Interesting display...

Post by DaQatz » Tue Aug 16, 2016 12:26 am

Not sure if anyone had tried this one yet.

A 3.5 800x480 for $40. Would be great to hear in anyone had more info. Want to know if this screen is worth it.

Might be nice portrait, but would have to stick out the top. :lol:

Might work in portrait, even if you cover part of the screen and you use overscan you will still have have more pixels then the 320x240's. Also this one is daylight viewable. Which was always one of the awesome features of the gameboy handhelds. It also works over the gpio no "fuzzy" composite. Would be interested in checking it's power draw though. Extra size does come at a cost.
