Description

Waveshare 5.5inch 14402560 LCD is a 5.5 inch 2K capacitive touch LCD display with 1440 2560 resolution and HDMI video input. It is designed for Raspberry Pi, CM4, mini PC, and other supported hosts that need a compact, high-resolution touch display for embedded UI, dashboards, control panels, and multimedia projects.

This display combines an IPS panel, capacitive multi-touch, and 6H tempered glass with optical bonding to deliver sharp visuals and reliable interaction in a compact format. It is especially useful when you want a much denser display than standard 800480 or 1024600 screens without moving to a much larger panel size.
