1) Download the latest image from Raspberry Pi website.
2) Download the compressed file to the PC and extract the ".img" file.
3) Connect the TF card to your PC and format it by SDFormatter software.

4) Write the .img file to your TF card by Win32DiskImager software. Select the system image downloaded in step 1, and click "Write" to write the system image.

5) After the image has finished writing, open the config.txt file in the root directory of the TF card, add the following code at the end of config.txt, then save and quit the TF card safely.

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82
hdmi_cvt 1920 1080 60 6 0 0 0

6) Power the LCD with the 5V 3A power adapter.
7) Connect the HDMI interface of LCD to the HDMI port of Raspberry Pi, then power the Raspberry Pi, and wait for a few seconds to display normally.

Working With PC

Support PC Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 system.
How to use:
1) Use a 5V 3A power adapter to power the LCD.
2) If using HDMI communication, connect the HDMI port of the LCD to the HDMI port of the PC, and it will display normally after a few seconds.
Notice:

1) Some PCs do not support plug-and-play with HDMI devices. Generally, they can be used normally after restarting the system.
2) Some PCs may cause LCD flickering due to the insufficient power supply of the USB interface. Generally, it is recommended to connect to an external 5V/3A power adapter for use.
