Hey guys, since Adafruit's model of the 3.5" is sold out (and pricey), I researched on here and found the gearbest screen. My question is, has anyone used it and/or implementated it into their gameboy zero? Is it worth me buying?

Here is the link to the screen:

Thanks in advance!

I just ordered one, and when it arrives will be testing with my Pi2. Will certainly post a mini review when it arrives.

I've used it. The 5v mod works perfect.

I used it, and mine works great. The 5v mod is easy, as well. Just don't go with their free shipping option; it took about 3 weeks to get here! Spend a few extra bucks and get it sooner.

Thanks guys! And yeah I went with the royal air shipping for free, got it tracked and insured as well. I'm not in a huge rush, as I'm waiting for other parts to arrive.
