Compact 3.5-inch HDMI Touch Display for Portable Raspberry Pi Builds

The 3.5inch Resistive Touch Screen LCD is a small HDMI display made for Raspberry Pi, mini PCs, and compact embedded builds. It gives you a crisp 480×320 IPS panel in a space-saving format that works well for handheld tools, status screens, and portable control panels.

This model uses resistive touch over SPI, so it is a good fit when you want a simple touch interface in a compact footprint. It also includes OSD controls for brightness and contrast, plus a 3.5mm audio jack for HDMI audio output.

Important: Official Waveshare docs list Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, and Retropie support on Raspberry Pi. When used with a Windows PC, it works as a display, but touch is not supported in the official product notes.
