Hosyond 5 Inch IPS Capacitive Touch HDMI Monitor 800×480

Hosyond's 5-inch IPS capacitive touch HDMI display is a ready-to-use 800×480 touchscreen monitor designed for Raspberry Pi, single-board computers, and as a compact secondary HDMI screen.

This compact panel combines an IPS 800×480 resolution with capacitive touch responsiveness and plug-and-play HDMI compatibility. It draws power from a micro USB supply, includes an analogue 3.5mm audio jack, and features an on-screen display (OSD) for contrast, brightness and color adjustments. Because no special drivers are required, you can attach it to a Raspberry Pi, BB Black, Banana Pi, Windows or Linux mini PC and start interacting with the UI immediately.

How easy is it to set up with a Raspberry Pi?

Setup is intentionally straightforward: connect the HDMI cable for video, supply power via micro USB, and the Raspberry Pi will detect the monitor without additional drivers. Touch input typically works out of the box on modern Pi OS builds; some configurations may require small calibration steps.

• HDMI video connection for plug-and-play display.
• Micro USB power — no extra power adapters in many Pi projects.
• Capacitive touch recognized by common Raspberry Pi distributions.
• On-screen menu to tweak brightness, contrast and saturation.

What ports and controls are available on the panel?

The monitor includes a full-size HDMI input for video, a micro USB power port, a 3.5mm audio output and a physical power button. An integrated OSD menu gives quick access to picture settings and allows the display to be turned off without disconnecting power.

• Full-size HDMI for simple video input from PCs and SBCs.
• Micro USB input for 5V power delivery.
• 3.5mm headphone jack for audio monitoring or speakers.
• OSD controls for brightness, contrast, saturation and power toggling.

How does the screen perform for everyday use and projects?

The 5" IPS panel offers stable viewing angles and natural color reproduction for coding, media preview, kiosk UIs and portable consoles. With capacitive touch, it supports multi-touch gestures and responsive taps for GUI-based applications; its 800×480 pixel density balances readability with compact form factor.

• IPS technology ensures consistent color and wide viewing angles.
• 800×480 resolution suited for control panels, dashboards, and compact displays.
• Capacitive touch for responsive interaction in UIs and demos.
• Lightweight footprint for portable and embedded builds.

Who is this for? Makers, developers and compact system designers who need a small, reliable touchscreen display for prototyping, embedded projects or as a portable secondary monitor will find this Hosyond panel especially useful. It’s ideal for Raspberry Pi hobbyists, kiosk builders, retro gaming handheld creators and anyone wanting a driver-free HDMI touchscreen for Windows, Linux and single-board computers.
