   This display is bright, sharp, and has a wide viewing angle (both up/down and left/right).

   As the description states, it’s 3.3V, and it’s SPI despite the data and clock pins being labelled SDA and SCL on the one I received. I connected it to a 3.3V Arduino Pro Mini using the following pins:
   – GND -> GND
   – VCC -> VCC
   – SCL -> 13 (SCK)
   – SDA -> 11 (MOSI)
   – RES -> 9
   – DC -> 8
   – BLK -> no connection

   There are several popular libraries out there that work with this display. It took me a little longer to get it working than I expected but that was because with no CS pin, the SPI mode needs to be set to SPI_MODE2. With that set, it works like a charm!

   This display (like many others) is very fragile and will be damaged if it’s not protected. The one I received came in a small plastic box that no longer fit when I soldered the pins on so I cut a small hole in the box so the pins could stick through.

   Long story short: it looks great, it’s 3.3V, use SPI_MODE2, and the price is very good.
