A Text Panel is an LCD panel that, despite its name, can also display images and scripts. For alternative blocks, see LCD Panels.

Usage

On large grid, you choose the Text Panel when you need something that looks like a wall-mounted TV or computer screen. If you want to display images, the large-grid Text LCD works best with the built-in posters whose names end in "H" or "V" (for horizontal or vertical rotation).

On small grid, you could, for example, place these tiny square display surfaces in front of your cockpit so you can see them well while seated, to create a custom display array of flight and status information around you. Change the background colour and add a warning text to use them as warning lights.

For detailed LCD configuration and usage, see LCD Surface Options.

Construction

On large grid, it is rectangular and does not fully cover the side of a 1x1x1 block and therefor it has only three mount points. On small grid it is a full 1x1x1 square, the smallest possible LCD block in game, with five mount points.
