Hi,  
I am new at this so please excuse me for what might be a simple question.  
What is the best way to connect my raspberry Pi 4 to my 10"IPS LCD Screen. do I need a 15 pin ribbon to connect to the screens driver to the Pi4 or should I use the HDMI?

Hi Peter, Welcome to the forum 🙂

Do you have a link to the specific display you were trying to connect so we can walk you through the process for that model?  
Most displays of that size just connect via a standard HDMI cable, your Pi 4 has micro HDMI outputs so you may need a cable like this.

> Used for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and other devices that have a micro-HDMI output on them, for connection to full HDMI displays

Thanks Trent, that will get me started. I am sure I will be back with more questions.
