Just purchased official LCD shield last month and ran an example code (lcd\_1.py) today. The image on LCD is blur, colors are wrong and there are stripe noise. Is this normal or did I get a faulty unit? Frame Buffer view on Open MV IDE shows clear image. Disabling it doesn’t help. Yellow objects looks light blue and red looks blue on my LCD… ![IMG_7629.JPG](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/openmv1/original/1X/bd501f7967e968bbe57ca10635caa2a369f0d8ad.jpeg) ---

That seems to be a bad unit. Not sure how it passed testing. We check that these are okay. Please contact us via email for a replacement. (Hoping this ins’t a systematic issue). ---

Hi, can you send me a picture of the QR code that you have on the back of your LCD shield? This will help us check how it was bad. ---

Can I get a higher res pic of the QR code. My CM wants to see it so they can lookup the unit. ---
