I know this is a noob thing to ask, but
I was thinking about purchasing the BVK202A-BK,
it says vfd color is blue and doesnt list a blue filter in the items it comes with, so is the vfd actualy blue? i would guess they only come in green.
all I am looking for is a 5.25 drivebay VFD thats a deep blue in color via filter or otherwise. I am fairly sure i am limited to a 20x2 but a 20x4 would be nice too.

What products would you guys recomend? Thanks for your help

the VFD screens them selfs are greeny blue ...
i wanted mine to be nice and green and the green filter didnt really change it all that much (plus its reasonable thick so could'nt really fit it anyhows

so not sure how blue the blue filter will make it ??

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your post!

I took a look at the website and indeed, it does say that the color for the BVK202A-BK is blue in color. This is not the case.

The BVK202A-BK does not come with any filters, just the VFD display. I would describe the color as light greenish?

If you wanted a blue filter for your VFD, you would have to purchase one seperately.

Here is the link:

The filter does add some thickness to the front of the display. The color in the picture on the website is pretty accurate but that picture was taken in a "high" light and would be a bit more dark than the picture.
a
The BVK202A-BK which has a 20X2 VFD display fits into a 5 1/4 inch Bay Insert.

I hope that helps.

If you have more questions please let me know.

Thanks,
Clare
