2.8-inch Nextion HMI LCD Touch Display

We have found that using these displays are a nice alternative to a bland LCD display. The Nextion editor is easy to use. Biggest issue is to trap any communication errors between the screen and the Arduino. If it is just used as a display and you keep sending updated data it doesn't matter if a few pieces of data are dropped. We have also used it as a touch screen and it works quite well (although quite slow). My recommendation would be to use an Arduino Mega so you have plenty of RX/TX to connect a display. We have also used the larger 7" displays when we need to display more information.

Excellent display. Great suport of the manufacturer. Have buy a second one ...

I only buy Nextion displays. They have their own Editor software to build your screens/pages/elements as you like. You can code right in the display and offload a lot of work from Arduino. Also, connects with only 4 wires! I highly recommend these displays and I highly recommend buying them from Robotshop! Best prices!

This product is just what I was looking for! It is easy to use and program using the nextion editor. There is a few sample projects that you can find online to get you started. It is a very good product for the price and I received my order from the robot shop very quickly.

I had a lot of trouble with TFT touch displays in the last year, because the suppliers didn't have enough knowledge. They delivered the same looking displays but with different controllers. But now I found the Nextion displays who are far more intelligent and easy to use. Together with the Nextion Editor it works great for my students. The only thing what I don't like is that you cannot zoom in (or at least I didn't find that possibility yet). I also ordered 2 7 inch displays and they need there own separate 5V source (could not feed from the MCU board).
