[QUOTE="Anaxares, post: 98035, member: 27435"] Well, probably I got two alternatives: - LCD >= 7" - VFD <= 5,25" I think a VFD only has character columns and rows in two colors which can represent for example the title of the actual viewed movie with position information (e.g. 30 minutes of 110). I can't imagine how MP will handle a real pixel display with let's say 640*480. Is it used also only for status information (with bigger font or more information) or can I for example "browse" through my music without to switch on the beamer? Does it use colors? It would be much more appealing to have a graphical display where real animations can be played on and more information can be shown. I don't know how far MP supports status displays with pixel display, though (also as they are connected not via USB, but with the VGA port - would I need a second graphics card then?). Any suggestions? :) Thanks Anaxares [/QUOTE]
