BW screen problems and better alternative?

Post by thetechy2 » Sun Mar 11, 2018 11:53 am

i bought a bw screen from amazon and got variant 8 i believe, i modified it and it works fine. my issue is that ive noticed an almost shimmering effect that isnt pleasing to the eye and makes small sprites and text almost jitter, i have also dropped the screen and given it a line of dead pixels :oops: :lol: :lol: so i now have the "opportunity" to get a screen with better visual performance, anyone have any reccomendations for somewhere to find either a version with a better driver board that is either more friendly with the 5v conversion or something and id like to not have to spend 50$ on adafruit's

Just get the gearbest screen...

No need to 5v mod
And looks good (well as good as your gonna get on these types of screens)



(Plenty of links, just search Gearbest)

Hallo!

https://www.gearbest.com/development-bo ... 29447.html

I got this one recommended by VeteranGamer, he told me that it doesnt need any modification, I did not buy it yet.
that the screen, and it shouldnt need an modification
(it doesnt have a screen adjustment board, but really thats not needed....)

also the price seems a little high right now (not by much, only a few $)
if you keep an eye on it, they normally have it lower than that....
