The HD44780 16x2 displays have been around for many years and seem likey to continue for many more, so choosng and using one in a project is no problem.
However with the few glcd based projects I have done, within 5 years the displays have become obselete, usually meaning you have to start searching for another and rewriting the driver or having to find new mounting and connectors etc etc
Are there one or two displays of modest size, say 128 x64 or greater that seem to be standing the test of time, availabilty wise, and are sensible prices ?
Only looking for text and simple mono graphics.
The EADOG units seems good, but not cheap and not served well in the UK, and athough always around the KS0108 with their dual controllers are a pain to program
thanks
