OSOYOO 3.5-inch HDMI Capacitive Touch Screen for Pi

OSOYOO 3.5-inch HDMI capacitive touch screen is a compact, plug-and-play display that adds multi-touch control to Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi models, and HDMI-equipped PCs.

This lightweight 3.5" TFT monitor combines a high-resolution color panel with capacitive multi-touch for responsive finger input, and ships as a complete kit with USB and HDMI adapters for quick connection. It supports mainstream operating systems (Windows 7–11, macOS, Linux variants, Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, RetroPie) without requiring extra drivers for touch, making it practical for prototypes, portable builds, and small-screen applications.

How easy is it to set up with Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano?

Setup is straightforward — connect HDMI (or micro-HDMI) to your board, plug the USB cable for touch, and the display generally works without installing drivers. Raspberry Pi OS may limit to single-point touch, but Windows and many Linux desktops support full multi-touch out of the box.

• Included cables: USB touch cable, micro HDMI→HDMI, micro HDMI→micro HDMI.
• Works with Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi 5/4/3B/3B+/2 and similar SBCs.
• No-touch-driver install needed for most modern systems.
• Power supplied via the connected host or external supply depending on host capability.

What touch and display performance should I expect?

The capacitive glass panel provides quick finger response and multi-touch gestures on supported platforms, with a crisp TFT color image suitable for GUI projects, media previews, and small dashboards. Touch sensitivity is tuned for finger input rather than stylus-specific use.

• Capacitive multi-touch technology for natural gestures on compatible systems.
• High-contrast TFT color output for clear text and icons at 3.5" size.
• Faster response time compared with resistive alternatives.
• Best for close-up viewing and portable interfaces, not long-distance display.
