The 5 inch HDMI Monitor for Raspberry Pi display is commonly used with Pi as a display unit. It comes with driver CD, mounting screws and stylus making it easy to interface with pi and provide a professional look.
The 5 inch Raspberry Pi Screen has a resolution of 800x480 and works on 5V consuming about 235mA with the backlight on. The display signal is given through standard HDMI while the touchscreen works with SPI communication. Apart from Pi, the display can be used with any hardware like computers or tablets that support HDMI.
