As we know, Raspberry Pi is known as the “Pocket Size PC”, but for debugging and project purposes it’s cumbersome to carry an additional display for it. Also, many of us don’t have access to an HDMI display, so, we figured out a way to easily connect a Raspberry Pi to a laptop display. So sit back and enjoy this simple tutorial!

To connect a Raspberry Pi to a laptop display, you can simply use an Ethernet cable. The Raspberry Pi’s desktop GUI (Graphical User Interface) can be viewed through the laptop display using a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection between the two. There are many software programs available that can establish a connection between a Raspberry Pi and your laptop. We used VNC server software to connect the Pi to our laptop. Installing the VNC server on your Pi allows you to see the Raspberry Pi’s desktop remotely, using the mouse and keyboard as if you were sitting right in front of your Pi. It also means that you can put your Pi anywhere else in your home and still control it. Also, the internet can be shared from your laptop’s WiFi over Ethernet. This also lets you access the internet on the Pi and connect it to your laptop display.

Before moving to connect your Raspberry Pi to your laptop display, you need an SD card with the OS preinstalled, or installRaspbianon a blank SD card. You will find lots of blogs and tutorials on preparing an SD card for the Raspberry Pi. If you are a beginner, you can simply clickand know more about this. This will show how to install the OS for the Raspberry Pi. You can also buy SD cards with theRaspbianandNOOBsoperating systems preinstalled.I would suggest you installthelatestfull Raspbian OS imagefrom the official Raspberry Pi website as it is having VNC Server in the OS package.

After setting up your SD Card, insert it into the Raspberry Pi. Next, connect your power adapter to the Raspberry Pi to power it. Also, connect your Raspberry Pi to the laptop via an Ethernet cable and connect a keyboard and mouse to it.Note:You need screen and a mouse after booting a new OS into Pi for the first time as by default, the SSH and VNC are disabled in Pi. Without SSH disabled, we cannot enable the PuTTY Configuration.

This step explains how you can share your laptop internet with the Raspberry Pi via Ethernet cable. In Windows: To share the internet with multiple users over Ethernet, go toNetwork and Sharing Center.Then click on the WiFi network:

Click on Properties (shown below), then go toSharingand click on“Allow other network users to connect”.Make sure that the networking connection is changed to the connection of the Raspberry Pi. In my case, it isEthernet:

As shown above, the IP assigned to my Pi is192.168.137.144. To check the IP assigned to the connected Ethernet device, do the following. Considering that the IP assigned to your Pi is192.168.137.144and the subnet mask is255.255.255.0:Open the command prompt.

Now, Raspberry is ready to connect using VNC. We just need to install the VNC server on the laptop.Downloadand install it. Now, download theand install it on the laptop.

As you hit enter and all the things are correct, the Raspberry Pi Desktop will load in a new window. You can go into a full-screen mode by clicking on the options available above on the window.

Connecting to your Raspberry Pi remotely with VNC is fine as long as your Pi does not reboot. If it does, then you either have to connect with SSH and restart the VNC Server or arrange for the VNC Server to run automatically after the Raspberry Pi reboots.

Now next time you reboot your Pi, vncserver will start automatically and will seamlessly connect your Raspberry Pi to a laptop display. Good job! Whenever you want to do something with your Pi, just connect it with an Ethernet cable to your laptop and power it. Then open the VNC Viewer, mention the IP address of your Pi, and you can use your laptop’s display as the Raspberry Pi’s monitor.

You can now easily build your Raspberry Pi projects without any need to buy an additional display. There are numerous projects based on RasPi which you can build and assemble on PCB boards for connecting extra peripherals like sensors, power supply, extensions, relays, actuators, etc. You can design your PCB and submit your Gerber files on. They give you instant quotesand provides a wide variety of specifications and additional services.

My Dell Studio 1557 laptop died some time back in early 2014. It started conking out a few months earlier, but I managed to “heat-gun” the GPU into submission and it worked for a few more months. My wife had an identical machine, bought at the same time, which lasted a year longer.

The driver board I bought came from Ali Express. It’s no longer available, but I’m sure you could find one if you wanted to. In any case, your LCD will probably be a different part number.

Lots of people throw away dead laptops now, but often the screens are perfectly fine. If you want to bag yourself a gorgeous screen for your Raspberry Pi, DSLR, Video camera or any other computer I’d recommend you give it a shot. Do be aware that you are not guaranteed a result (that’s why I bought one driver board first, then another when I knew it worked).

