LCD Touch Screen
You would need the appropriate driver for this type of SPI devices to get a simple framebuffer device (forget about the other answers, especially HDMI and the totally different Pine64 LCD module): https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki
That means a patch like this has to applied to kernel sources (this patch is against another 3.10.y kernel but a 32-bit variant so it might require some tweaks). And then you should keep in mind that the fps of such an SPI display are pretty low so in case you want to use an LCD that is fully useable (or you have no experience in compiling Linux kernels or just want to run Android) there is no alternative to the official LCD.
TL;DR: In Pine64's current state (kernel drivers, support 'quality' by moderators here in the forum) you can forget about using any cheap/small SPI display with this board.
