| Display Model | Features | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waveshare 2.13" G V2 | Black, white, red, yellow | ~€20 | No partial refresh support, so it flickers with every refresh. Nice colors but less ideal for this application. |
| Waveshare 2.13" Basic | Black, white | ~€20 | Partial refresh support, good for our application but no case included. |
| Waveshare 2.13" with Case | Black, white | ~€20-30 | Best option so far. Includes case (designed for horizontal placement), partial refresh support. |
PiSugar 3 or similar battery pack for portable use
3D printed case or use the one included with some display models. A vertical orientation case would be ideal for this application.
