“Great little device - bright display with wide viewing angle. Software setup is reasonably straightforward. I have had a few issues with colours randomly not being the colour specified - there doesn't seem to be any way of fixing this other than turning it off and on a few times until it starts working again......”
“Works nicely, decent viewing angle. Backlight is bright enough for day; a bit too bright for dark viewing but that’s a niche case anyway.
With it sat in the mini Breakout Garden on top of the Pi Zero it feels like everything needed to drive it it much bigger than the Pi or screen itself; proportionally the overhead of the breakout connectors and the garden etc are quite big. Once you incorporate it into an actual permanent build that’s much slicker.
Too wide to fit the width of a Pi Zero unless you’ve got it raised high enough up that it clears all the GPIO pins, but on something more custom you could fit it quite neatly on there if you weren’t needing standard headers.”

“Be aware, this has a very fine ribbon cable on the back that stands proud of the PCB and so care is needed when plugging in or removing from the garden.
Driver on the Pi is a long install - support is simpler on the Arduino boards!
Quality is good (esp given the size) and it is nice and bright.”
