Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 External Monitor Mode with a Raspberry Pi 4

Just a quick video on how to use the Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 as an external monitor.
You can switch between 16:10 and 16:9 screen mode and change the brightness with the touch screen. Changing the volume is done with the volume rocker.
I just installed PiMiga 1.5 MF edition on my Pi4 for this test.
When you want more information about emulating the Amiga with a Pi4, just let me know in the comments.
Here is a video from the creator of PiMiga: • Pimiga 1.5 C= Amiga on...

Thanks for showing how it works in action. Do you know if there is any way to use the touch input as a pointing device for the Pi (or a Linux PC) while using the tablet as a monitor?

[@LivingLinux]

As far as I know it won't work as a touch screen.

[@Oddwarg]

@@LivingLinux Good to know, thanks.

As an external monitor, is Android still active? Like can you record what's on your screen and save it as a video file? And also what's the latency like?

[@LivingLinux]

Sorry for the slow response. It looks like Android gets suspended when it goes into monitor mode. I tried with XRecorder, but the recording stops as soon as it switches to the external signal.

what need orden can use my android tablet, whit raspi4, second display, i have normal asus 24" display my raspi4 table computer daily uses, what need orden connect old usb micro plug tablet second display whit touchscreen working.

[@LivingLinux]

I don't know if I can get the touch screen working. I still need to investigate that.

[@RaquelHernandezCruz]

Is there anyway to use the touchscreen to control the pi?

[@LivingLinux]

Not that I know of.

How is the input lag on monitor mode?

[@LivingLinux]

I didn't notice any lag, but I'm not a hardcore gamer. Do expect some lag with consoles or handhelds, as 1080p will pass through a scaler. With a computer you can select the native resolution of 2160 x 1350.

What cable do you use?

[@LivingLinux]

Both the Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 and the Raspberry Pi 4 have micro HDMI ports. The Lenovo Tab comes with an adapter for micro HDMI to full size HDMI. Other than that you can use any regular HDMI cable.

@@LivingLinux if tablet have only usb micro plug, were have buy cable, need only cable connect second monitor and work, or need android install somethink software and raspi need install software or plug and play ???

[@LivingLinux]

@@mattivirta When you want to use the tablet as a monitor, you need micro HDMI. Something like this: www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Adapter-Ethernet-Compatible-Raspberry/dp/B06WWQ7KLV
