This display I picked up looks good. And get this...it is being powered in this photo by a Pi0! Like, literally the single usb otg port on the Pi0 is providing the dc in for the display.

They gave me a $10 off code in the package for this display. I'm about to order a second one because its a really nice 5V, low power and good resolution ips display. Coupon brings it down to $27.50. I will provide this code if anyone is interested.

@kelbotgot some more details on the screen, such as resolution and where to order it from? It looks really interesting.Sadly, if it's from Amazon, chances are I won't be able to order it, as it seems I'm unable to order most electronics from Amazon to Norway.

@kelbot I suspect the code might be no use to me in the UK, but I'm definitely interested in more details about the display

OK, unfortunately it says this display ships to USA only. It is a clearance item so that maybe why. Here is the link and SPRING10 should give you $10 off.https://www.sainsmart.com/products/8-ips-lcd-screen-with-driver-board-kit-for-raspberry-pi

@FiXatoThe same display is available on amazon UK. It is not nearly as inexpensive though. I'm not sure what is available for shipping to Norway.https://www.amazon.co.uk/WIMAXIT-1280x800-Resolutions-Display-Raspberry/dp/B0784R2N1G/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=wimaxit+8+inch+ips&qid=1559830758&s=gateway&sr=8-3

@MatStaceYeah, it only ships to USA from this site. The same display is available on amazon UK but not as inexpensive.https://www.amazon.co.uk/WIMAXIT-1280x800-Resolutions-Display-Raspberry/dp/B0784R2N1G/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=wimaxit+8+inch+ips&qid=1559830758&s=gateway&sr=8-3

@kelbotwow, that is a big price difference. And that's excluding at least 15 pounds of shipping costs. Not to mention the import taxes and handling fees I'll likely have to add. No, I think that that will be a bit out of my budget. :)

@FiXatoYes, it's really only such a good deal if you are in the USA.
