      I am really new to all of this and I think I have a simple question to answer. I am using the TTGO module.

      Everything is working fine but I would like to have a larger display.

      Is there anyway to connect a larger LCD display via the pins?

      If not is there a different ESP32 board I should use and connect an external display?

        yes.

        The TTGO has an amazing bright high resolution display, probably driven by an SPI interface.
        You can get a larger SPI display. I2C is easier but VERY slow to refresh, OLEDs are often monochrome but the recommended library needs fiddling to get right.
        (all my comments art based on my experience)
        So, you have to find and configure the external SPI pins of the TTGO.
        The documentation is sparse and a little daunting.
        Good Luck!!!
