What display are you using with your RaspberryPi?

[mpvader (Matthijs Vader)]

Hello all!

We are in the middle of making Venus OS compatible with the RaspberryPi 5 as well as making it possible to run gui-v2 / New UI. A long awaited and demanded feature.

To continue forward, it would be good to know which types of displays are used most often. Please reply saying which one you use.

• [A] RaspberryPi Touch Display
• [B] Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2, either the 7” or the recently released 5”
• [C] Using Kwindrem his GitHub - kwindrem/RpiDisplaySetup: Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreen for Venus OS (also HDMI) package?
• [D] Any others? And did you then modify config.txt or add different required dtbo files?

thanks, Matthijs

In my opinion, with the introduction of the Android GX Wi-Fi Display app, there’s little reason to continue using wired displays, whether for the Cerbo or the Raspberry Pi. At least, this holds true for stationary installations.

I’ve always run mine headless, couldn’t see the point of adding a screen when access is so easy over the local network or via VRM.

To offer you an actual answer to your question: C

I’m currently using option C with a small waveshare display (Display port, not HDMI) and Pi 4. Wifi option requires a network which I don’t have in a mobile application. Glad this is being worked on.

On RPi 3B+ starting from Venus OS 3.30 - only headless.

For initial setup - old 19” Samsung monitor with HDMI input. No modifications in files, just need it to be readable.
