Why Choose This Display?
- Quick integration with Raspberry Pi projects and prototyping environments.

Product Note:
*For applications where the controller will be shut down or reset, an additional connection to the reset (RST) pin on the J3 header is required, and must be toggled during boot-up.
**In some versions of Raspbian, the creators have inverted the display which can cause the touch screen to not track the same with the image. To fix this, add lcd_rotate = 2 to the config.txt
**In some versions of Raspberry Pi OS, the default boot config uses an unsupported dt-overlay which will prevent this display from working correctly. To fix this, find and change dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d in config.txt
