Thank you for pointing out the difference between "display" and "lcd" - I have a non-touchscreen and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Problem solved!
Hi! Thank you for this video. I have a lcd display without the raspberry pi cause I only need the lcd to monitoring my pc. The thing is that to fit on my pc I have to turn the screen upside down. Is it possible to reverse the image on the lcd screen ?
So this definitely isn't working for me. It makes it vertical, but the 16:9 aspect ratio remains. Meaning I physically have to turn the monitor to see the display, BUT half of it is hanging off the monitor since it's still a widescreen aspect ratio. Instead of making it 9:16. Any ideas? Also, this makes my Pi UNGODLY slow. It takes 5 minutes to just revert back because every stroke of the keyboard takes up to 30 seconds to update. It's completely unusable.
This is bit scary... Just few hours ago I was searching is it possible to rotate the display using that config file and now you uploaded this video :-D
A million thanks for this video. I modded an Arcade1up cab with RaspberryPi and my display was rotated 270deg. I added the line you suggested and used "3"...WORKED perfectly!!! thank you so much.
is it possible to use a script and a gyroscope to automatically rotate the screen? cause i have an old dvd player that i wanna use as a case and it has a screen that turns 180 on a hinge.
I'm trying to rotate the lcd screen. I'm using lcd_rotate=2. When the pi boots up the screen is orientated the correct way. The Bright Red in the top left corner. The the blinking line in the top left corner. Then the Welcome Screen. When it finishes the boot process the screen is upside down again. So I have the rotate=2 and I have had to invert the image in Screen Configuration. Is this normally the way?
Hi, followed your instructions with a 7'' touch screen, the screen flips on boot correctly but then stays a black screen? Any ideas how to get the raspberry pi 4 to work after that (nano 5.4 used) - thanks
I'm trying to run an image on a Pi4 and when I rotate the screen using display_rotate=3, and disable_overscan=1. It does rotate but the image is half way off the screen to the right. How do I center the image? Thanks, good video.
Hi, I loved your video. I would like to know if how would the procedure to rotate the screen in the RetrorangePi system, I use an orange pi zero. because there is no config.txt file. thank you.
Awesome video!! Very rare to find clarity with these kinds of things. Is there a way to adjust rotation in individual screens especially now with Rasp pi 4's dual HDMI out?

