Hi everyone
so I've been having real trouble with screen seller's as I'm sure many people have, badly packaged, no touchscreen, wrong screens etc etc etc.
So altogether I've ended up with 12 screens when I only needed 1 lol,
thankfully I've been reimbursed for 10.
1 that's right and works.
1 that's right and broken.(didn't check on arrival and when assembled the touchscreen was broken)
So can anyone recommend a good screen seller ?
Ebay or Amazon preferably
And can someone please confirm these screens for me in the picture,
Top left: 0x9090 I think this is Himax HX8357-D (seems to work with ili9486 but inverted colours)
Top right: ili9486
Bottom left: ili9486 rpi display (is there any way to use this with arduino)
Bottom right: ili9488 (this ones actually written on the packaging shame they couldn't read where it said "touch:no")
Thanks ian

I had one sent to me by a customer. Screen came in pink foam, inside a sturdy retail box, inside a cardboard shipping box.
This was for a 7" LCD/touchscreen with HDMI to be driven from an RPi, so it's on the pricey side. Has a very nice picture.
Not sure what the cutout was for, it didn't ship with a power supply, HDMI cable, or USB-C cable for the touchscreen, and it's way more than deep enough for the ribbon cable that goes from the control board to the screen.
I've seen the new haven screens before and the IPS screens they sell look truly amazing.
To be honest if I was working with rpi it would be worth spending more as it's effectively a mini PC.
But for a microcontroller its abit over the top especially when your only trying to display a small amount of info.
They look about the same except not premounted to shields.
But the cost difference is staggering I suppose you pay for what you get.
The funny thing is I bought a load of components from pimoroni thinking I was getting a better quality than the Chinese imports and when it arrived I realised 90% were Chinese imports I could have purchased for a fraction of the price.
To be honest maybe I should just keep ordering Ebay shields and demand a full refund when they send me the wrong ones.
I must have £125 worth of screens for £25.
