Hello, how to display sharp images on this display, please? I’m currently using JPG for some icons on the the screen which works but images are fuzzy/dithered due to compression I guess (even if set to 100). Any option to use uncompressed images (png/bmp/svg?) in Micropython?

I believe there’s now an option to turn off dither when jpg decoding (though I’ve not tried it yet!) - might be worth a go?

Hello, thank you for your suggestion! It helps a little bit but image is still a bit fuzzy on edges, I think that’s because of the nature of JPG format, compression. So I’m writing a small function to read and draw images from old good BMP files ;)
