I am super glad to see I wasn't the only one having screen issues, and also not the only one forgetting simple things... makes me feel oddly calmer.

Glad to see your build is going well now though [mention:5482b75fc3704a95908721ed81c4d309:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]! [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-6f67f9a6-7543-4cb9-baab-fe4cf81ea8ad/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

A couple of notes I made but didn't include in my post:

Look at the screen from a few angles. Sometimes I would see white, but when I went looked off-axis I could see noise lines.

If you see noise lines, try changing the hsync and vsync polarity bits of the dpi_output_format variable.

Sorry, but I didn't follow where you got your screen from. For mine, I didn't have a datasheet, so I ended up doing a lot of iterations.

If you start changing porch and pulse variables, only change 1 at a time. Get ready for lots of reboots. For the horizontal, I went in increments of 5 or 10. For vertical I would go in increments of 1 or 2. As I recalled, adjusting the front_porch, especially horizontal, was when I started finding my correct timings.
