00:00If you've ever spent an entire weekend fighting with a display that just won't talk to your
00:04Arduino, this one's for you. I've been digging through the listings, comparing driver chips,
00:09resolutions, and prices, and I've pulled together the top 5 SPI TFT LCD modules that people are
00:15actually buying and actually loving. Some of these are dirt cheap, one of them has a touch panel,
00:20and all of them have thousands of sales behind them. Let's get into it.
00:25Starting things off, we've got the 1.9-inch IPS full-angle TFT running the ST7789 driver at
00:32170 by 320. The standout here is that IPS panel, you can look at this thing from basically any
00:39angle and the colors stay punchy and accurate, which is huge if you're building something that
00:43sits on a desk or gets mounted in an enclosure. It's $39.18, and with nearly 5,000 units sold
00:50and
00:50a perfect 5-star rating, that's about as safe a bet as you'll find. If you want a small display
00:56that looks genuinely premium and doesn't wash out, this is the one I'd grab first.
01:01Next up is the 1.69-inch ST7789 module at 240 by 280. What I like about this one is
01:09the aspect ratio,
01:10it's almost square, which is weirdly perfect for smartwatch-style projects, little dashboards,
01:15or anything with a roundish UI. The pixel density is nice and tight, so text stays crisp even at
01:21small font sizes. It's $29.98, sitting at 4.8 stars across almost 5,000 sales. Honestly, for a
01:30compact IPS panel with a driver chip that every Arduino library already supports, that's an easy
01:35recommendation. Third, the Astartin module, and this one's interesting because it's really a family.
01:42You can pick 2.4, 2.8, or 3.5-inch, with either 240 by 320 or 320 by 480
01:50resolution,
01:51running a ST7789V or a ST7796S depending on the size. So if you need real estate for graphs,
01:59menus, or a proper UI, this is where you go. It's $50.45, 4.9 stars, and around 4,769
02:08sold.
02:09The bigger 3.5-inch option in particular gives you room to build something that actually looks
02:14like a finished product instead of a prototype. Now, if you're on a budget, and let's be real,
02:20most of us are when we're buying 5 of something, the SNBI module is the one.
02:24Sizes from 0.96 all the way up to 1.8-inch, 7-pin SPI, ST7735 or a C7789 driver,
02:32and it works with Arduino and ESP32 out of the box. The price? $3.26.
02:40That is not a typo. At 4.8 stars and over 4,600 sold, this is the display you buy
02:47in bulk,
02:48keep in your parts drawer, and never think twice about frying one during testing.
02:52And rounding out the list, the 2.4-inch ILI 9341 with a touch panel.
02:57This is the premium pick at $71.91, but you're getting a full 240x320 touchscreen shield that
03:05runs on 5V or 3.3V, so it plays nice with Arduino, STM32, whatever you're using.
03:12The ILI 9341 is probably the most documented display driver out there, tutorials, libraries,
03:19example code, it's all everywhere. If your project needs actual user input without adding
03:24buttons and encoders, touch changes everything. 4.9 stars, 4,522 sold, and it earns it.
03:32All 5 of these are linked down in the description, so go check the current prices, they move around a
03:37lot.
