Display recommendations

Hello I know the Q is still quite new but do you have any recommendations for a display for the 60pin Jmedia pins on the bottom side of the Q?

arduino.cc has the Media Carrier Board that attaches to the 1.8V jmedia bus:

Arduino UNO Media Carrier

https://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/uno-media-carrier

and on the product page for that same media carrier board from another distributor here ..

https://www.robotshop.com/products/arduino-uno-media-carrier

it specifically says that it supports and works with the Waveshare 8-DSI-TOUCH-A display.

I'm real curious what the experience is like if you get one 🤔

Thank you for recommending the media carrier, still I don't understand why Qualcomm didn't already provide these standard connectors on the Arduino into q, it feels like they really didn't want us to utilize the sbc side to it's full potential

I agree and I wish they were more forthcoming about the upcoming Ventuino (or whatever it's called) and the product positioning and emphasis changes that has for the Uno Q
