[Asterisk-Users] Hard Phone Screens - newbie question

[Bill Wesson]

Hello all,

Is there an advantage to purchasing a VOIP hard phone with a display for use
with Asterisk versus a hard phone without a display? Are there some creative
uses of the screen or is it pretty generic?

Would anyone have a URL reference for the basics of how the screen works? Is
it a web page and the buttons are independently programmed to match the
screen presentation, or what? I know the question is incredibly basic, but
in my reading of VOIP-INFO.com and other sites, I have not seen much info
about this topic.

Thanks,
--Bill
