MCUFRIEND_kbv Library for Uno 2.4, 2.8, 3.5, 3.6, 3.95 inch mcufriend Shields

David: Your software and your willingness to help are unmatched. Kudos to you!

I'm trying to use this:

On the back it says:
2.8" TFT LCD Shield
RM68090

I used your excellent diagnose program to find this:

tft.readID() finds: ID = 0x6809

MCUFRIEND_kbv version: 2.9.9

PORTRAIT is 240 x 320

Now using the graphictest_kvb

I see the text & graphics very faintly (poor contrast) but then with the complex graphics the screen gets very noisy with flashing and flickering light/dark bars. Is this a defective display - or is there a software fix?
