The LCD display information on the GPU temperature and fan speed. It's side-lit from the left and right by two very bright blue LEDs that tend to glare a little when you're reading the display but which also serve to add a fair amount of lighting to your case's innards which may have been the motivation behind the switch to a transparent housing.

LCD Display

 

 

In addition to the LCD display there are two pushbuttons and a small selector switch. The switch should be fairly self-explanatory, it's function being to display GPU temperatures in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.

C/F Selector

 

The display isn't particularly clear or contrasty, though to be fair it's not as bad as it appears in the picture. It is however perfectly readable from a reasonable angle of view.

Display Lit

 

And the angle of view can be varied depending on your case orientation. There are three positions available with locking holes which locate with small lugs on the side of the housing.

Display Detents

 

It's hardly high-tech, and I think detents would have operated much smoother than actual holes, but it works and you're unlikely to be changing the position every few minutes so it's not a massive problem I suppose.

Display Positions

 

An finally there's that fan I mentioned. Prolink call it a Plasma Display Fan, most of use will know it under its more common name, a blue LED fan.
