The LK204-25-WB has been released as of today! For all the people who plan on using the display in a computer, make sure to get the Wide Voltage model!
Just before I order the module, is voltage input the only difference between the regular and the wide voltage module?
Also, is it safe to use power source from pin 9 of serial connection from motherboard instead of the cable provided by the power supply? The manual says the module will die if the power goes above 5.5 volts.
Can I use above methode for the wide voltage module?

Computer power supplies are not nice some times when it comes to voltages. Using the Wide Voltage model will keep you unit safe incase there is a voltage spike... if you plan on powering the LCD through the DB-9 connector you might as well het the standard voltage one. Also, the LCD will draw about 100mA of power, so you may want to check that the motherboard will provide that much current.
