Hi, I'm having some issues with the display. Currently i'm using a brand new ESP-8048S050. Currently running the default with some minor animations to make easier the problem to show up.

basically, whenever something changes in the screen, randomly during the updating, the pixels can shift in some parts, and others it can competely corrupt, like colorful lines and even color shifting. Sometimes i can see for one frame, one or two black pixels. If the screen is static or just a little section is beeing changed nothing wrong happens.
It seems some kind of race condition?

In the bottom of the image is possible to see the pixels shifted. (those squares i added them for animate). It was tricky to get that photo tho.

I tried tuning the DMA sizes
"'-D SMARTDISPLAY_DMA_BUFFER_SIZE=131072'",
"'-D SMARTDISPLAY_DMA_QUEUE_SIZE=6'",
"'-D SMARTDISPLAY_DMA_CHUNK_THRESHOLD=1024'",

Tried even changing the clock speed. Nothing seems to work.
Is my screen busted? Is this a hardware issue on the ESP? Does someone also had this issue?
