Looking at the LK204-25 and like the fact that i can run quite a few fans/relays off the GPO but dont quite like the dullness of it. Is there something that has the brightness of the VFD2041 ? And is it avalavle in a Kit form with pc inserts etc ?

If you want a VFD then the closest you can get is the VK204-25 which is a 4 line 20 character VFD with 6 GPO's.

I've got an LCD but I really like the way the VFD's look and the fact that you can somewhat change their color just by using filters - easy.

Have fun.

Can the VK204-25 also power anythig off the GPO ? Is it powerful enough ?

The only display with 'high power' GPOs is the LK204-25PC. It's GPO's are 12v and supply around one amp. All the other display's GPOs are 5v and milliamps. Suitable for LED's but anything bigger would have to use a relay or transistor.
