+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.
+
