Thanks in advance A free sample of an expensive LCD would be even better !! My suggestion would be to contact an electronic repair shop or recycler and ask if they have any dead fax machines/photocopiers. They almost always have an LCD, as do many printers and some keyboards. I've a box full of them (no, you can't have one) ranging from 16x1 to 40x2, all free.
