I chose to use a cheap LCD display for this project for two reasons, firstly because I don't really know what I'm doing and don't want to break an expensive one, and secondly I'm hoping cheap

Unfortunately most LCDs do not come with PCB friendly connectors which means that it is necessary to hand solder some form of connector onto the front. This is simple but care must be taken not to melt any of the near by plastic when soldering as the pads are very close to the bezel.
The underside of the module is impressive to look at but the main reason for showing it is to illustrate the soldering of the connectors to the panel.
