Cheapest 3.2-5 inch screen for the pi

Sat Jul 16, 2016 11:36 am

Hello.
I need the cheapest screen possible for the pi.
The only requirement it needs to have is to support 60 fps and it has to be between 3-5 inch.
Below 14 euro with shipping to austria would be perfect. More works too.
I recommend using buydisplay.com but ebay works too ( wichever is cheaper. )
I dont care if it connects using the GPIO or any other of the ports.
I dont own an hdmi to vga converter.

I am using the rpi 3.

http://www.neosecsolutions.com//product ... 7&cPath=24 not quite in your price range, but you won't find one cheaper with that resolution.

Do you have minimum resolution requirements? If you can live with composite video, many cheap car DVD players accept composite input. The quality is pretty poor, and reading text would be difficult.

I would like to be able to read text. 320*480 Dots is fine i guess.

Will any of these really run 60 FPS?
