Review: Using this on a teensy 4.1. Had a few problems at first: ST7796 driver didn't work, so used Arduino_ILI9341 - works fine! Runs up to 110mhz spi on my teensy with good clean soldering and short cables. FT6336U didn't work at first - bad driver code from github (aselectroworks/Arduino-FT6336U - don't use this doesn't work - has a 10ms delay in the readbyte code e.t.c. lol), so cobbled together my own from github "strange-v/FT6X36" driver. Had trouble with that as well - had to delay 300ms on power up before using the FT - else it would't init at all. Also had problems with the FT cutting out while SPI display was updating - All these problems were caused because my CPT reset pin wasn't being used - did not connect it and so it was floating and SPI triggered it - just tie it to VCC if not using it. You can also tie the LCD reset to GND and CS to VCC with a 4.7k resistor if your only using 1 display. Now everything is working great - it's a great display with a nice slick and easy CPT touch interface! With LVGL I get 30fps no problem without using the fast t4 code library.
Review: Using this with an Arduino Mega 2560. First off, it just works. The display is top notch with black levels nearing OLED levels. The colors are bright and the images are sharp. The documentation is superb. The provided character font is not great. If I could figure out how to load a better font, it would get 5 stars. There is some text in the documentation suggesting it can be done, but I have not found any details on how that is accomplished. For static text, I just use a bitmap with a better font. My perspective is one of an EE with over 50 years of hardware and system software design experience.

## Features

- 3.5-inch color screen, upgraded to use IPS full-viewing panel, 320x480 resolution, 300cd/m2 brightness and up to 16.7M RGB colors to ensure excellent display effects.
- Newly upgraded to a capacitive touch panel, the touch is more sensitive and precise compared to the resistive screen.
- On-board level conversion circuit, compatible with 5V and 3.3V MCUs. Adopt 4-wire SPI serial bus to save I/O pins.
- The input supports 2.54 pin header interface and FPC extension interface, and comes with a micro TF card slot for easy storage expansion.
- Provide rich sample learning programs (ESP32/STM32/Arduino UNO&Mega2560/C51/CH32), provide underlying driver technical support, and update the information online.

I haven't tested the touch screen but who cares about that, beautiful display it booted right out of the box with e_spi driver for rp2040. I've included a screenshot of my settings hopefully someone can be helped. Because of its size and resolution it has slight dimness between pixels. I love this display and I hope it lasts. I got this display because Adafruit has discontinued their 320x480 display in this size range. Thanks Hosyond!
