# The Adafruit HDMI Display Monitor ÜBERGUIDE ## Overview ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/019/180/medium800/lcds___displays_1287-00.jpg?1409081383) 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://www.adafruit.com/category/63) 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!** # The Adafruit HDMI Display Monitor ÜBERGUIDE ## Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 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! ### 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! ### 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! ### 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 You can also try - Power - Menu - + - + - Menu - Menu - - - Menu ### Use  **raspi-config** to force audio out the 3.5mm audio jack (rather than HDMI or auto). If you still have issues, edit **/boot/config.txt**  and add or un-comment this line: **hdmi\_drive=2** # The Adafruit HDMI Display Monitor ÜBERGUIDE ## 1928 - 5" Display w/Mini Driver - 800x480 ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/019/223/medium800/lcds___displays_1928_iso_lit_display_01_ORIG.jpg?1409162055) This is our smallest HDMI-compatible displays, works great and is very small!

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](../../../../HDMI-UBERGUIDE/2660H)** **[RTD2660H HDMI/VGA/NTSC/PAL Driver Board without Audio](../../../../HDMI-UBERGUIDE/TD2660H)** **[RTD2668 HDMI/VGA/NTSC/PAL Driver Board with Audio](../../../../HDMI-UBERGUIDE/TD2668)** Certain HDMI displays have driver boards that we have no information on. They are as follows: [PID 1667 - 7" Display 1280x800 IPS + Speakers](1667-7-display-1280x800-ips-plus-speakers-driver-board) # The Adafruit HDMI Display Monitor ÜBERGUIDE ## Keyboard Each HDMI display, with the exception of PID 1033 and PID 1667, comes with the same 4-button keypad. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/019/104/medium800/lcds___displays_Startupbuttons_LRG.jpg?1408987481) [Datasheet](http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/PCB800023%20Keyboard.pdf)# The Adafruit HDMI Display Monitor ÜBERGUIDE ## 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](../../../../hdmi-uberguide/mini-rtd2660-hdmi-vga-ntsc-pal-driver-board) 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 Danger: 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 ``` max_usb_current=1 ``` 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 ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/018/720/medium800/lcds___displays_minniedriver.jpg?1407531576) 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 [Datasheet with dimensions and other specifiations](http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/PCB800168.pdf) # Menu Options Each driver board comes with a few menus of customizable settings.  We go through each below, with some helpful pictures, to show you what you're able to easily control! ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/019/101/medium800/lcds___displays_MENU_LRG.jpg?1408986400) The keypad buttons help you navigate the display menus and sub-menus.

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 1.66 so 1280x720 would look stretched out (1.77 ratio) but 1280x768 would probably look OK (1.66 ratio) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/018/714/medium800/lcds___displays_boardwodriver.jpg?1407519297) 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](http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/PCB800099.pdf) 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).

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://www.adafruit.com/product/1314) [Or use this ready-to-go stereo speaker set, you can just plug the connector in directly!](https://www.adafruit.com/products/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.
