Product Review

This OLED (Omitting Light Emitting Diode) mainly differs from other similar I2C OLED display because of its increased size. Beneficially, it include positive features which may include the likes of:

1. An increase screen size (diagonal) and overall display (length and width) for larger, clearer visuals, being compared to a 0.96" OLED display.
2. The multiple resources available with this product, which includes sample codes, libraries and tutorials from other makers.
3. A simple hardware and software interface where it runs on the i2c protocol, which means that it consists of four main connections (GND, VCC, SCL and SDA).
4. The pre-soldered pins on this product, compared to other similar displays where the pins don't arrive soldered. This feature makes a maker's experience with this product simpler.
5. It's capability to perform code consisting of displaying many images, animations and text with a few lines of code only.
6. The overall design of this product; lightweight and compact to fit any container easily, especially with the four, circular mounting holes at each corner of this display.
