I am using the Nextion displays more and more. Not only can they display anything you like, they're easy to program, use a simple UART communication protocol (with user defined Baud rate), and because they're touch screen, they eliminate the need for buttons, knobs, and switches. You can load practically any font you want into your project, along with graphics for fancy buttons etc.

(Nuts & Volts Magazine currently has Part 4 of a 7 part article series on using the Nextion... and yes, I wrote it.)
