3.5" 640x480 DPI screen

EDIT
TL;DR: We are talking about this screen:
https://www.waveshare.com/3.5inch-dpi-lcd.htm
which apparently has never been tested. So I do it 6 posts later

Hi everyone!
After a long time, I just resumed my build, abandoned because the composite screen is too bad to play the games that interest me.
Here is where I stopped: https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=9948
So I want to change the screen but it's hard to find updated information and I'm not sure which screen is still the best option.
From what I read, DPI seems the best screen if you have enough GPIO, which is my case.
So people seems to generally use the LQ035NC111 screen with thinkerboy adapter
https://www.tinkerboy.xyz/product/tinke ... i-adapter/
But I try to find a better screen resolution.
This topic was promising but doesn't seem to be updated anymore.
And I found this 3.5" 640x480 DPI screen
https://thepihut.com/products/3-5-ips-d ... spberry-pi
It seems perfect. A little bit expensive but not so much considering you don't have to buy thinkerboy adapter.
But I've found nothing on this forum about this screen...
Is there a problem I can't see? Or the screen is just very new?
Or is there a better alternative?
Thanks!
