The Raspberry Pi Monitor: A Perfect Companion
Complementing the Raspberry Pi 500 is the new Raspberry Pi Monitor, priced at $100.
This sleek display features a 15.6-inch full HD IPS panel with an 80° viewing angle and built-in stereo speakers (1.2W each).

Its slim design includes a fold-away stand and VESA mounting points for versatility.
The monitor can be powered via USB-C directly from the Raspberry Pi using an included USB-A to USB-C cable, though brightness and volume are limited in this mode.

Raspberry Pi remains committed to accessibility by reducing the cost of its older products.
The price of the Raspberry Pi 400 has dropped from $70 to $60, while its Personal Computer Kit is now available for $80 (down from $100).
Both options now include a branded SD card for optimal performance.
With these new releases, Raspberry Pi continues to deliver affordable yet powerful computing solutions that cater to diverse needs—from retro gaming setups to educational tools and professional environments.
