Review on πŸ“Ί Waveshare 3.5inch RPi LCD (B) 320x480 Resolution Touch Screen IPS TFT Display for Raspberry Pi - Direct Plug-n-Play for Enhanced Display Experience by Andrew Kay

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Right idea. and only 4 fps?

What should be a fantastic device is crippled by the fact that the display, when connected to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, can only display around 4 frames per second out of the box. . To add insult to injury, there isn't much documentation on how to deal with this limitation. I've spent several hours on 3rd party forums discussing this particular screen. Most of the discussion revolved around editing obscure settings in the boot-config.txt file, so sacrifice color depth for speed. There was much confusion as to what exactly each setting did. Unfortunately, none of the answers fit on my screen. The screen is bright and beautiful. Too bad it can't be used.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Some little things
