## Description

If you've got a project that needs some vision, then this handy little TFT screen is just the thing you're looking for. It's a 3.5" display designed for analogue video signals with NTSC/PAL driver board. It takes a 6-15V DC input and has pre-soldered RCA connectors for composite video and provides two different channels: AV1 and AV2. Only one channel can be used at a time, and if AV2 detects a signal then it will replace the signal on AV1, allowing for two sources to be connected.

A simple menu system for controlling brightness, colour and contrast can be accessed via the three onboard push-buttons. The control board is connected to the screen via a thin ribbon cable which **must be handled with care** to avoid damage to the connector.

Whether it's for a Raspberry Pi to bring vintage game emulations to life, or the resurrection of old hardware such as a VCR, this NTSC/PAL TFT Display is going to be perfect for your project.