This is something I did that brought me a lot of pleasure and I regularly use one of these in my workshop as a video monitor and with Raspberry Pi. So I thought I’d share it with the world. If it works out for you, you can really get an awful lot of screen for your money. Certainly more than any screen you can buy new.

Also, be aware that you will have to either sort out your own case or frame for it. For us hacker types that can often be a plus rather than a minus. I just kept the really useful mounting frame on the LCD and hung it from a shelf at the perfect height for my use.

Connecting to your Raspberry Pi remotely with VNC is fine as long as your Pi does not reboot. If it does, then you either have to connect with SSH and restart the VNC Server or arrange for the VNC Server to run automatically after the Raspberry Pi reboots.

To ensure that the VNC starts automatically each time when booting up, run the following commands in the terminal: Open the “.config” folder from the Pi’s: user folder (it is a hidden folder).$ cd /home/pi$ cd .config

Now next time you reboot your Pi, vncserver will start automatically and will seamlessly connect your Raspberry Pi to a laptop display. Good job! Whenever you want to do something with your Pi, just connect it with an Ethernet cable to your laptop and power it. Then open the VNC Viewer, mention the IP address of your Pi, and you can use your laptop’s display as the Raspberry Pi’s monitor.You can now easily build your Raspberry Pi projects without any need to buy an additional display.

Like mightygoose I work in laptop\pc repair and a long time lurker in these forums. I have a large number of blown monitors and broken laptops that a hoard in my shed\manlab. After disecting a number of specimens and closely inspecting their inards I have discovered that the are mainly suffering from blown components in the power circuits. There does not "appear" to be any damage to the LCD or the controller board!

What I would really like to do is re-use these LCDs and attach a Raspi. This led me to a bit of dead-end trying to find a standard controller board and inverter board that will a) work b) fit within a reasonable price range. Not being able to find anything obvious, it got me thinking would it be possible to re-use the controller boards from the monitors as well?

I have downloaded the datasheets for the controllers but rapidly realised how out of my depth I was. From what I have read, the controllers themselves support a very wide array of LCD sizes and types of signal but beyond that I can"t find much on how or even if this will work with a Raspi.

What I thought would be a great eco-friendly, practical, educational project would be to scavenge controller boards from broken monitors and de-solder the controller from the board and re-solder it to a new "Raspi Shield" board. There could be a board for each of the most common controllers (surely there can"t be that many!!) hopefully allowing you to connect virtually any LCD screen from a laptop, monitor, netbook etc..

I am hoping the vast knowledge contained within this forum will be able to give me a few pointers on how to experiement any of the above or at least blow the idea out of the water so it stops bugging me!

After the flashing process finishes, insert the microSD card into your Raspberry Pi. Then, connect your board to the ethernet cable already connected to your laptop. Afterward, power it up using a recommended supply. Raspberry Pi recommends a 5.1V 3A power supply unit for Raspberry Pi 4 models.

You can now log in to the Raspberry Pi from your laptop. This step will differ for Windows and Mac users. If you"re on a Windows device, here"s what you need to do:

Afterward, you can connect your board to the ethernet cable already connected to your Windows computer. Then, power up the Raspberry Pi using a 5V 2A source. From here, continue with the following steps:

2. Type "ssh-keygen -R raspberrypi.local" (without quotes) to generate an SSH key for your Raspberry Pi. This will allow your Mac to connect to the board. If you see any warnings, simply ignore them.

For instance, a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B has a higher power requirement (2.5A) and, thus, necessitates a specific power brick. It will definitely still work, but a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B only requires 1.8A, and the Raspberry Pi Zero W requires 1.2A. These two models will work with modern, slim USB chargers, which often supply up to 2.4A. However, if you opt for the Raspberry Pi 2, you will also need to run an Ethernet cable to the board or opt for a WAN adapter.

The ideal board for the job is the £9.30 or AU$14.96) for the board. To set up and connect the Raspberry Pi, you will need a short HDMI cable and a microSD card of at least 8GB.

Finally, you will need supplies to mount the Raspberry Pi, the monitor"s power supply, all the cables and the female end of the extension cord on the back of the monitor. I used two-sided mounting tape. And I used duct tape to keep the excess cord attached as tightly to the back of the monitor as possible.

Typically, there isn"t enough room to install a Raspberry Pi inside the original backplate -- unless you"re using a Pi Zero W. Even then, the excess cords and the power supply for the monitor won"t fit. The monitor will sit closer to the wall without the back cover, so it"s best to discard it.

