Use Your Android Phone Or Tablet As A Raspberry Pi 400 Screen!

In this video, I show you how to easily use your Android Phone Or Tablet as a Screen for your Raspberry Pi 400 Raspberry Pi 4 Raspberry pi 3 or basically an HDMI enabled device from the Xbox to Nintendo Switch or even a Mini Computer.
This involves perching a cheap USB to HDMI capture card and a USB type C to Female USB cable but in the end, it works great and can come in really handy on the go!

4:20 See? Everyone does this. Its universal. It is by law that we must flip 3x.

I love the way how single board computers are becoming more and more efficient day by day and now becoming a good alternative for those who can't buy those expensive processors, rams, disks etc.

I always wondered if a tablet could be used as a monitor for another device. Thanks for sharing.

[carlosmcguire]

So simple. This walkthrough was perfect. Thanks

[Everlong]

This is a brilliant idea! I've owned one of these capture sticks for a while so I'll definitely give this a try

[Chickenpatty]

I picked up one of those capture devices a while ago and finally have a use for it. Nice vid!

[motosandphotos]

This was exactly what I was looking for and I just happened to have the same USB capture card! Thanks

[antonsurviyanto]

This is what I've been looking for. Thank you.

I just read that post yesterday! I had already ordered my HDMI in to USB out dongle. Note to anyone else doing this: There are plenty of USB hub or USB in > HDMI out devices, they will most likely not work for this. Seemed like a cool idea for a bunch of things. You keep making these vids and I'll keep watching, solid content as usual.

I love the way you explained it. It's awesome, I can't stop myself trying out this method. A big TUMBSUP to you!!!

[adews]

Love your videos man, I learn something new on each one!

When the monitor has better hardware then the computer...

[robclaridge]

Been following for years, and watch every single one of your videos without fail.
Truly up there along with Linus with my most anticipated new videos.
Keep up the good work my friend.
Merry Christmas to you and yours from the UK.

I use the Pi4 to view/record the output from the USB capture device. I use ffmpeg to do the recording. I also use it in the same way as mentioned above and have been since the beginning of July as mentioned in my post in the Manjaro Arm Forum. The Android software used in the demo above works on Android 11.

I knew there was a reason I bought that $28 Onn Gen 2 tablet you suggested from WalMart. Can’t wait to try this out. Thanks ETA for all the great content!!!

[zenkaaalt.]

Nice tutorial bro! it help me so much!

[nanospearing]

Hey thanks for this I needed this for my Raspberry 3b Thanks!

[massimodileo]

I use this system to connect the Raspberry to my Macbook using OBS. It's very usefull when you need to troubleshoot a boot error on the pi and can't use VNC. Now I wish there were something similar for iOS, I have a couple of old iPad that would be wonderful portable monitors for these kind of situations!

[andersonfrans]

What a great idea!
This is so useful for quick testing device who had broken screen, or just troubleshooting some device with broken or no screen!
I'm feeling so stupid not realize it, in fact here Indonesia that device only cost about 6 usd!
Thank you so much!

Thanks for the information!
Another great video!
Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