I can not get mine to go the correct way. I’ve tried literally everything here. I have it plugged into a monitor with micro hmdi to hdmi. It’s either sideways or upside down but won’t go the right way. Any ideas????? Thanks in advance
Hello Bro, I looking for the tutorial as same but not exactly. In my case HMI console is flipped but when i enable GUI its actually good Do any one have an idea that how to invert or flip the console terminal or tty only it should not rotate GUI screen!
thanks!! i could not get my screen rotated at all as everywhere I had read, even in many config.txt help file pages said to use lcd_rotate. A lot of bad info out there! your tip to use display_rotate worked right away. I realise lcd_rotate will rotate touch controls but most people are not using touch controls. display_rotate should be the default tip out there, and it doesn't seem to be. weird! liked and subbed. great video well done.
I just recently purchased one of these monitors and I cannot get the image to fit the screen. It seems to be extremely enlarged and I can only see the top left of the display. I do have bezels on the image I don't know if that has anything to do with it but the bezels and everything or display properly but the actual image of the game in retropie does not fit the space in the center it just shows it very enlarged and only the left top corner
When I try and rotate the screen 270⁰ it works but a third of the screen from the right side over is cropped off and if I move my cursor too close my screen stretches and freezes. Any solutions?
hello, I liked your project. I also have a similar project but I cannot rotate the screen. in my "config.txt" file there is no "display_rotate" please help me.
So i have the 3.5 inch touch screen and have been trying to do the lcd_rotate=2 command and then rebooting it but it hasn’t worked. What should i do I just tried the display_rotate and it flipped my hdmi screen but still nothing with my 3.5 inch display Its like it doesn’t recognize that i have an lcd display connected
Need instructions for SD card in laptop and not Linux if you can please. Nothing I've tried is working to far. I have the Arcade1up cabinet and display i'm using
Hey Sam, great stuff: I have a question for you. How can I split the screen on the raspberry for VR use? I expect it is similar to this video. Any suggestions would be awesome. Keep up the awesome work.
More specifically, i'm using a lcd with driver board connected to a raspberry pi. This setup is mounted in a gear vr. I'd like to be able to connect to create.arduino.cc and program online. The split screen is more for programming, than gaming.
@@cedric6941 Yeah, it isn't able to handle VR in the gaming sense. I was hoping more for splitting the screen. So I can load create.arduino.cc and program while in bed, or on lunch break. The screen just needs to be duplicated. I've looked into Xamarin, or C#, for android, ei yei yei. I might give in and just create an android app using the C# runtime. left eye is the primary data, right eight is just a copy. I've also thought about the possibility of transmitting the buffer to each eye, then allow transformations if needed. The song "where have all the cowboys gone" but programmers instead, keeps playing in my head. I've been lookin' to learn c#. dot . dot . dot .
UPDATE: Ok have found the right command (display_lcd_rotate=3), but the Touch is still not working right. Use a RPi4 with Kali Linux AMD original 7" touch display
you fail to talk about the biggest challenge for people with 16:9 screens which is most of them. this does not work as others have mentioned because it will not fill the screen as a 9:16. Your video title and description are misleading and therefore you are gaining revenue from people watching your video not getting the help they actually need.
Thank you for pointing out the difference between "display" and "lcd" - I have a non-touchscreen and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Problem solved!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been typing "lcd_rotate=2" for the last 2 hours!
my problem too! it's weird how many places on the web say to use lcd_rotate when it's actually display_rotate you should be using !
For touch screan is : lcd_rotate=2 not : lcd_rotate-2

Just magic :)
Thank you! this helped for my Pi4! you rock
Also for the 7inch Touch screen, use *lcd_rotate=2* (This also flips the touch interface as well as the display) :)
Thanks for the tip!
this only works on DSI attached displays. not HDMI
Didn't work for mine. Did nothing. Display_rotate=2 worked but lcd_rotate=2 flipped back upside down.
@@IcesHouse actually I did, I moved that chunk of code to very top of file, before anything. Then worked great
Thank you for sharing this bro,
Can made a video about how to calibrate the touchscreen?
May have said this before but a massive help, thank you.
Thank you, this helped me a lot! I’m happy 😊
Excellent work bruv direct and to the point!!
A million thanks for this video. I modded an Arcade1up cab with RaspberryPi and my display was rotated 270deg. I added the line you suggested and used "3"...WORKED perfectly!!! thank you so much.
thank you for this. Now I can play a TON of vertical games on my pac man arcade 1up!
display_rotate=1 works fine, but what about the toucharea that you talk about in the beginning. The toucharea is not rotated. How am I doing that?
thanks from Colombia :)
is it possible to use a script and a gyroscope to automatically rotate the screen? cause i have an old dvd player that i wanna use as a case and it has a screen that turns 180 on a hinge.
Hello, how do you lower the brightness of the touch screen?
Thank you so much I been trying to work that one out for days, as you can guess am new to programming and the raspberry pi

Not working on Raspberry pi 4. Any fix?
Thank you so much. Needed to rotate my screen as it has a stand but if you stand it up it’s e wrong way. I used this to fix it 😃 👍
Great succinct video. Is there a way to rotate an HDMI connected touchscreen 180 degrees, so that the touchscreen still works? thanks!
He said it in the video, use “lcd_rotate=#”
Hi, followed your instructions with a 7'' touch screen, the screen flips on boot correctly but then stays a black screen? Any ideas how to get the raspberry pi 4 to work after that (nano 5.4 used) - thanks
Can you rotate AND flip or reverse the screen, so you could put the monitor under a teleprompter ?
I'm trying to run an image on a Pi4 and when I rotate the screen using display_rotate=3, and disable_overscan=1. It does rotate but the image is half way off the screen to the right. How do I center the image? Thanks, good video.
Did you find a solution? I'm dealing with the same issue
@@camulrich465 Yes, thank you for the response.
This config.txt mod isn't working with my updated raspberry pi 4 (4gb) with open auto loaded. I also don't have a mouse cursor in the OS.
Any help?

