maybe the limit is more that 128x64 (with lower bpp?)

I doubted I could make 196x64 work with a single esp32 without splitting it up; after seeing some posts, I am almost sure it is possible. I also want to get the gifs over the network and store them in the flash memory of the esp32-s3. What do you guys think?

Why don't you experiment with an esp32. You don't even need to have the panels.

Try and see what the serial debug output says. It'll crash if there isn't enough memory.
