The latest addition to the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 family is the largest yet, a 25.7 cm (10.1-inch) IPS panel running at 1200 x 1920 in a native portrait orientation. Unlike the existing 5-inch and 7-inch models that use two-lane DSI, the 10-inch variant requires a four-lane MIPI DSI connection to push its higher resolution, which limits compatibility to the Raspberry Pi 5 and newer Compute Module IO boards. The Pi 4, Pi Zero, and all older boards are out.
The bump in size brings a meaningful upgrade to the touch controller as well. The 10-inch panel supports ten simultaneous touch points, doubling the five-point capability of its smaller siblings. Brightness is rated at 400 cd/m² with an anti-glare coating, 24-bit RGB color, and an 85-degree viewing angle. The whole unit draws power directly from the connected Pi over the GPIO header, so no separate power supply is needed. Raspberry Pi OS handles the touchscreen natively, with built-in support for screen rotation, brightness control, gesture input, and an on-screen keyboard, all without manual calibration. On Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, the current release, the default Wayland session includes Squeekboard as the system on-screen keyboard, appearing automatically on text input fields without additional setup.
For anyone running a home automation dashboard, kiosk, or workshop display, the 10-inch size hits a practical sweet spot. How-to Geek's hands-on coverage points specifically to Home Assistant dashboards as a beneficiary of the added screen area. The package includes M2.5 screws for mounting a Pi directly to the rear of the panel, and the operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to 158°F) makes it viable for unheated garages or enclosures near equipment. A CNX Software review already demonstrates a 3D-printed VESA mount for the display, which is exactly the kind of community accessory ecosystem that tends to spring up quickly around official Raspberry Pi hardware. The rpi-ha-kiosk project on GitHub represents the software side of that pattern, offering an Ansible playbook that configures Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm as a dedicated fullscreen Wayland kiosk, wiring together the labwc compositor, Squeekboard, and display-brightness control through Home Assistant automations.
The Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 10-inch is available now through approved resellers at $80 (€74).
