     @marionline Somehow I suspect you've tried LCD screens which connect to the extension header (been there too). You'll have to look for small HDMI displays if you want it to work out-of-the-box.

     @aaribaud Okay, I see. :)
     Yes, I found my old raspberry and an old display and could not get it to work.... So eventually I gave up.

     The 2x16-Symbol-LCD Display works fine with my pico, but it's no replacement for a monitor display for the raspberry pi computer. ?

     @marionline There's no other way to get those to work than to dig up the code provided by the seller and use it. ?

     Now, most sellers actually provide the same HW and code (a bit like most 2x16 LCDs are variants of the HD447xx), so if the display has any markings, the code should not be too hard to find from there.

     A caveat though: the way it's provided, it'a either LCD or HDMI. Switching requires a manual operation, and having both displays work independently is not supported.
