Hi!
I've tried to conect an ESP32 (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32928267626.html )
with 3.5 TFT display (IL9486 driver) (Free Shipping! 3.5 Inch Tft Lcd Screen Module Ultra Hd 320x480 For Arduino Mega 2560 R3 Board - Lcd Modules - AliExpress
using TFT ESPI GitHub - Bodmer/TFT_eSPI: Arduino and PlatformIO IDE compatible TFT library optimised for the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040), STM32, ESP8266 and ESP32 that supports different driver chips
in two different ways: SPI and Parallel (once again using examples in TFT espi library)
but all I got is:
SPI - not working at all, blank display
Parallel - Display works but the only color is blue (in different shades) and sometimes Green appears.
Please help
Thanks in advance!
Your display has 8080-16 parallel interface.
It is designed as a Shield to plug into a MEGA2560 or DUE.
Bodmer's library only supports 8080-8 parallel
ESP32 has not got enough pins for 16-bit parallel.

Thanks for your response!
As far as I understand - there is no way of connecting this display to the ESP32.
Can you please advise me what displays I can use with ESP32? (2.2inch+ with good resolution)
Thank you once again!
There a whole range of Chinese Red SPI displays e.g. 2.8 inch with Touch
I suggest 2.4 inch 240x320 or 3.5 inch 320x480
These are the displays that most people use with ESP8266 or ESP32

240x320 is ILI9341
320x480 is ILI9488
Google for "Surenoo"
They have a wide range of displays.
