"10 characters wide"

Ugh, I'm better off with the LCDs with that sort of resolution. Interesting reading though. Shoot the LCD I bought today has 4 lines by 20 characters, with backlighting, and is supported by PICs.

I've been thinking a lot about the LCDs and they are probably the most economical, easiest to implement, require the least amount of space, require little current, and give a modern look to any display.
