Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Should be fine, looks exactly like the one I have.

The only issue with this version is that it gets the power for the backlight off the 3.3V supply so you need to make sure your 3.3V regulation is adequate (the LED pin is only used as a switch for the backlight).

I find the display is rather dim, certainly not as good as either my 4.3" or 7" displays.Edited by matherp 2015-08-30
