I have used a pot in a few applications for an LCD display.  The problem is
that
the contrast changes with temperature.  We find that when we send a unit to
a customers site, the customer has to open up the unit and readjust the
contrast.
We have gone to an electronic contrast developed from a PWM output of our
processor.  Obviously not minimum parts count, but I guess you get what you
pay for.
