Upgrading front display

I saw a post somewhere but I cant remember where for an LCD upgrade to a better resolution display. Anyone know where I can get a better display for the mk3S+? And I am talking about the stock display and not a RP display.

RE: Upgrading front display

I use a White on Black LCD assembly from Printedsolid.com. That looks better than the standard white on blue. The assembly is complete and ready to install.

The LCD itself uses a standard interface. Which means that it is possible to desolder it from the board and experiment with other 20 x 4 LCD displays and even a 20 x 4 VFD. Other LCDs can be Black on White or Orange on Black... there are many options.

I saw a post once where someone had mounted a VFD to a Prusa and it looked pretty cool.

I'm not very good at English either! Maybe someday I'll find a language I'm good at?

VFD = Vacuum Florescent Display. A crisp, usually bluish white display, used to be common in 80's and 90's until LCDs got good enough to mimic them.
