Augh!! About to pull the trigger on one of these beautiful screens from wankedastore on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5-LCD-key-Pre ... 137248549?) after reading through this thread multiple times over the past few days. While I originally intended on following Wermys build to a T, joining these forums has exposed me to so many wonderful (and sometimes expensive) new avenues of pursuit. After seeing what this screen can do, I don't think I can accept a lower resolution...

Before I jump on this, can someone confirm the screen linked above is the one to get? While I'm 99.9% sure it is, hearing it from someone who already got one would put me at ease~

Also, with this screen and its sizeable board, is there still room for the functioning SD card cartridge? I haven't heard otherwise, but again, just checkin'!

Thanks everyone!!

Placed an order for one of these little beasts last night. Just a heads up, wankedastore on eBay is still accepting $65 best offers(+$17 shipping)!

I maybe should have asked this before jumping on it, but how is the responsiveness of this screen? Has anyone noticed any significant delay/lag from the buttons to the screen?

Is $65 included shipping cost?

I don't think it is, no.

Can't really comment on input lag because i don't know how to measure it (despite playing SSBM competitively where input lag is 100% critical to gameplay) and i haven't actually booted into any games on the screen yet. :/

Ah, no. I'm sorry for not mentioning shipping. That was an extra $17. $82 usd total. Not a bad deal regardless. I will edit my original post for clarity.

@Ganreizu - Thanks for the feedback, haha~ It may be a while before I start putting mine together, but would be interested in hearing your input on the matter again once you get it up and running!
