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.
have s nice day,

Yes, but of course there is no touch control.
You can also use a USB mouse.
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.

Not sure if you can install and run the touch screen calibration discussed here:

I did not do that and didn't even have to on my Raspberry PI 4. A calibration file was included in the Venus OS image and that one worked as-is.
