Review: Solid display for data visualization - bought again - Good quality screen for Arduino projects. Libraries are easy to find (check other reviews for links), setup is straightforward on Mega2560. Works great for slow-refresh chart displays - if you're visualizing sensor data or plotting trends, this handles it well. Don't expect fast gaming refresh rates, but for instrumentation and data monitoring it's perfect. The fact I bought it again says everything. Reliable, does the job, good value.
Review: Beautiful IPS LCD screen. - This review is for HiLetgo 3.2" IPS TFT LCD. To drive this board, I used a library written by Bodmer as many reviewers already pointed out. To make sure the board is running properly, I ran most of the example sketches from the driver library. Overall speaking, I was impressed by the wide angle viewing of the screen. Although half-VGA (480x320) doesn't seem a lot in nowadays HD era standard, the screen is very clear and colors are vivid. Another advantage of this shield is that you can directly plug it in to Arduino Mega2560. That makes the hardware installation a no brainer as no adapter nor wiring is required. This board also features an SD card slot (Just FYI, the SD_CS is at pin 53). With one Arduino Mega2560, this LCD board and an SD card, one can easily turn them into a mini picture frame project. In my case, I do manage to convert a couple of desktop wallpapers and display them on the LCD screen just to show the quality of the screen. I would highly recommend this board to anyone who wants to work on projects that require an Arduino with a good LCD.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I connect other sensors/buttons to the Mega if this shield covers the entire Mega board?**
A: I had the same issue, so I used male/female leads to connect the LCD to the Mega board to get access to the Mega pins.

**Q: This board doesn't seem to have the rdx signal to allow a register read.  is there any way to put it into sleep or deep standby without the rdx pin?**
A: I have never tried it but I believe that there are some commands that would allow you to put the screen into a low power state and back.

**Q: Can the SPI serial interface be used to drive the lcd screen, or must the parallel interface (16 data pins) be used?**
A: I just use mine on the Mega 2560, but it is my understanding that you cannot. The SPI pins are for the card reader only. You need the parallel interface for the display.

**Q: The description says ili9481 but the specs say hx8357c.  what will i receive if ordered ?**
A: I think I have always received a ILI948x Chip.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you need a large display, this one works very well.
*by W***E on August 14, 2023*

I snapped in on an Arduino Mega, loaded the library, and wrote some code, and it's awesome. Looks high quality. Okay, so when you put this on your Mega, you loose all hardware functions other than the Mega USB connector, the Mega power connector, and the LCD reset. If you wanted, you could add a dual row 18pin header for the rear of the Mega, and a single 7pin header for power and reset, and then you would have access to the other Mega pins, but I'm only using it as a display, and it's perfect for me as it is.
