Awesome Extras
This 2.8" IPS resistive touchscreen display has been designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Pico and offers a 320x240 resolution with 262K colours and dedicated microSD storage!
The display has dedicated female headers for the Raspberry Pi Pico on the rear, removing any need for connecting wires or ribbon cables. Just slot your Pico in (male headers required) and start coding the display. The MicroSD card slot also allows you to store images for your project too.
The backlight is programmable to assist with the right brightness setting for your environment as well as reducing power consumption. There's also a handy Pico reset button on the rear of the display.
Use the C/C++ examples in the product Wiki to get your Pico display project up and running quickly.
Note: Raspberry Pi Pico not included. You'll need a Pico with male headers soldered to it. You can grab a Pico here and Pico male headers here, or buy a Pico with pre-soldered headers.
This is a resistive display, not capacitive!

2.8" Touchscreen IPS LCD Display for Raspberry Pi Pico (320x240)
Note: The waveshare wiki for this product is a bit of a mess and the way they present the examples is a bit mixed up talking about files that are not even part of this product, as far as I can tell.
The screen itself works well and is easy to use with MicroPython using the examples. I also got the screen working fine using the Arduino IDE with my Pico 2 and driving it from the C there.
However, the Touch Screen functionality is not worth the bother. The examples simply don't work (assuming i'm even using the right ones, again, the Wiki page is sorely lacking) - it will appear to do the calibration, but then won't respond to any presses. From my own experimentation, i've been able to prove the screen *works* and responds, but the coordinates it returns are far too imprecise and I couldn't get any of the sample code I found here or elsewhere to work properly. The reason that the "getTouch" function isn't returning is because the ranges when it runs them against its calibration data are out of whack with the screen size, the "getTouchRawZ" which returns pressure level is working fine, but i've given up trying to write my own calibration for it, it's just nonsense! There are NO examples using the touch screen from MicroPython either (and no implication that this isnt possible that I can find).
If you just want a good quality 320x240 screen for your Pico/Pico 2 then I think this is worth it and I am going to continue working with it on that path. I have discontinued plans to use it as a touch device however and will just use buttons as originally planned.

It's what you'd expect from the technology.

I needed this for a project for my 13 year old son who is delving into the world of electronics. He found it to be a good quality screen but would have liked slightly higher resolution. The amounf of onboard memory could be improved. Connections for the Raspberry Pico he was using, were solid.

A great little attachment for the Pico. The added SD Card socket adds additional flexibility.
Oh, the price ain't bad either !!

2.8" Touchscreen IPS LCD Display for Raspberry Pi Pico (320x240)
This monitor will perfectly fit the stock case of the Gameboy with slight modification needed, far less than the 3.5" GameBoy Zero monitors require.
Using Tony Goodhew's driver and not ST7789, i have zero problems using it!
Colours look great, refresh rate is epic!
Highly recommended!!
