      I'm looking for a cheap 3.2" screen (like $10 or less) to connect to my raspberry pi zero by gpio and I found this on aliexpress:
      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-2-inch-TFT-LCD-screen-module-Ultra-HD-320X480-for-Arduino-MEGA-2560-R3-Board/32457717625.html
      So, I'm wondering if there would be any issues trying to get the pi to display on this screen.

      Thanks in advance.

        @Yamt besides that its huge and bulky, i think you will have issues with the resolution. Even a waveshare 3.5 has issues for the same resolution size. I recommend a waveshare 3.2" or an adafruit 3.2" tft

          I don't really want to spend more than $10 on a screen and those are usually around $20-$30.

          I found another display that's similar to waveshare's 3.2"
          https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-New-Arrival-Raspberry-Pi-3-2-TFT-LCD-Touch-Screen-Display-Module-320-240-ILI9341/32553185633.html
          It uses the same XPT2046 control chip, but all the guides for setting it up are for 3.5" and anyone asking how to do 3.2" goes unanswered.

            @Yamt that appears to be a waveshare clone and should follow the waveshare 32b guide.
