<p dir="auto">This is the almost same product I purchased but from a different seller.  There could be a no-touch version or without a case or even without a controller.  (If you select touch-version, you have to check the compatible controller).  Anyway, hundreds of sellers are selling these items, so you need to invest time to find a best price.</p>
<p dir="auto">1920X480  HSD088IPW1 might be the only panel that has this size. Usually, it seems to be able to be <strong>powered from RPI4 USB3 directly without an external power source.</strong> A bigger panel wouldn’t. That’s why I chose this.</p>
<p dir="auto">Some LCD cased versions might have holes to fasten RPI on the backside.</p>
<p dir="auto">Additionally, you need some accessories;</p>
<ul>
<li><code>mini HDMI(Controller) - micro HDMI(RPI4) Cable</code>. (I recommend angled plug with ribbon cable)</li>
<li><code>USB 3(RPI4) - micro USB(Controller) Cable</code>. (angled plug too.)</li>
<li>Of course, an RPI4 power source be needed. (LCD will drain the power so I recommend the original RPI4 power adapter or equivalent.)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">To use with RPI, you need some modification.</p>
<ul>
<li>You might need to set a screen resolution profile.  Default screen direction and resolution was 480x1920 vertical. So I need to find a way to rotate it.<br />
I cannot remember what I’ve tried at this moment. :) (many trials and fails ^^) Anyway you can google it, I believe. <a href="https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/117084/how-to-configure-a-non-regular-display-1920x480-cet-for-pi3-and-pi4-running-ra" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">link</a> might be the one of them. Or, in RPI4, Just screen setting menu would be enough. (I cannot remember what I’ve done.)</li>
<li>(on touch version) After the success of the screen rotation, I bumped to another issue, the touchscreen coordination is not rotated. But I cannot find a way, so…<br />
I just rotated my MM screen itself instead of above screen rotation &amp; touch-coord rotation.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">That’s all.</p>

Is the display directly connected to the Pi or does it need some kind of controller?<br />
Could you share the link to aliexpress item?<br />
Thanks in advance</p>
