Need a red serial 20x4 lcd display.

computer guy

Hi everyone,

I need a red backlit 20x4 serial lcd display. However I can't find one. I have found plenty of parallel lcd's that meet the rest of the requirements but I need it to be serial.
Anyone know where I can find one?


Thank you

Might have to change my colour scheme to blue.
All red LCD displays are really expensive.

Thanks for your help Mike.

How come the 4x20 LCD from Parallax is $99.99 and the mini LCD TV is $89.99?

Shouldn't the mini TV be more expensive than the 4x20 LCD?
If the TV could run from 5v I would be more likely to buy it over the LCD display.

I found one that isn't to bad. It's 2x16 but is an alright price.

Now I can keep my red colour scheme.

NetMedia also has a 4x20 version of that LCD for a few dollars more.

RDL2004,

Thank you, I noticed the small difference in price shortly after posting and have decided to go with the NetMedia 4x20 red serial lcd display.
