Character LCD or graphic TFT screen?

A character LCD can suit text and numeric readouts, while a graphic or TFT display can show more complex interfaces. This category includes several display formats and related products, so check what is included in each listing.

• Compare the viewing size, character count or pixel resolution.
• Identify the interface, such as parallel, I2C, SPI or HDMI where specified.
• Check the controller, library support and host-board compatibility.
• Verify power needs, touch capability and any separate adapter or cable.

For smaller graphic interfaces, compare OLED modules. Browse the full display range or Raspberry Pi boards and accessories when choosing a host-compatible screen. A display advertised for one board is not automatically compatible with every board or operating-system configuration.
