As the Cerbo GX has an HDMI port, I'm pretty sure it can also be displayed on a large screen TV with an HDMI port. Has anyone done this?
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Cerbo GX and large TV screen with HDMI port.
Yes, but of course there is no touch control.
USB touch does work but most TVs don't provide it. You may find some large-ish HDMI computer monitors that do have USB touch output though. I've tried it on small (7") and it works out of the box.
You can also use a USB mouse.
Where can you buy a such Cabinet Rack? Can you send me some infos per PN
I built that cabinet myself at home.
Sorry, there are no part numbers or anything, just built from sheet metal and parts fabricated in my home workshop.
You could buy a standard computer rack and then make the custom parts yourself or get a local metal fabricator to make them for you.
Message to Kevin Windrem: Hi. I noticed in another answer you said you have the Waveshare 7" plugged into the Cerbo, and "it worked right out of the box". I have the same unit, brand new, and when plugged into the Cerbo (using the correct USB port), and plugged into the "Touch" port on the screen, I get a static screen, which is replicating what I see on my phone screen. If I am showing the general screen, with the icons showing the power flow, I can scroll side to side and see the various displays. However, I cannot go into the menu. If I switch the phone screen to the Menu, the Waveshare screen also changes. From there I can scroll using the touch screen but not much can be viewed, and I cannot get back into the Display Screen again. I have to change in on the phone first. So, I am wondering how you got it to work directly connected to the Cerbo? Frustrating that I cannot finish my installation and that I still need to use the phone/laptop via the inbuilt WiFi, and Victron Connect..Thank you very much in advance.
Touches on the display I have does work with Cerbo. Apparently besides the HDMI back channel for touch to support GX touch displays, it also has a USB mouse driver which includes touch.
Remember that the USB port closest to the HDMI port is power only. You need to plug the USB from the display into one of the other two ports.
