The ILI9488W is specifically the Waveshare product. It uses the same controller (ILI9488) but it is configured as 16-bit parallel and then uses external shift registers (74HC40940) to create a serial interface to the Pico. It does not have a MISO line from the display so has no issues with respect to SDcard or touch. However, as it has no MISO it is impossible to read the framebuffer so BLIT and transparent text don't and can't work.
