If the monitor is connected to the pi, can it still output to hdmi like a dual monitor setup?

Save your money and buy the one from adafruit. I spent hours installing this and still doesn't work right. Can't find anyone out there who has had a Gluck with the touch coding. This is a waste of time.

yes and no. the screen alone does not directly connect to the PI. In the kit pictured, the board shown will connect to the RPi. please also note, the power source for the lcd is sold separate

I only see an one HDMI port and that is an HDMI output. I don't believe it can be used for input purposes but have not tried to use it that way.

Hi....I just checked and do not see any HDMI or other output for this unit. As a side note...the monitor included has a beautiful picture although it's just a 20.

No. HDMI carries audio but dvi doesn't, so you need a separate cable for that.

you can put vga or dvi input and out just dvi or use vga adapter... no hdmi

The monitor should automatically detect the HDMI input once you plug it in, but if it doesn't you can change the input via the menu control buttons on the right side edge of the monitor.

No, not unless you have rca input hook-ups. HDMI is currenly all outputs. Hook-ups need to go out to in or vise versa, not out to out or in to in.

it depends on what input you are using from your "Pi" if you are using HDMI then it's obvious a monitor must be able to use HDMI. If RCA(video) then monitor must be able to view Rica. if this part is OK then Pi should automatically pick up what is available. Hope this helps.

>can i use this to connect my pc to monitor?Works for me. HDMI output on my laptop to DVI connector on a monitor.

Yes, that is correct. You can't send the output over HDMI, only via the 5.1 analog outputs.

Yes. There are 2 HDMI IN ports on the back of the monitor base. Instructions say "Connect HDMI devices to watch on the Display*. (Blue Ray players, cable/satellite boxes, game consoles, etc). The * Language is this, "The HDMI IN Port is not used for HDMI output. Does not support dual displays. Hope this helps.

Plug the hdmi into a television. If it works the tv, then your monitor is the problem. If it doesn't work on the tv either, then your Pi has a problem.

I don't see why not - I'm taking the HDMI output of my PC to a DVI input on a projector with no issues.

it can be. There's a menu item in the setup menu called "HDMI Setup". In there you can enable pass through for one source at a time.

Not right out of the box, but you can use an HDMI-to-VGA adapter like this: Generic HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop NoteBook HD DVD (we use this in our school to connect to the older VGA monitors or the VGA projectors), you could build one using the Pi's GPIO board (https://www.raspberrypi.org/gert-vga-adapter/), or you could buy a completed connector for the GPIO via this Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pisupply/gert-vga-666-kit-hardware-vga-for-raspberry-pi

Yes you can, one HDMI input is a throughput the unit does not have to be on and the other one the unit has to be on
