I’m looking for a good display for a small Tetris project using an Arduino Mega.
Ideally, I’d prefer a shield, but I’m also open to a regular display module if it has a reliable library and is relatively easy to use. One important requirement is that it should not use too many pins, as I still need some free for other components.
The display should also be available on Amazon.de.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Welcome!
I do not use Azon but they probably have something like this dot matrix display:

Why choose the largest Arduino to make a small Tetris project? Why not choose a small Arduino?
i already have it and i like the additional ports

Please have a look at https://www.adafruit.com, where you find displays and librarys as well, most witch nice documentations. If available on Amazon, please check.

Im deutschsprachigen Teil des Forums sollte die Anfrage in Deutsch formuliert sein.
@uwefed : Bitte verschieben.

If you want to avoid needing many pins, choose a display with either SPI or I²C interface, not parallel interface. SPI is faster which may be better if you want the display to update quickly. Also a display with fewer pixels will be quicker to update.
Für Mega2560 gibt es Displays was werden draufgesteckt auf die seitliche leiste, in 3,5 und 4 Zoll Ausführung.
Die 5V Display für UnoR3 funktionieren auch jedoch sind nur als 2,2 oder 2,4Zoll zu haben, als Bibliothek wird LCDWicki empfohlen.
A rough estimate: You would need to refresh each rode ~100 times a second. That works out at 100Hz per row, 8 rows would be 800Hz this is assuming 1 row at a time. Parallel rows would more effective. It is all dependent on your interface. This is for a LED device, a LCD device would be much slower as would using a display controller.
16-bit parallel Colorful TFT Display 3.5 inch would be great! Its speed is very fast!
Your two topics on the same subjects have been merged. Please do not cross-post, it wastes peoples time. See https://forum.arduino.cc/t/how-to-get-the-best-out-of-this-forum/679966#only-ask-your-question-once-in-one-category-of-the-forum.
