Display selection

Post by MarTkoo »

Hello everyone, :)
First of all, I would like to thank you for this great project that I am just starting.

I would like to ask for help in selecting the right and compatible components that will meet my requirements for smooth operation, high-quality sound output, and especially image quality (I love ultra-fine displays).

My requirements for the display size are a maximum of 270x110mm.

Hardware:
Raspberry Pi 5 (8/16Gb (will 8Gb be enough, or is it better to choose the 16Gb version?))

NVMe base + PATRIOT P310 (for example) for fast and smooth system operation

HiFiBerry DAC+ ADC sound card (for example, the advantage of being able to connect a high-quality microphone)

Display (this is the most important thing for me), I chose this one, but I need to confirm/deny compatibility.

Additional hardware such as cooling, power supply, etc. I can handle that myself.

Thank you for any advice or better replacements for what I have listed for my new project.

Once again, thank you to the developers and the entire community for what you do!

Have a nice day from Switzerland. 8-)

Hudiy requires a minimum of 2 GB RAM, but during stress tests we haven’t seen usage exceed 900 MB. More RAM may be useful depending on your needs - for example, if you plan to display multiple WebViews and keep them running in the background, then the more RAM, the better.

NVMe is an excellent choice, as it significantly shortens system boot times. You can see a short video of the OS and Hudiy booting from an NVMe drive on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SyRNUv99DqM.

Hudiy can handle displays up to 1920x1080 resolution. This limitation comes from several factors, including the hardware acceleration blocks available on Raspberry Pi devices. A 1920x720 display will work fine.

As for the Audio DAC, all audio handling on Raspberry Pi OS is managed by PipeWire + WirePlumber. On our forum, you can find posts from other users who use HiFiBerry DACs, and it seems that with proper configuration everything works as expected.

Have a great day as well :)!
