## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=WS-17978:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/WS-17978:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

### A highly versatile, standalone display module designed to provide a crisp, interactive visual interface for single-board computers, custom rigs, and multimedia projects. Featuring a stunning 1920×1080 Full HD IPS panel and a multi-point capacitive touch screen, it delivers a robust out-of-the-box display solution for makers and engineers.

Prototyping custom interfaces or building portable workstations often means wrangling delicate ribbon cables, custom drivers, and fragile screens that are prone to scratching. This display solves those headaches with true driver-free HDMI plug-and-play functionality across multiple operating systems, while its toughened glass overlay protects the delicate LCD panel from the rigours of the workshop, rapid prototyping, and continuous touchscreen use.

### Key Features

- **Deploy immediately with driver-free setup:** Simply connect the HDMI and USB cables to enjoy instant functionality on Raspberry Pi OS, Windows (11/10/8.1/8/7), Ubuntu, Kali, and even popular game consoles.
- **Withstand daily workshop use and kiosk environments:** The ultra-tough 6H hardness toughened glass cover safeguards your display against accidental impacts, abrasive dust, and scratches.
- **Experience true colour accuracy and clarity from any perspective:** The premium IPS panel ensures consistent image reproduction without washing out, boasting a 178° viewing angle and sharp 1080p resolution.
- **Interact naturally with complex interfaces:** Utilise up to 10-point capacitive touch (operating system dependent) for advanced gestures, smooth swiping, and highly responsive control without relying on external peripherals.
- **Streamline your project's audio and power management:** Route your sound easily via the built-in 3.5mm headphone jack or direct speaker headers, and adjust screen brightness effortlessly using physical OSD buttons or DDC/CI software commands.
