Find Display Prices in South Africa - LCD, OLED, TFT & ePaper at Communica

Quick value: why Communica for display pricing

Need the right display at a predictable local price and the parts to make it work? Communica keeps thousands of display modules and accessories in stock for makers, students and engineers across South Africa - with practical pricing transparency, branch pickup from Samrand or Pretoria CBD, and VAT invoicing for institution purchases. That means you can compare a 0.96 OLED, a 2.8 TFT, or a 7.0" HDMI panel side-by-side and order with confidence.

What you get at a glance

We surface prices alongside key specs so you can judge suitability quickly: display type, resolution, interface (SPI/I2C/Parallel/HDMI), voltage, backlight requirements, and commonly compatible controller boards. For teaching labs and prototyping we highlight quantities and lead times to help with budgeting and schedules.

• Local stock visibility and branch pickup - check Samrand availability before you commit.
• Accessory bundles: cables, level shifters, mounting frames and touch digitizers grouped for easy ordering.
• Specification callouts so you pick displays that work with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32 and common dev boards.

Compare common display categories

Use the table below to compare typical modules and price drivers. Prices vary with resolution, interface and brand; use our filters on the product index to refine by exact model.

Specification callouts - what affects price

When evaluating price, prioritise the specs that matter in your application:

• Interface complexity - parallel and HDMI controllers add cost versus SPI/I2C modules.
• Touch digitizer - adds both hardware and driver complexity; capacitive touch is pricier than resistive.
• Brightness and backlight control - automotive or outdoor projects need higher-brightness panels.
• Mechanical extras - bezel, mounting brackets, ribbon cables and adapter boards are common add-ons.

If you want to browse models, start from our Collections (shop by category) or scan every product via the All Products index to compare live prices and stock levels.

Compatibility and quick checks

Before you order, confirm these compatibility points to avoid returns:

• Voltage and logic levels - many small modules are 3.3V; use level shifters for 5V systems.
• Driver support - check if libraries exist for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or your MCU.
• Connector pinout - ribbon cables and FFC pitch must match your controller board.
