Are these Gearbest screens the same?

Post by xSP » Tue Aug 08, 2017 1:54 pm

I am looking for a new screen for my GBZ and have stumbled across this http://www.gearbest.com/development-boa ... 29447.html
My only question is that the PCB looks different to the one in the forumhttp://www.sudomod.com/wiki/index.php?t ... oard_2.jpg Can anyone verify that its the same? Or is it going to be different?
Thanks :)

I've ordered a few screens from geatbest. The first was the same as the one shown in your second link and needed the 5v mod. The next two I ordered were like what is seen in your first link. I did not need to do any modification on those two screens at all for them to work.

Currently waiting for my 4th screen from geatbest.

All my screens have been like the first link you posted and not required any modifications. Hope it stays that way 😉

Thanks, went ahead and ordered it. Lets hope it runs off of 5v without any modifications!
