Not bagging on anyone's suggestions here, but Why in the heck do manufacturers insist on using tiny little VF displays, replete with millions of even tinier little icons?

Just make the GD thing big enough so I can read it from across the room. If it's too bright, then allow dimming or defeat (via remote so I don't have to get up).

4x as big or bigger would be nice; and if VF is too gaudy looking that big then use something else.

Everything is done by remote now-a-days anyway. I don't use 95% of the controls on my current unit's front panel. Just give a couple big-ass knobs to select input and volume when actually at the machine, AND a big-ass display. That's it! OK, maybe a power button too.

Don't even think about any sort of gay JVC car stereo videos or screen-savers. Information only, in English, not abbreviations, scrolling text and hieroglyphics.
