connecting monitor to tv
#1
i have a 7 inch IPS Display Portable Touchscreen Computer (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YZ6S2PP?psc...ct_details ) and have the Pi 4 connected to it with Kodi installed on the SD card. How can i connect the 7" Touch Screen Monitor to my TV to set Kodi up on the 7" Touch Screen  Monitor using the TV for a better viewing.

There are a couple of problems/limitations with your setup:

- Kodi only supports "clone mode" when doing a dual/multi monitor setup. That means all connected display devices require the same display resolution. And thus you cannot use a small screen as "remote control" for the bigger TV display, if that is the big plan.
- Connecting the 7" display directly to your TV sounds slightly irrational. The Raspberry Pi 4B does have 2 video outputs, but Kodi uses new video drivers that don't support dual monitors just yet, afaik.
- Desktop OS's (Raspbian, Ubuntu, etc) use a more common driver model, so they should support both monitors with each their own display resolution.
