Good mini OLED/LCD?

Hello guys... I was looking at this module from 4D systems and i wondered if anybody here had any experience with it? Is the refresh rate as painfully slow as the OLED-96-G1? I assume it would be a little faster seeing as it is a new model and all. It's also cheaper than my current system. I need something small for my Prop PDA that i am still working on:)

    The 128x128 OLED SparkFun sells is one I have used personally and it has screaming update rates. They have a parallel interface.

    The Goldelox GFX2 is a lot slicker than their earlier Goldelox. Here's a video of it in action...

    Ravenkallen,

    My copy of that little gem from 4D is somewhere between Australia and my house in the US.....when it arrives and I fire it up, I'll be able to let everybody know.

    I have one of the Microtouch [2.4] ( http://http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=51&products_id=330 ) coming from Adafruit. It's on big brown truck scheduled to show up tomorrow.

    Cool... I was thinking that it would be a good purchase, even if only to experiment with.

    Well, i went to order it and was about to check out when i noticed that the total was $62! The shipping from Australia is crazy... Does anybody know of a US distributor(Besides Sparkfun) who has this module?

    Great display. Seems to perform a lot better than the 96-G1s on hand :/

    :( nope, I was looking at the spec but :) I'm planning to get one for testing too. These 96-G1s that I currently have are already meeting my requirement but 4DL coding required though.
