Screen resolution help

Post by ToyRoBoHoBo » Fri Feb 01, 2019 12:25 am

Hey everyone...I need help with my screen resolution...I can make it out but not as crisp as I would like it. I totally understand it's a 16 dollar screen...thought some one would know...

Are you talking about those backup camera screens like the Gearbest screen?

They're not that bad but hey it's a composite screen and will always have like flickering and interference issues. It's like iconnecting an old RF console to a composite TV. :D You might be interested with an HDMI screen instead like the 3.5" Kedei or a DPI screen which is even better.

If you are using that screen, try doing the Tinkerboy's Brightness control feature tutorial, maybe it might help.

I am using some other screens which have controls, and making adjustments in contrast and brightness helps ALOT in image quality
