I can't imagine that an LCD would give you trouble with its relatively minor deficiency in detail. You'd get worse on a crt.

LEDs have a burn-in because of their limited lifetime. Try LCD.

LCD burn-in can be mitigated by flashing a checkered pattern across the screen. Maybe program your thing to use a checkered pattern as a screensaver? Or just flash it at odd hours when nobody is expected to see it?

Hey guys thanks for your help. Sorry I was out walking the dog.

Anyway I'm not too familiar with the exact name of what I'd like to use, but ideally I want something very cheap and minimal only capable of displaying some refreshing numbers and a graph. Something like this, but larger:

Get one of those cheap 40 dollar chinese tablets from alibaba and write an app that does your thing? Any sort of reasonable resolution OLED display would cost you way more than that and you'd need to add some sort of confuser to it anyway to actually run it.

For long-term display with no bscklighting you can't beat eInk or chLCD. Sparkfun used to sell both but (as usual) don't sell it now that the fad's over.

If you're going to use the one like in your pic good luck spending shit tons of hours making custom libraries and functions to out put exactly what you want.

fuck adafruit man shitting out a breakout board for alibaba bulk junk and marking it up 500% doesn't make you a hero.

Get a 10$ flatscreen from the thriftstore. Connect it the the vga port on your videocard that you're not using anyway. If it burns in (which it won't) get a new 10$ screen. Might want to check the power usage on those things though.
