2.4-inch touchscreen TFT LCD display screen shield Arduino

Description

2.4 inch TFT touch Screen LCD Module For Arduino. The LCD has excellent vivid color contrast.

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (2.4″ diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240×320 pixels with individual pixel control. It has way more resolution than a black and white 128×64 display. As a bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.
