New to Pi, help picking a screen?
-
I'm new to using raspberry pi's and I'm looking for a cheap screen to use for a project with retropie, but I've heard that some of these screens require flashing specific OS images or have otherwise hard to use drivers. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction to get a screen that's easy to set up with retropie.
I've picked out a few good looking ones:

Since I know basically nothing about how to make a screen work (And yes, I have googled it) can someone tell me if they've had experience with any of these screens? Also, I can't get one of those nice adafruit ones, I'm on a small budget. -
I like the first one it's also got the most votes and should tell you something.

Tealmann How do you think games look on that? I would be interested in this one too. I wonder if there is bad bleeding on this display for games.

@plasmah77 I like that one too, but what worries me is that it requires their specific os image, so I don't know if it would work with RetroPie

I see what your saying but since these OS's are all based on basically the same foundation I bet you just need to install a driver is all. I could be wrong but it makes sense. Lets wait for a Guru to chime in ;)
