[sdiy] Mini VGA LCD screen 800x600 4:3 size needed..

I’m not particularly a fan of ST Micro, even though they’re really popular for things like the Axoloti, but a previous project used one of the STM4F4xx parts with lots of support for LED and LCD displays. I’ve probably ruined the part number format, but it was an ARM Cortex M4F part in the 400’s with 2D graphics acceleration. There is a coprocessor that can convert pixel formats while bit-blitting, and an external memory interface that supports a lot of displays.

Caveat: Make sure the part works with your particular display, and don’t hesitate to look at other manufacturers who might have similar support for LED/LCD.

I want to do a small color LCD (possibly TFT) and the only experience I have so far is old 8051 and old monochrome graphic LCDs.  TFT seems like a huge jump in memory and processing requirements. Would hate to have to start from scratch.  Microchip advertises solid dev kits and more than one 32-bit architecture.
