TFT Proto 5 - useless viewing angle is it just mine ?

[sluniq]

I recently got my hands on tft proto 5, which i wanted to use in a project.

The problem is, that the view angle is really, really bad. Colors are quite ok, when I stare in the lcd directly, but moving several centimeters away, the colors just fade away. The problem is the same, when looking from 10 cm, or a meter or more. One needs to be in 100% direct line, or the image is unreadable.

the images are upside down, as the iphone is stupid, sorry for that.

This image is taken looking straight at the display

this one is made a couple of centimeters away. It is exactly the same display (just without the blue stripe), so the color should be GREEN, YELLOW, RED

the same image - almost

I've never seen such a bad display, EVER. So I am wondering if I could have connected it wrong (using the easymxpro for stm32, with the original example), or the piece I got is faulty, or is it that all the tft proto 5 are the same, and are really bad. This makes no sense, as the easytft which came with the devboard was quite ok, and the proto 5 seriously does not come that cheap.

any thoughts ?
