what's the difference between 9600 bps and 19.2 kpbs. i think that 9600 is a high enough speed. But I don't know because I will only receive my lcd in few days.

can I put a "on/off" switch on the voltage wire to switch on and off the lcd screen, or is it harmful fort the serial port or the MoBo or something.

I put an on/off switch on my GLK24064 with no ill effects. You may have a problem on power up with applications that don't refresh the entire display when the display is updated. States may be out of sync (e.g. backlight on/off).

I don't see why not, and as ctimmer said, some applications don't refesh. Good software will clear the screen once in a while just in case there is any left over garbage on the screen.
