+System Display (LCD)
+********************
+
+The system LCD :abbr:`LCD (Liquid-crystal display)` option is for users running
+VyOS on hardware that features an LCD display. This is typically a small display
+built in an 19 inch rack-mountable appliance. Those displays are used to show
+runtime data.
+
+To configure your LCD display you must first identify the used hardware, and
+connectivity of the display to your system. This can be any serial port
+(`ttySxx`) or serial via USB or even old parallel port interfaces.
+
+Configuration

+.. cfgcmd:: set system lcd device <device>
+
+ This is the name of the physical interface used to connect to your LCD
+ display. Tab completion is supported and it will list you all available
+ serial interface.
+
+ For serial via USB port information please refor to: :ref:`hardware_usb`.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set system lcd model <model>
