## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Simply too slow
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2020*

Warning: Drawing to this display is extremely slow.  Text paints like 1200 baud dialup from 1985.  Also the example code has 1.5 seconds of delays just to toggle the reset pin at startup.Maybe that’s not a deal breaker for your project.Reviewing the example code, it looks like fonts are drawn one pixel at a time, and each pixel requires a unique SPI transaction.It’s extremely likely this thing could perform better with proper documentation and examples.  I’d update my review and add stars if I’m shown I failed to find them somewhere obvious.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not really SPI so does not work with FT232H over USB
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2022*

Since they added their own serial to parallel circuit, it now requires a GPIO change before each command and before sending data. When used with an FDTI FT232H doing SPI over USB this cause a 2ms "speed bump" for each operation, for example, setting one pixels.  Two milliseconds to set one pixel makes this display incompatible with SPI over USB.  They only need to have some jumpers to let me set it back to it's native SPI interface, but they did not!  So in the trash this display will go!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
    Una buena pantalla
