During the Development of the Bascom FT800 library, the following FT800/LCD hardware was used:

Model	Company	LCD Type/Size	URL
Gameduino2	excamera	4.3" resistive touch display	excamera.com/sphinx/gameduino2
4DLCD-FT843	4D Systems	4.3" resistive touch display	www.4dsystems.com.au
VM800C35A	FTDI	3.5" resistive touch display	www.ftdichip.com
VM800C43A	FTDI	4.3" resistive touch display	www.ftdichip.com
VM800C50A	FTDI	5.0" resistive touch display	www.ftdichip.com

Minimum Microcontroller requirements would be ATMEGA328P or an Arduino.

These boards are very common and are good value for money for any beginner who wants to start learning.

For the Advanced or Professional it would be advisable to chose a micro with plenty of Flash (>32k).

If using a microSD/SDHC (with AVR-DOS) a good start would be 4KB of SRAM (>2KB)

Have a look at the various DEMO's. The Help shows the output you should get.
