Our take on the Waveshare 3.5 inch HDMI Capacitive Touch IPS LCD Display (E)

The Waveshare 3.5-inch (E) is a small IPS LCD panel with a 640x480 hardware resolution and 5-point capacitive touch behind a 6H tempered glass cover. It takes HDMI for video and offers either USB Type-C or I2C for touch, so it works as a Raspberry Pi display, a Tinker Board 2 screen, a Jetson Nano monitor under Ubuntu, or a secondary monitor on Windows. A 3.5mm audio jack and speaker header carry HDMI audio. It suits makers building compact dashboards, retro consoles and panel-mount projects who want a glass touch surface rather than the resistive film panels common at this size. The trade-off is the low 640x480 resolution and the setup work: touch calibration and driver configuration are part of the job, and the panel is small for desktop use.

Questions and answers

Does it work with a Raspberry Pi out of the box?
It supports Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali and Retropie, but you configure the display and touch drivers yourself. Expect to edit config files and calibrate touch.
How is touch connected?
There are two onboard touch circuits: USB Type-C or I2C. USB is the simpler path; I2C saves a port but needs wiring and configuration.
Can I use it as a normal PC monitor?
Yes, over HDMI on Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7. At 640x480 it works best as a secondary screen for widgets or control panels.
Does it have sound?
It has a 3.5mm audio jack and a speaker interface, and passes HDMI audio through. You supply your own speakers.
Is the resolution good enough for reading text?
At 640x480 on 3.5 inches, small text is tight. It suits dashboards, terminals and games more than document or web browsing.
What boards does it support besides Raspberry Pi?
Tinker Board 2 with Android or Debian, and Jetson Nano with Ubuntu. Other HDMI sources work as a plain monitor.
