No really, not another 44780 question!

I want to knock up a tacho, to read to about 2500rpm, displaying the
result on a large 4 digit/7 segment display. If I were content with LED,
this would be trivial. Sadly, I want to read it in bright sunlight (ever
the optimist) so I need LCD. Ideally, a device with all the driver
intelligence on-board, to avoid taxing my veroboard layout skills.
Sounds like an ideal job for an alphanumeric LCD module, I know, but I
need to read it a glance, at arms length.

Am I looking for something that exists?

Thanks in advance
