after even a phone size display with HDMI so that when one of my pi’s fall down i can quickly see whats happening.
just a small one would be ideal.
cheap is my preference.
have looked on here (Core E) but not found yet.

cheers

Hey Ian,

Not sure about your exact specifications for the size of the touchscreen? However, there’s a reasonably sized and priced 5-inch display here that may fit what you are after. I measured the sizing and its length is about the size of a phone screen, just a tiny bit wider than a phone.

Hope that helps in some way,
Blayden

If you’re up to the task and keen on reusing panels you have, quite a few people have had success connecting driver boards to their laptop panels, here’s a video that goes over it:
