I went for the 2x20 VFD display, now that it has arived i can see how ugly it is and how much more the LCD owns, it also has a large blob of sumin in the top left corner

When they dropped the thing off they charged my dad over 20 pounds!!
Is it possible to send it back and replace it for the 2x20 LCD?
Thing is, I live in England and dont wanna get whacked with the OTT shipping costs!

urggg, what can i do?

I thought it was sposed to be a tenner?!?!

ALL fvd's have that - plug it in, put some filter over it and it will look sweet

cheers for that Bevwam, the only thing i dont realy like out it is no backlight.. However its growing on me, if i can get hold of a filter to make the text blue i might stick with it... but no doubt you will get charged the 26 quid when you get yours back again

Its a shame Kustompcs dont stock a wider range!

What do they look like without a filter? The standard green in all the pics on this site?

yeh standard green, but the back of the VFD is more visble.. you can see each block bit.. thats what kinda put me off. But now i have a Blue filter and u cant see anything but the blue text, it looks amazing... better than the LCDs IMO
