    I would look for one with LED back light. I think 16x4 is nice for one to use on the bench, but a 20x2 would also be OK, IMO.

    So I'm after a 16x4 LED backlight LCD.

    Any other spec I should make sure it has?

    Hi Dave. Dave suggested a 16x4 and 20 x2 lcd
    I have only seen 20x4 and 16x2, not saying His supplier doesn't sell those, only that I've not seen them. That said, here are some links to eBay sales and sellers in, dare I say it? China, where everything is made.

    They come in all sizes.

    The one we have been talking about from Dave's supplier is a 16x4. I even have some 24x2 surplus LCDs.

    The ones I hate are the 16x1 , I got some that are really 8x2 but all on the same line...

    So basically just fine a the largest multi-line display you can afford.
