ILI9341 TFT : Can this be used as a normal display?

Post by YBontFaen »

Hi, new to all this but trying hard to make it all work with the kids!

We've managed to wire up the above screen and it works with the Pi - and displays the images in the test library easily. So far so good :)

Is it possible to use this screen instead of hooking up the Pi to a tv etc...so that the kids can use it as a standalone device?

Any help would be gratefully received!

No - you can't hook it up like a TV. We have several small TFTs with NTSC and/or HDMI inputs which you can use as a TV:

These would be the closest in size:
