The display is bright! Worked as expected using the libraries from Adafruit mention in other reviews. Also must use the SPI_MODE3 setting in the Init. I used the Arduino Nano, VCC to 5V and BKL to 3.3V.

The 1.3-inch TFT LCD module works very well and successfully completes my DIY project. It has an SPI interface, which is exactly what I need. Its IC Driver is ST7789, There are two display way: horizontal display and vertical display, we can adjust the display direction. If you also purchase this one, be sure to check out the links mentioned in the product description before using them and they will help you with your project.

Followed directions, modified init for Mode3. Was able to get 2 other TFT displays to work but not this one. -> trash.

I’m using it as an interface for an arduino based fm radio/mp3 player/ rtc clock project. For this purpose it works great and I’m using the adafruit library. This is for sure more difficult than a 16x2 lcd but it looks fantastic. The brightness and saturation are great. I was surprised by the resolution this has. On par with my apple watch.

(see edit at end) Despite wasting time ad energy trying every workaround and sample, I can get other SPI LCD's to work, but after trying two of these units, neither one worked with *ANY* of the Pi Pico projects including ones specifically about this board. The contradictory statements about using only 5v, no use 3V, mode 3 vs mode 1. CS missing. Just don't waste your time on this terribly poorly documented product.After a dozen hours wasted on this I finally found the correct formula for getting this to work on ESP-32, never got it to work in PICO. Search Youtube for "Connecting and Configuring the ST7789 LCD SPI Display to the ESP32". All the other attempts and blogs and videos with the same chip were all wrong.

I'm going to buy the real thing from now on. Even with all the "documentation" I still can't find out WTF to do with TFT_CS, TFT_RST, and TFT_DC in the graphicstest demo. I happen to be using a Seeeduino Xiao and have limited ports. Im not clear on if I should be using SPI or the MOSI ports. For the 12 hours i've burned on this thing I'm going to spend the $ next time and leave this to the pros.I can't believe that a user had to make the suggestions as far as what libraries to install. Yah I know they are cheap and I don't expect a custom library but throw us a bone here.All my frustration is my own fault. I don't hold anyone responsible besides myself.
