 This
is our fourth Matrix Orbital display review. Their excellent features,
performance and reliability earned them all our highest recommendation.
After reviewing the excellent MX2 LCD module, we just couldn't see how they
can possibly make them any better. We'll they have, and in a big way!
This improved model is loaded with amazing new features and is said to
included a more user friendly version of LCDC. We got our hands on one from Matrix Orbital and we'll be
putting it to the test as well as point out all the added new features.

The
unit came in the usual white box we are now quite familiar with. The
surprise was what was inside. This improved version of the MX2 now
comes in a nice box with a mini CDR containing drivers and software.
We also received a bunch of extra goodies which we will look at in detail in a
bit. These include an internal USB cable, an LED Indicator bus and some
temperature sensors. We knew we were in for a real treat!
