Do you know of any small and inexpensive (< $50) TFT or LCD displays controlled directly from USB?

Thank you folks very much for the ideas!

This is the kind of thing I have in mind, but it seems it is not in stock (or even made anymore):

Something like a "RP2040 MCU Board With 1.28 Inch Round LCD" on AliExpress?

The FT232H can go directly from USB to SPI for controlling an SPI LCD.

Are you sure? yes | no

Maybe pair up a CH552 dev board with a SPI controlled TFT display? You'd have to write the firmware though.

Are you sure? yes | no

maybe try to find an old android gps unit at a thrift shop and write an app for it that suits your need?

I'm planning on doing this for my µmixctrlr. in the development stage at least

you might be better off otherwise using an mcu like arduino stm 32 or such and a TFT from alliexpress or banggood
