Did you read through the Esphome documentation for that Specific Display??

I dont see several things that are mentioned from the documentation like PSRAM. Im also not 100% sure why you’re using the

Instead of using the recommended

Maybe I’m wrong and if so, please lmk why.

Im also confused as to why your display is setup uaing these configuration options too. Why are you using

When “custom” is specifically meant for people that are trying to configure an unsupported display and yours is supported, or at least the one that you linked to is.

It should look more like this…

  - platform: ili9xxx