When I hit the ctrl + x it takes my cursor away and it dont pop up save?
ctrl+shift+plus sign, to enlarge the terminal, then ctrl+ minus sign, to make the terminal text smaller.
thank you ,excellent tutorial ,I just rotated a 22 inch monitor for a magic mirror type setup ..JB
also just rotated my pi foundation 7" LCD so i could hang it under a shelf above my desk
thanks my neck was getting sore trying to figure out how to do this
Done it, screen configuration then layout screens DSI ORIENTATION inverted
Thank you Thank you very much
Could you help me rotate the touch?
How to rotate to vertical for ONLY shoot'em up games?
Sick video man much appreciated!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you liked it!
how do you rotate the 7inch official screen running RECALBOX on Raspberry Pi 4 8gb ram ????
I tried both lcd_rotate=2 and display_rotate=2 but does not work in my HDMI connected touch screen for some reason :(
When I try and rotate the screen 270⁰ it works but a third of the screen from the right side over is cropped off and if I move my cursor too close my screen stretches and freezes. Any solutions?
Finally. Thank you.
its lcd_rotate=2 doing display_rotate and teh new software didnt seem to work
hello is very good how to rotate the screen, but how broken the touchscreen? greetings and thanks
hello, I liked your project. I also have a similar project but I cannot rotate the screen. in my "config.txt" file there is no "display_rotate" please help me.
So i have the 3.5 inch touch screen and have been trying to do the lcd_rotate=2 command and then rebooting it but it hasn’t worked. What should i do
I just tried the display_rotate and it flipped my hdmi screen but still nothing with my 3.5 inch display
Its like it doesn’t recognize that i have an lcd display connected
Same problem
if I somehow removed the date and time from raspberry pi how can I put them back?
how would you do this on a pi4 this command does not work thanks
is this applicable too for the raspbian jessie? cause I had tried lcd_rotate=1 but it didn't changed anything :/
i think it because it got to be display_rotate=1 not lcd_rotate=1
I tried both but my screen is the right way around but the screen is being rendered as if it was still the old way.
Need instructions for SD card in laptop and not Linux if you can please. Nothing I've tried is working to far. I have the Arcade1up cabinet and display i'm using

muchas gracias,saludos desde argentina
I can get it to flip upside down with lcd_rotate=2, but I need it on it's side like portrait, and it won't do that with =1 or =3. errr.....
Thanks Sam....
Thank you
Mine only works using the Legacy version
Where can a LIST OF ALL COMMANDS be found
It isn’t working for me I’m using raspian that has retro pie also built on top of it
I tried both and it is still not workin. Am I missing a driver or something?
This method causes performance drop.
Only on 90 and 270 degrees tho
@@christianmccauley7340 but it does
I’ve tried on my pi4 tried and double check still no result
Thank you!!!!!
works with my raspberry Pi1 but not the Raspberry pi 4.
It didn’t work
I have done it before but now it makes no change
Thanks mate
tysm
UPDATE:
Ok have found the right command (display_lcd_rotate=3), but the Touch is still not working right.
Use a RPi4 with Kali Linux AMD original 7" touch display
No....this causes a huge performance drop. Why didn't you mention this?
Bro please help me. I rotated 90 deg and now my pi screen is distorted and i cant even move my mouse. its stuck!
worked great to flip my 7" LCD 180, thanks
I see how he comment it out. But he went sooooooo fast. How did he save the change?
Isn't just Ctrl X and hit the y key?
Thanks!!!!
fyi if you are using a vpn on your raspberry pi and have no idea why is not rotating, is because it only rotates on the hdmi display
Please help!!!!
doesnt work nowdays bruh
does anyone know how to configure a LCD touch screen to work with a HDMI monitor, in other words make a Raspberry work in Dual screen mode?
