Recommendations: where to buy #388

Hi, I'm looking to buy a compatible 3.5" screen. However, since there seem to be several different versions that look similar but are incompatible, I'm wondering where to buy. I live in Europe. Aliexpress doesn't show many hits when searching for "Turing 3.5" or "XuanFang 3.5". At least not with the same manufacturer name in the actual description. Amazon has some, but not sure how to be sure they are really compatible. The manufacturer itself has a website but does not seem to sell from that website. Where do people buy their screens? Thanks! dieter |

Hi @dietervansteenwegen! To know the screen model you have to check the ad text for the software link or screen capture e.g. if the software is the Since you live in Europe as I do, here are some links I used to buy my previous screens: Xuanfang rev. b UsbPcMonitor 3.5" It is very hard to find XuanFang 3.5" flaghisp (with RGB LEDs), it seems all have been sold. Good shopping! 🛒 |

Cool, thanks. Is there any reason to choose the Turing over the Xuafang or UsbPcMonitor (or the other way around)? |

You're right, all 3.5" models are clones: they all have the same resolution and (slow) refresh rate because they use the same hardware components. Their differences are the functions they may offer with their original software, but if you use this project then all the 3 screens will be supported the same way. |

If you're in the USA, the EDIY is an OG Turing. It even came in a Turing box. I got it on Amazon here: |

Hi @dietervansteenwegen!
I usually buy mine on Aliexpress but I agree they are hard to find because the brand is never in the ad...
Usually searching for
smart screen 3.5"orsecondary screen 3.5"is enough as most products are the same.To know the screen model you have to check the ad text for the software link or screen capture e.g. if the software is the
35inchENG.rarpackage then it's a Turing 3.5 screenCheck Vendor Apps for details
If no software is mentioned in the ad, my advice is don't buy the product because you cannot be sure of the model.
Since you live in Europe as I do, here are some links I used to buy my previous screens:
Turing 3.5"
