    Fairly decent for the money

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Works with the UNO board without much effort, nice bright screen with adjustable pot on the top of the board. Also has soldering contacts on the top of the board which are marked for easy modding and building into a housing unit.
    Cons:
    While it works with the UNO the pins used in the example sketches are different than the pins used on this board so you have to...

    worth the money

    posted by Alver on 05/09/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    It´s a fun human-machine interface to arduino, kind of retro.. I can say that its pros are: It actually works with the Mega 2560. It´s educative. Display is brilliant.
    Cons:
    Not plug and play, had to invest some time, actually 2 hours to get it working properly. Had to google for documentation and ev...

    Involvement:Novice  (still getting used to it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Works Great the display, still haven't test the buttons Nice and elegant Display, not the green common one.
    Cons:
    I had to wire it instead of using it as a Shield on the Arduino Mega, because apparently the diagram was wrong

    Good, but no Cyrillic support.

    posted by pz3999 on 04/20/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Cheap enough (could be cheaper, but still). Very easy to use, snaps right onto the Arduino (mine's an Uno), bright, easy to read, uses the Standard LiquidCrystal library, but, as somebody else mentioned, use LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7); at setup. Th...
    Cons:
    To my surprise, the display on this shield does NOT support Cyrillic, so it's not very suitable for Europe and Russia. The shie...

    posted by Vockhead on 04/17/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    - Really easy to use, can just throw it onto the Arduino (Uno in my case) or you can connect it via wires if you would like to keep the pins free. -Buttons work perfectly, display is clear and crisp.
    Cons:
    - Trimmer pot for backlight was initially turned all the way and had no light or signal coming out, had to play with it a bit t...

    posted by Jdanielse on 04/10/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Works almost immediatly using either arduino liquidcristal library or a shield library from an other vendor. Has a crisp, bright image and affective key readout.
    Cons:
    Position of the reset button is stupid. The led control throuhg pin 10 contains a design flaw (check other internet sources). T...
