Pimoroni Non-Touch – HyperPixel 4.0 - Hi-Res Display for Raspberry Pi

HyperPixel 4.0 is the perfect way to use your Pi without a bunch of cables or a bulky display. Design your own interface to control your project, display data, or turn your Pi into a tiny media center.

This new version of HyperPixel has a gorgeous IPS display, with wide viewing angles and the alternate I2C interface is broken out for advanced users.

Features

• High-speed DPI interface
• 4.0" IPS (wide viewing angle, 160°) display (86.4x51.8mm)
• 800x480 pixels (~235 PPI)
• 18-bit colour (262,144 colours)
• 60 FPS frame rate
• Contrast ratio: 500:1
• 40-pin female header included to boost height for Pi B+, 2, 3, 3B+ and 4
• Standoffs included to securely attach to your Pi
• Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models
• One-line installer
• Dimensions: 58.5x97x12mm (WxHxD, depth includes header and display)

HyperPixel uses a high-speed DPI interface, allowing it to shift 5x more pixel data than the usual SPI interface that these small Pi displays use. It has a 60 FPS frame rate and a resolution of approximately 235 pixels per inch (800x480) on its 4.0" display. The display can show 18-bits of colour (262,144 colours).

Everything comes fully-assembled, and there's no soldering required! The display is securely stuck down to the HyperPixel 4.0 PCB and connected via a neat little flush-mounting FPC cable. Just pop HyperPixel 4.0 on your Pi and run our installer to get everything set up!

Please note: when installing HyperPixel 4.0 onto your Pi make sure not to press down on the screen surface (don't point load it)! Hold the board (the PCB, not the display itself) by its edges and wiggle it to mate with the extended header (or GPIO header). It is best practice to place the screen face down on a folded soft cloth, on a table, and push the Pi GPIO header into the display board header. Likewise, when removing the screen - hold the display down and gently pull the Pi out of the header. These displays are gorgeous, but must be handled with care!

It'll work with any 40-pin version of the Pi, including Pi Zero and Pi Zero W. If you're using it with a larger Pi like the B+, 2, or 3, 3B+, then use the extra 40-pin header that's included to boost it up to the required height. If you're using a Zero or Zero W then just pop it straight onto the GPIO.

The included standoff kit allows you to mount your HyperPixel 4.0 safely and securely to your Pi. Just screw them into the posts on the underside of the HyperPixel 4.0 PCB and then secure with screws through the mounting holes on your Pi.

Software

Pimoroni have put together a one-line-installer to configure your Pi properly for HyperPixel 4.0. Note that you'll need another display, keyboard, and mouse to install the software, or you could do it remotely over SSH if you follow our guide on how to set your Pi up headlessly.

Note: Since Raspberry Pi OS has been split into three branches (Buster 32-bit, Bullseye 32-bit, and Bullseye 64-bit) not every combination of Raspberry Pi and OS can be installed with the one-line-installer. If you are having troubles with a Pi 3B, or Pi Zero see this thread which has steps to manually install the screen.
