A lot of the Raspberry Pi LCDs are actually HDMI. Find one that has a micro USB socket for power e.g this waveshare LCD. There is a lot of LCDs to choose from.

Indeed I am.

The specific one I bought was this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M07K5QQ/

There's additional information on the Waveshare wiki here: http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4inch_HDMI_LCD

If you go to the wiki and scroll down to the 'Driver Installation' section, you'll note the hdmi_cvt is set to 480 800. I didn't really think much of it at the time, as i assumed it was either a) a typo, b) you could initialise it as 800 480.

Unfortunately it's definitely portrait. If you attach it to anything else, it always starts in portrait mode and then you can use whatever you're running to rotate.

It is a massive shame that it doesn't work as you'd like. As it's an IPS display, the picture quality is simply excellent. It's crystal clear and vibrant. Unfortunately, it's also the wrong orientation...

I've replaced it was a 5 inch display and it's nice, but you can tell the panel is nowhere near as good. It just lacks the vibrancy.

Shame you can't have both really :-/
