[QUOTE="Allnight, post: 567008, member: 14944"] I've been looking at adding a voltmeter, and looking at the Datel site, I see that they have an LCD version. Anybody have it? The [URL="https://www.datelmeters.com/cgi-bin/webshop.cgi?config=ent-home&uid=aaxnduwv123895732737&command=link--2-wireacdc.html"]Datel 2-wire[/URL] page shows the LED model that most people get: DMS-20PC-1-DCM ([URL="https://www.datelmeters.com/data/meters/pc0-dcms.pdf"]LED version datasheet[/URL]). However, it also shows a rather interesting looking LCD model: DMS-20LCD-0-DCM ([URL="https://www.datelmeters.com/data/meters/20lcd-01-dcm.pdf"]LCD version datasheet[/URL]). I'm not too concerned about the price difference ($50 for LED vs $30 for LCD), what seems interesting to me is the lack of glare or reflection that the LCD will have. I realize it'll be hard (maybe impossible) to read the LCD at night, but I'm not sure that this is a problem. Does anybody think it is? If backlighting is necessary, someone pointed to this [URL="https://www.lascarelectronics.com/temperaturedatalogger.php?datalogger=377"]Lascar backlit LCD[/URL]. Beyond adding a Givi E52, I haven't done much farkling, so I thought I'd see what people think of this before "digging in." [/QUOTE]
