Well i am going to buy an lcd for my new computer these are the question:

I really want a 4x20 lcd
I was looking at the LK204-25-WB

I think that the lcd's shown under Character LCD's do not come with a bay insert or any wires correct?

Also would it be hard to read the lcd if my computer was on the floor?


And whats a keypad used for? Do i need one?
Last question if i am connection it through my serial or usb do i need anyything special like options or accesorys?
I dont knoe what the options mean with the V and VPT.

I am going to mount the lcd on the door of my antec case.

Thanks In Advance!

Hello, here are some answers to your quoestions:
the LK204-25-WB does not come with the bay insert or cables.
You may wnat to consider the B2041 (see description below):

B2041
Bracket Dimensions: 146mm(L) x 86mm(W) x 60mm(T) Face Plate Dimensions: 149mm(L) x 86m(W) Attractive and durable (coated rust-resistant steel mounting bracket; Beige Lexan faceplate) and mounting screws. Compatible Displays: LK and VK 20x4. Communication and power cables sold separately.

...or take a look at the PC bay insert units (see link):

My LCD is near the floor and I can read it if I pull away from my desk sitting
in my chair.

The Keypad depends on your application and what you are interested in displaying. If you would like to change screens by scrolling, then you will want to consider the keypad. You can purchase bay inserts without keypad/push button interfaces.

Depending on the unit you decide to go with you may want to purchase some accessories. ie- Internal cable. Once you decide which unit you may want to go with... feel free to email me direct... at berniew@matrixorbital.ca and I can suggest what else you may need or want.

The V is wide voltage option and VPT= wide voltage with efficient switching power option. (again depends on your application and if you will exceed the standard 5volts). For computers we recomend using the -V, the -VPT is not needed. You might want to take a look at the -USB model as this will be powered by the USB port.

I hope this helps!!
