Does this screen use HDMI?No. This is a USB monitor designed for data and power through a single USB cable, which keeps desktop wiring simpler for monitoring and ambient-display scenarios.

It is designed for system monitoring, theme display, music spectrum analysis, and custom visual layouts through Waveshare's software workflow.
