Hello.

I have never used an LCD in any designs yet, and was looking for some help before i buy an LCD module for a project.

Basically the text (numbers) will need to be read from up to 2-3 feet away, outside (i.e. possibly sunny). I am thinking that it will need to be backlit, and have decent thickness characters.

Cost is a major issue too :-(

Is this realistic? What should i look out for? Also, does anyone have preffered suppliers they could give me (ship to UK)?

Thanks for any info!
