Good little display for teaching and learning

Works wonderfully, high quality color display.If you’re having trouble setting it up, the TFT_eSPI arduino library works great with this.

Way better than the TN matrix 1.8″ LCDs that take the same space. Viewing angles are around 70 degrees all around. I really like this resolution for the small size.

Item is well made, good solder points at connectors. Bright, colorful screen, highly recommended.
tgtech –
Bright and responsive. No issues at all. Decent price.

It looks and operates exactly like the product pictures. Bought one to prototype a heads up display idea, and the visibility through the display (i.e. looking at stuff in the background) is surprisingly good when it’s close to the eye. As advertised, it is a single color display and it works well with Arduino and their extensive online documentation helped me set it up easily. Great display for a good price!

In the past, the main drawback of TFT technology has been the low contrast. Using In-Plane-Switching (IPS), the color is induced in the same plane as the backlight (The term would be wrong in this case, as the light plane is no longer behind the color plane), resulting in very high contrast. This display looks like an OLED display, without the drawbacks of color-fading over time, and price. Driver software is widely available – in the picture I’m using the sample from circuitpython for this chip. So far I have only driven the SPI at 24 Mhz, which the driver chip handles without hiccup. With the high contrast, this 2 inch display is as readable as bigger displays. The resolution of 240×320 gives fine detail, but obviously requires longer for screen refresh, so it’s a trade off. For me, IPS displays will be the choice if available, and this display does not disappoint. The board allows for through-hole soldering of your own wires, and the supplied connector with breadboard friendly wires makes prototyping a snap, no soldering required. I will probably use this display for my final result, but will take the connector off, as it requires too much space below the display board.I tested several displays of different sizes and technologies. So far this is my favorite. What I haven’t done yet is a power consumption comparison. When only few pixels are “active”, OLED would usually consume less power, but I will see how it pans out.

Works just fine with an Arduino Nano Every and the recommended Waveshare example software. Nice little display, seems like a bargain. Am looking forward to using it in a project soon.

Got this for a stats monitor. Fairly easy to setup and looks way better than the LCD screen I was using. Takes up a few more pins from the Pi than I’d like but not a big deal.

I see there are a few reviews where people had issues getting the display to work. I had troubles too, but I got it sorted out. Here are my hints: Go to the Waveshare website Wiki page for this unit (1.51inch Transparent OLED) You can read up on the device Near the bottom of the page, you will find the Demo Example link. Click it to download the .zip file Unzip the demo and you will find examples for multiple Waveshare devices running on e.g. Arduino, RPi I’m using an Arduino board, so I drilled down to OLED_1in51 and found the .ino file (My first try, I used OLED_1in5 which is for a different board and does not work for this one!!)I wired things up to my Arduino Uno board and ran the demo. Works great.I see another review where the customer stated that the unit overheated. I too had this problem because I was not careful about plugging in the flex connector. I had it backwards at first. Fortunately, my unit worked after correcting the problem. The flex and PCB have pins 1 and 24 labeled. I needed to pay better attention.Also, the flex connector has a latch on the back. You will need to lift the latch (the black bar) before installing the flex. Once in place, you can push the latch back down to secure the flex.
