi Model B+ or A+ if you turn on high current USB capability
To let the Pi A+/B+ drive a display power over USB, first make sure you have a 2A power supply, with a good quality
USB cable, a thin wire power cable is no good. Make sure its 24AWG or smaller, shorter USB cables are better too.
Then add
to /boot/config.txt
If you're getting wierd reboots, its likely the power supply and/or power USB cable is not good enough. A powered
hub will also solve this problem

Drivers
We carry a number of different drivers for our HDMI screens. Each has different specs, look, and inputs. We've outlined
each below with a picture and datasheet as well as the power needed to drive the board.
We currently carry displays with the following boards:
RTD2660H Mini Driver Board - HDMI INput only, TTL displays only (https://adafru.it/Cdp)
RTD2660H HDMI/VGA/NTSC/PAL Driver Board without Audio (https://adafru.it/dT4)
RTD2668 HDMI/VGA/NTSC/PAL Driver Board with Audio (https://adafru.it/dT5)
Certain HDMI displays have driver boards that we have no information on. They are as follows:
PID 1667 - 7" Display 1280x800 IPS + Speakers (https://adafru.it/Cdq)
© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/hdmi-uberguide Page 62 of 88
Mini RTD2660H HDMI Driver Board
This is our most compact and least expensive driver board. It only has an HDMI input and doesn't have audio.
This driver has a scaler built in. That means you can use it to drive an 800x480 display but set the computer to output
1280x800 and it will scale the display down. However, the image will be stretched out (distorted) if the aspect ratio of
the scaler doesn't match up. For example, if you have an 800x480 display, the aspect ratio is 1.6 so 1280x720 would
look stretched out (1.77 ratio) but 1280x800 would probably look OK (1.66 ratio)
It's the same chipset (RTD2660H) as the larger HDMI/VGA/NTSC/PAL driver, so the interface and functionality is the
same (https://adafru.it/Cds)
As it is TTL only, not LVDS, we only have it for our smaller low-resolution screens. Basically, 1024x600 or smaller
screens
The nice thing about this driver is it is compact, simple, and can be powered directly from a USB port, the power
requirement is basically 5V @ 500mA
To let the Pi A+/B+ drive a display power over USB, first make sure you have a 2A power supply, with a good quality
USB cable, a thin wire power cable is no good. Make sure its 24AWG or smaller, shorter USB cables are better too.
Then add
to /boot/config.txt
If you're getting wierd reboots, its likely the power supply and/or power USB cable is not good enough. A powered
hub will also solve this problem
You *can* power this from the USB port of a Raspberry Pi Model B+ or A+ if you turn on high current USB
capability
max_usb_current=1

The PROG JST connect is generally for factory use only. It's the port we use to program the board before sending it to
you
All JST connectors are JST-XH type, 2.5mm pitch.
Power input: 5v USB - current draw depends on the display size a bit, but is basically ~500mA

RTD2660H HDMI/VGA/NTSC/PAL Driver Board
This is our 'workhorse' display driver board. It has multiple inputs and works well with both TTL and LVDS screens. It
does not, however, have an audio output.
This driver has a scaler built in. That means you can use it to drive an 800x480 display but set the computer to output
1280x800 and it will scale the display down. However, the image will be stretched out (distorted) if the aspect ratio of
the scaler doesn't match up. For example, if you have an 800x480 display, the aspect ratio is 1.6 so 1280x720 would
look stretched out (1.77 ratio) but 1280x800 would probably look OK (1.66 ratio)
The VGA, Power and A/V inputs, the white JST ports are good alternatives to the main inputs if you don't want bulky
cables coming out the sides of your driver board.
All the white JST connectors are JST-XH type, 2.5mm pitch.
Power Input: In theory, the board datasheet says 5-24V but we found that 9-12V DC works best. There's a switching
regulator so current draw will be
lower
when using higher voltages, and vice versa.
Datasheet (https://adafru.it/dTS) with diagrams
On some of the driver boards, there is an inverting transistor package that is now placed as a resistor (and signal
inverted in software). While it's not the most aesthetic solution, the design is fine and these boards are tested and
work!

RTD2668 Driver Board w/ Audio
This is our fanciest driver board. It's best for supporting high resolutions, has multiple inputs, and can support HDMI
audio! That means you can have a full A/V system with only one data cable. There's a stereo amplifier onboard that
can driver 4 ohm speakers directly
You can solder 3W 4 ohm speakers directly to the amp, like this one. (https://adafru.it/dU0)
Or use this ready-to-go stereo speaker set, you can just plug the connector in directly! (http://adafru.it/1669)
Audio quality and video resolution
We're not 100% sure of this but it seems like the amount of sound data you can transfer is related to the set HDMI
resolution.
Since this driver has a built in video
scaler
you can display 1280x800 video on a 800x480 display, it'll just be smaller.
We noticed that many operating systems/programs try to push high quality (44.1khz 24 bit) audio and it'll stutter if the
resolution is set to something like 800x480
So, if you can set the audio quality in your OS, set it to 44.1KHz 16bit or 22.1KHz 16bit or you can just set the resolution
of the screen to like 1280x800 or 1280x720 type size. On a Raspberry Pi, resolution is set in /boot/config.txt, on
windows, right click on the background and select Screen Resolution from the menu
The Power, VGA and A/V JST ports are good alternatives to the main inputs if you don't want bulky cables coming out
the sides of your driver board.
