Only the Logic Control brand of pole displays that plug into the serial port on your computer (but not the "by-pass" type) have been tested to work with DHPOS. This will require that your computer has a serial port, that you run the POLE.EXE program that comes with DHPOS, that you have a place to plug in one more power supply, and you spend $200 or more if you want a new one. For all this you get a display that will show 2 lines of 20 characters. While this usually works just make sure that you can return it if it doesn't.

Or for less money you can get something MUCH better. Look here http://keyhut.com/bigpole.htm
