Another week, another LCD. The alphanumeric display just didn't have enough screen real estate, and bargraphs would have been difficult to render.
The Nokia 5110 display (aka the 4884) is on eBay at rock bottom prices just now and although it's a 3.3v device, it works just fine at 5v. It has 48 pixels up and down and 84 pixels left to right. There's no built in character set so you have to create this in your sketch, but examples abound on various Arduino sites.