Connect the Raspberry Pi to the HDMI port on the monitor and -- without plugging in the extension cord -- connect the power cables to both the Raspberry Pi and the monitor. Use this to figure out the best layout of all the parts to keep everything as slim as possible.

As for the picture-hanging wire, there were no decent places to connect on the Dell monitor I used, so I drilled one hole on either side of the rear bezel that held the back cover on. This is where you might have to get creative, since no two monitors are the same.

Surprisingly, this project doesn"t require any special code for the Raspberry Pi. In fact, it will be running on Raspbian OS, a Linux distribution specifically for the Raspberry Pi.

DAKboard is the web interface used to display all the information on the monitor. It can be set up from the Raspberry Pi or from a computer, phone or tablet.

The idea is that, when powered on, the Raspberry Pi will automatically boot to your DAKboard. If you want to hang the monitor vertically instead of horizontally, you will also need to rotate the display.

First, power on the Raspberry Pi, open Terminal and type in sudo raspi-config. Once in the configuration tool:Go to Boot Options > Desktop Autologin Desktop GUI and press Enter.

Finally, to force the screen to stay on and automatically boot with dakboard.com loaded in Chromium, type sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart and press Enter. Inside nano, add these four lines (without the bullet points):@xset s off

Once the Raspberry Pi has fully rebooted, use a connected mouse and keyboard to log in to DAKboard. Click Login and enter your credentials. Your DAKboard should load with your previously configured settings. If you want to change anything, click the settings cog in the upper right corner of the display (move the cursor to make it appear).

Hang the monitor on the wall and you"ll have yourself a digital clock and calendar, the week"s forecast, important headlines and beautiful pictures on display all day.

DAKboard is a great way to set up a Raspberry Pi display in a hurry. It"s easy and user-friendly and it looks great. However, it has its limitations and encourages users to upgrade to Premium to unlock the best features.

Check out how leepspvideo use this HDMI to USB capture adapter with his Raspberry Pi 4 Model B:Check out the demonstration from ETA Prime of using this HDMI USB capture adapter to display the desktop onto an Andriod smartphone or tablet:

Using Raspberry Pi will no longer be a problem for you if you don"t have a monitor, or TV, or LCD display screen. This video capture card enables you to connect your Raspberry Pi to your laptop (now even your Android smartphone or tablet) and display it on your laptop screen! If you are working on a headless mode (no monitor and keyboard & mouse) with Raspberry Pi, this comes in handy. This HDMI video capture adapter will enable the Raspberry Pi to use your Laptop LCD screen, you still need a separate keyboard and mouse, though.

Note: This HDMI to USB video capture can only be used for Raspberry Pi display and audio. Hence, you still need a separate keyboard and mouse connected to your Raspberry Pi board.

It is meant to capture any multimedia from HDMI, but since we can utilize it for Raspberry Pi, why not, right? Here is a review from EposVox, and he uses it to capture games :)

Note: It becomes a USB webcam, so your laptop will need a camera app to open it and the audio will only be captured when you record video, when you play live video, the audio will not be produced from the laptop speaker, just like when you use a webcam.

The pi-top is a DIY laptop you build yourself that helps you start learning how to code, create awesome devices and take your knowledge to the next level. This Raspberry Pi powered laptop is an excellent resource to any budding hobbyist, student or intrigued user wanting to learn more about the capabilities of the credit card-sized development board. The only thing this kit doesn"t include is a speaker and its own Raspberry Pi; you"ll need to supply that on your own. We purposefully chose the pi-top without its own RPi due to the fact that most of you already own your own board and may not want to use a different or more expensive one.

The gray pi-top comes with a 13.3" HD LCD screen (1366 x 768 resolution), a QWERTY layout keyboard with trackpad, a smart battery pack capable of running the pi-top for 10-12 hours, and a Hub PCB to take care of power management and a host of other functions. Don"t worry about cables or your OS either; everything to hook up each part in the box is included, along with the latest version of the pi-top OS on an 8GB microSD card. Assembly is easy -- just plug or snap in all the parts with minimal use of the included tools.

All pi-tops come preloaded with CEEDuniverse, a multiplayer online game that teaches you how to code, build circuits and make hardware that interacts with the game in real time. For example, you’ll be mining for resources in CEEDuniverse. However, you must program your mining bot in order to activate your Mining Machine. Speaking of mining, Minecraft comes pre-installed on each laptop as well!
