ILI9486 and Mega

I see there are many posts regarding these displays and many useful replies from David Prentice. However, all of these topics were closed so I could not join in. I apologise in advance if my question has already been answered.
So I have this module but the pins are in an 18x2 arrangment, very similar to a Mega board. The descriptions beside the pins do not match up with the Mega pinouts.
My question...
Have I purchased the wrong board for use with the Arduino Mega ?

Yes. Your display has a pinout for some STM32 evaluation boards.
It doesn't have the level converters needed for the data lines.

You can buy an interconnection module, search for "arduino mega display shield".
E.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006996138406.html

Or buy a display for Arduino MEGA.

Thanks.
I thought that was the case.
They are so cheap I'll just buy the correct one.
