What is the native resolution of the K4's 7" TFT and what will it support via the HDMI output?

It's not lost on me that it is a 4K resolution image. My Ham shack

It will support direct touch as well as mouse control, including the very useful mouse wheel for adjusting simulated rotary controls. We're fleshing out the various data streams including audio, panadapter, and CW keying. Of course third-party developers are free to create their own interfaces using the K4's extensive remote-control command set.
