Waveshare 10.4 inch QLED Touch Display, 1600x720 HDMI
Product Introduction
The Waveshare 10.4 inch QLED Touch Display is a high-brightness, capacitive touch monitor designed for Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson Nano, and standard PC use. It uses a QLED Quantum Dot IPS panel at 1600×720 resolution, delivering 600 cd/m² brightness, a 94% NTSC / 94% sRGB color gamut, and 1000:1 contrast ratio. Quantum Dot backlight technology achieves 58.3% higher chroma purity than conventional LED, resulting in colors that are saturated and accurate rather than washed out.
Touch input is handled by a 10-point capacitive sensor bonded to a 6H toughened glass surface via optical bonding. The display connects via HDMI for video and USB Type-C for touch; both are driver-free on Raspberry Pi OS and Windows. A 3.5mm audio jack and a 4-pin speaker header provide audio output. On-screen brightness can be adjusted via OSD buttons or DDC/CI software control from the host.

Application
The Waveshare 10.4 inch QLED Touch Display is designed for situations where accurate color, wide viewing angles, and direct touch interaction all matter at the same time.
On a Raspberry Pi, it serves as a high-quality display for media centers, digital photo frames, retro gaming stations, and smart home control panels. The 94% NTSC color gamut makes images and video noticeably more vivid than standard IPS panels — a real difference when the Pi is driving a photo slideshow or a video stream.
As a secondary monitor connected to a Windows PC or laptop, it provides touch input for drawing applications, annotation tools, or presentation control. DDC/CI support means brightness can be adjusted programmatically without touching the hardware.
For development and prototyping, the 1600×720 ultra-wide aspect ratio and USB-C power make it convenient for single-cable desktop setups — one Type-C cable from a laptop handles both power delivery and display signal through the HDMI adapter.
In embedded or kiosk deployments, the capacitive 10-point touch layer and the durable Quantum Dot backlight (rated 60,000 hours) suit long-running interactive terminals, industrial HMI panels, and point-of-information displays where replacement is not practical.
Supported Devices
Ubuntu / Kali / Windows 10 IoT — single-point touch, driver-free
Retropie — driver-free
All versions of Raspberry Pi supported

FAQ
Q: What makes QLED different from a standard IPS display?
A: QLED uses Quantum Dot nano-crystals in the backlight to produce a wider, more accurate color spectrum. The 10.4HP-CAPQLED reaches 94% NTSC, which is noticeably more saturated than typical IPS panels at 72–75% NTSC. The Quantum Dot material also has a rated lifespan of 60,000 hours before color degradation.
Q: Does it require a power adapter?
A: Power is supplied via the USB Type-C port at 5V 3A. A 5V 3A Type-C power adapter is available separately but not included in the standard package.
Q: Is touch driver installation needed?
A: No. The touch layer uses USB HID protocol, which is natively supported by Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, and Windows 10/11 without any extra drivers.
Q: Can I control brightness from software?
A: Yes. The display supports DDC/CI, so brightness can be adjusted programmatically from the host PC or SBC using tools like ddcutil on Linux or the built-in Display Settings on Windows.
Q: Which Raspberry Pi models are compatible?
A: All versions. Pi 4B and 5 connect directly via HDMI. Pi Zero 2W needs a Mini HDMI adapter (not included). Pi 3B/3B+ use the full-size HDMI port with the included cable.
Q: What resolution does the display output at?
A: The native resolution is 1600×720. If the source device outputs a different resolution, the display will scale it. For sharpest output, set the source to 1600×720 or a close 16:7 aspect ratio.
Q: Where can I find the setup guide and configuration documentation?
A: The official Wiki covers HDMI/USB setup, display configuration for Raspberry Pi and PC, DDC/CI usage, and troubleshooting: 10.4HP-CAPQLED Wiki.
