    VFD vs LCD

    I'm looking to buy an antec media case but the black one comes with an LCD display and the silver with a VFD display. What is the difference and which is better?

    Cheers

    Top one is VFD
    A lot of LCD's have a backlight on them though.

    If it's a smaller display like what Agent linked then I'd go VFD for HTPC use, purely for visibility reasons.

    yeah it's for a media centre PC I'm planning. For some reason the Antec case I want the black one comes with a LCD and the Silver with a VFD which confused the hell out of me.

    Cheers for the advice guys.

    An LCD can sometimes better when the ambient light is high - and as Agent says, many have a backlight anyway.
