I was looking at several different small, color OLED, AMOLED, TFT, and LCD displays and am wondering if Aquacomputer will consider updating the OLED displays they put into the D5 Next, High Flow Next, Leakshield, etc. The displays are a nice feature but they are seriously outdated. I have read many posts from people who, like me, leave them off or on minimum brightness due to worries about burn-in. I don’t know if current generation color OLED displays suffer from burn-in but even if they do, they are still a lot nicer looking than what Aquacomputer is using in their products. There are also LED, TFT, and AMOLED color displays. These little color displays are typically under $20 each and likely much less in bulk quantities. Does anyone else feels that the OLED displays in the Aquacomputer products should be replaced with a nice color display? I think it would be a great improvement that would at most add a few dollars to the cost of the products.

Some examples:

Color TFT Displays

They are quite small. I measured the display area at ~1.0"W x 0.5" high so ~1.118" diagonal. I have read posts from some who feel that the displays are pointless, at least on a CPU block. For devices like the D5 Next and LKS that may get powered up for loop testing while the main system is not powered, the displays are more useful since they allow the user to configure the device locally while AQS is offline, I don't know what the resolution of the Aquacomputer display is but something like THIS little guy is about the same size. Its resolution is 135x240 and it costs a whopping $3.27 USD. It uses 4-wire serial SPI which may or may not be what the current displays use.

I agree that if anything should get a bigger, higher resolution color display, its the Vision. There have been several posts on the German thread asking about this. The coolest, and most ridiculous CPU block display I have seen is the Barrowch FBLTHD series. They are 2.9" (diagonal ?), 1440x1440, with an HDMI input. You can even display the Windows desktop on it (which is cool but ridiculous).
