I bought two P1.875 128x64 flexible panels, but despite being listed as tested on the DMD\_STM32 wiki, apparently according to @board707 they won’t work due to having ICND2153 drivers.

Can anyone recommend an alternative panel that is known good with the hzeller library?

I am in UK, so it ideally needs to come from Europe or China, not the US.

Or, maybe could people tell me what to look for (Chipset etc) - most of the listings I see on AliExpress do not even list the chipset (Most of them don’t even say PWM or non PWM), I am having to message the vendors and ask.

I found one that uses ICN2037 drivers - would that work?

Yeah, those are the ones I just bought.

Interestingly, the vendor told me they are ABCDE

He also told me that they are ICN2037 - Is that what yours are?

The P2 and P1.875 panels are not the same.

P2 is ABCDE, with HUB75 input/output P1.875 is ABC with HUB75 input only

That exact same vendor on AliExpress said something else:

So either he is wrong, or maybe it has changed since you purchased?

this happens all the time, every 6 months or so, things change, so whatever they tell you must be correct.  
ABCDE is better than ABC anyway, so that’s good news.
