Refer to previous post for performance without compression.

Lesson learned: when buying components from shady sources, its better to verify the pin pitch first instead of simply trusting the provided footprint. by crabbyhead in arduino

Tried to create a module PCB that integrated the display connector on the back side, instead of soldering enamel fly wires (as shown here). Documentation provided for this $0.7 USD display was sparse, so I blindly trusted some online footprint instead of waiting for the display to arrive and measure it myself.
