Hi!

These display have got a rs232 interface which you don’t need for MB applications.

They have also got blue background leds which makes them more expensiv.

Try to search ebay. Every LCD with HD44780 controller should work regardless the color of the background.

I wouldn’t pay more than 20€ für a 20x2 character display.

Regards
