Recently I tried the Nextion 7" and 3.2" touch screen LCDs.
They have a simple, not well documented, IDE that is hard to learn because you rely on YouTube tutorial videos of other users.
The LCDs have internal controller that does good job on taking the load off the MCU and almost work on its own.
I 'll post what I have done without any PIC connected yet.
I am very impressed of these relatively cheap devices that make good user interface without much load on the controller chip, without real buttons and having good graphics like bars, gauges numeric displays or impressive backgounds.
I need more info on how to setup the communication or the settings of the LCD since I could not find a pdf Manual yet.
Spent days to find out that the if (.....) command should not have a space after the if and had to rely on my observation that every one did not put a space there.
Anyway, is a very interesting interface to PIC's
