Compatibility mostly depends on the LCD driver. Could you please provide a datasheet about the display you would like to connect?

You can always use a GLCD. A 128x64 can display quite a few rows depending on the font you use (small 3x5 font, 2 pixel row spacing = 9 rows or the “regular” 5x7 font with 2 pixel row spacing = 7 rows).

The first one you linked has a T6963C controller. Now you need to figure out if it’s supported by MIOS yet. Go to [ucapps.de](http://ucapps.de) and check under “LCD module”.

The first one you linked has a KS0108B controller. Now you need to figure out if it’s supported by MIOS yet. Go to [ucapps.de](http://ucapps.de) and check under “LCD module”.
