Can you tell me what's Max. and Min. contrast ratio at datasheets' page10 "Contrast Ratio Polar Representation" graphic?</p>

Pros: High resolution, large, high contrast, sunlight readable.<br>
Cons: Pricey, SLOW to update (2 secs), 250kHz isn't fast to transfer, not very flexible command set. The edge pixels are the boarder (so if you set the upper left corner square pixel, the pixels above and to the left are also set, so it is really 318x238).<br>
You can update part of the screen, but it isn't like you can do it to a rectangular area.</p>
