Waveshare 11.9" HDMI Touch Display | 320x1480 IPS | Ultra-Wide

Waveshare 11.9 inch HDMI Touch Display is an ultra-long 320 x 1480 IPS capacitive touch display designed for narrow dashboard, signage, and embedded interface applications. Based on official Waveshare materials, this 11.9inch HDMI LCD uses a portrait-oriented bar screen by default, combines an IPS panel with a toughened glass cover, and supports 5-point capacitive touch through USB.

The key value of this product is its unusual aspect ratio. Instead of behaving like a standard desktop monitor, it is much better suited to side dashboards, smart shelf displays, room signage, queue information panels, machine-side status strips, and Raspberry Pi projects that need a narrow but high-impact visual layout. It also supports standard HDMI input, making it easy to integrate with Raspberry Pi, PCs, mini PCs, and other HDMI hosts.

Other Content

The 11.9 inch HDMI LCD is best understood as a specialty format display rather than a generic monitor. The official Waveshare guide emphasizes its narrow shape, touch support, and Raspberry Pi compatibility, which makes it especially useful for dashboards and side-panel style interfaces where a conventional landscape monitor would waste space.

The official guide also notes that the display is portrait by default. If your project needs a landscape layout, you can rotate the screen in software. This is important when designing Raspberry Pi, Windows, or embedded Linux interfaces around the display's native 320 x 1480 resolution.

FAQ

What makes this display different from a standard HDMI monitor?

Its 320 x 1480 ultra-long layout is optimized for narrow dashboards, side panels, shelf displays, signage, and embedded HMI instead of general-purpose desktop viewing.

Is this a touch display?

Yes. Official Waveshare materials list 5-point capacitive touch with a USB touch interface.

Does it work with Raspberry Pi?

Yes. Waveshare documents support for Raspberry Pi OS, and also provides guidance for Ubuntu, Kali, and Windows 10 IoT use on Raspberry Pi.

Can the display be used in landscape mode?

Yes. The display is portrait by default, but the official Waveshare guide includes software configuration guidance for rotation when a landscape layout is needed.

Does it include audio output?

Yes. The display provides a 3.5mm audio jack for HDMI audio output scenarios.
