Hi all. I also have a brailliant bi 32 cells display. It is a great display, but I have 1 problem, that has not been mentioned, so I am a little afraid that it is my display.
Sometimes while writing or navigating, the display and my IPhone 5 loses connection, and it can be a little tricky to get it back again. Best regards Annie.
