Other Hardware Displays

Hi,
I want to buy a 2" TFT touch display for my project. Please provide me with a link to buy it for the best cheap price.
And also answer my questions

  1. Is the display programmable with arduino or a display wich has a chip and attached with itself without going for an external requirement to program.
  2. some of the supplieres in ebay say it is a touch display but in the description there is nothing mentioned about touch. so wich to believe?

There is a major problem when buying cheap displays:

Very often, the documentation on how to connect them and how to program them is entirely missing or totally inaccurate.

There are dozens and dozens of cheap displays on Ebay -- I have several. The first few took me DAYS to get working...

By comparison, anything I've bought from Adafruit or Sparkfun has simply worked -- exactly the way it is supposed to.

Which is more important? Time or money?

Thnk you for the reply!!! both time and money are important for me... please share a link where I can get a best touch display of 2" size below $10 so that i can buy two of them in which one would be a spare in case of failure of the other

The link you are looking would be:http://ebay.com

Happy shopping!

BTW: perhaps next time you want people to do your work for you, you'll at least provide the the most basic parameters such as Arduino board type, intended application and desired minimum resolution.

@Krishnakumarc,

You failed to mention what Arduino you are using, AVR based = 5v, ARM based = 3.3v. It makes a difference to some types of display.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-2-4-TFT-Touch-Panel-Display-TF-Reader-For-Arduino-UNO-R2-R3-A137-UNO-R2-/251706082375?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a9ada0447

That is just one example on ebay of a board <£10 and the resolution is 320*240. It would not be a bad place to start. That example will work with 3.3v or 5v boards and has built in micro sd card slot.

Look around on ebay, you maybe can find similar in your own country or find something cheaper, but you didn't really give much information to work with.
