Details
The visible panel is about 120 × 65 mm, the same as the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera's screen, so BMPCC 6K / 6K Pro protectors — SmallRig 3274 from B&H, or the AliExpress and Amazon equivalents — fit 'like a glove' once applied in the assembled chassis (Arkaium, Snoozer94, white-round-square). A Nabi Jr 5-inch tablet film, a trimmed Switch protector and generic cut-to-size sheets also came up; whether the 4K variant fits was never confirmed.
Two other approaches: DigitalDreams simply leaves the factory-fitted film on and removes its corner tab, and python-destroyer press-fits a CNC-cut 2 mm acrylic sheet into the bezel opening with no adhesive, sized from the 57Bravo 3D models.

A 4.3-inch resistive digitizer on a USB touch controller fits under the stock bezel with two printed spacers — a working touchscreen without cutting the case.
uConsoles shipped since 2025 carry a third panel revision (TXW500242B0) that older OS images cannot drive; Rex's kernel 6.12.67 images support all three.
The panel is portrait-native, so SDDM and some apps come up sideways; an xrandr line in Xsetup or Xsession.d puts them right on X11.
The micro-HDMI port drives a monitor or a Nexdock lapdock; ARandR (xrandr) makes it the primary screen, and the CM4 lists modes up to 3840 × 2160 at 30 Hz.
A simple clip-on cover that prints flat with no supports and keeps about 0.5 mm off the glass — for throwing the console in a bag.
A front cover on a 2 mm carbon-fibre rod hinge with a magnet catch, printed in clear resin so you can peek at the screen; about $10 to have made.
