Raspberry Pi’s new official touchscreen display is just 5 inches
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released a new official 5-inch touchscreen display for the Raspberry Pi platform. The display features a 1280x720 resolution, 5-point multitouch capability, and direct power from the Pi's GPIO, ensuring it doesn't occupy a USB port. The new 5-inch display shares similar specifications to the existing 7-inch model, which has been available for a decade. While the viewing angle is limited to 80 degrees and the bezel is relatively thick, the display is well-suited for small projects, standalone controllers, or desktop gadgets. The article suggests that the display could be a good option for users looking to set up a RetroPie system, but cautions that the small screen size may present challenges for certain gaming experiences.
