I assume that's 20x4 inches. or is it cm? (sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question.)

Just make sure when you buy your lcd dont just look at the dimensions of the screen itself and it if it fits, also look at the dimensions of the pcboard it is mounted on, some are so big and bulky it mite not be easy to use as a front panel lcd. Good luck, also mite check Eio.com for some cheap stuff. I suggest you get a HD44780 or a HD44780 compatible controled lcd so you can just wire it parallel, or if u wanna be a wuss get the predone serial ones :( Good luck.

If you looked at chiwawa's link, it has a 20x4 LCD display that's backlit.

Maybe you should try searching a little yourself, too. :)
