What would be a good 2.8 to 3 inch display for the RPi0?

Post by joe7dust » Mon Jun 06, 2016 4:52 am

I need one with no bulk around or behind the screen and has 4+ inches of ribbon cable to connect it.

I'm having trouble finding the right display at the moment. I need a 2.8 to 3 inch display that will fit into the upper half of a GBA SP shell. So far I've seen a couple candidates from adafruit, but neither of those seem to have a ribbon cable long enough to feed through the left hinge on the GBA SP. For that reason I might end up having to use the 2 composite pins, which is OK.

I plan to use a LiPo cellphone battery to power my RPi0. I know it is supposed to run off 5v, but I've seen reports of people using as low as 2.9V successfully. The battery I have is 3.7V so I hope it will work without having to purchase any booster board or special hardware.

If someone could please help me find a display that will fit into my project, I would be so grateful. Thank you for reading. =) My Raspberry Pi Zero should arrive in a few days!
