 This page has all the information you need to get up and running with a 4.3" LCD on the Topaz Development Kit.  

 The 4.3” LCD module ships with:  

  •  Interface cable (used to connect the module to the Topaz Development Kit)  
  •  Mounting Kit (screws and spacers in a small plastic bag) 

 The 4.3" LCD module uses a URT 4.3" TFT LCD (model UMSH-8253MD-T) which includes a touch-screen. The resolution is 480x272.
The Topaz LCD modules includes an ID chip, so the Operating System knows which display driver to use.  

 You have a couple of options for setting up your 4.3" LCD with the Topaz Dev Kit.  

 1. Side-by-side
This is best if you need to attach things to the Topaz expansion headers

 The touch-screen calibration is usually close enough to enable you to operate a new board straight away. 

 If it is not accurate, recalibrate in Windows CE by selecting Start->Settings->Control Panel.  Double-tap the Stylus icon and select the calibration tab.  Press the Recalibrate button and follow the on-screen instructions.   

 If you need the side-by-side configuration, then there is nothing more to do!
