Which seem to be all crap for this panel anyway – 70° viewing angles implies it's the cheapest TN panel they could find.
For a non-profit(!) like the RPi foundation that can neither guarantee sales nor buy them in advance in massive bulks, availability is the only factor that really matters.
- userbinator 11y agoIndeed. They mention it's an "industrial" panel, which in my experience seems to mean "low contrast and brightness, narrow viewing angle, but wider temperature range[1]". The Innolux panel I mentioned in another comment here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10185433 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10185433 ) is an example of this type.
