Suppose a person is not having a HDMI monitor, an old analogue TV or a HDMI to VGA converter, how can he access the display of Pi? So before you get your HDMI to VGA converter make sure that it will work with the Pi. But the converter is very costly and the chance to work is very less.

You can use a HDMI to VGA converter by connecting its HDMI end to the Rpi and the VGA end to your monitor. The best display we can have is the HDMI, but most of the monitors that were in use today do not support HDMI, they were using VGA connection, but unfortunately the chip that used in Rpi supports HDMI and composite outputs but does not support VGA and VGA is considered to be an end-of-life technology. You can hook it up to an old analogue TV through the composite out of the Rpi but this reduces the clarity of display.

Most of the monitors now in market are capable of supporting HDMI input, so we can connect the Pi directly to these types of monitors. This will call up the Raspberry Pi command line version of the configuration screen which will look something like this depending on version.We are having two options to take the display of Raspberry Pi to an external device, One is the HDMI out and the other is composite out. Then type the following command: sudo raspi-config This whole setup can be done on the Raspberry Pi from the command line – after all, what’s the point if you couldn’t? Enabling VNC on the Raspberry Pi #įirst of all login to your Raspberry Pi over SSH. I’ll describe below, how to enable VNC and connect to it from a remote computer. Like a lot of built-in tools you have to enable it first to use it.

In earlier days, you needed to install VNC on the Raspberry PI, but these days in 2020, it’s built-in. However, there are times when in it useful to access the Raspberry Pi Desktop and instead of reaching for the monitor, I instead reach for a tool called VNC – or Virtual Network Computer. Commonly this is just a terminal and SSH connection from a desktop computer like a PC or Mac. Instead you run everything from a network connection.

If you are like me, you rarely, if ever, plug a monitor and keyboard into your Raspberry Pi.
