This is a very nice 20 column, 4 line display from Addicore - big and easy to read. I've ordered several things from them recently and have been pleased. They have free mailing in the U.S. for orders over $25 and are quick and responsive. Recommended....
Here is what it looks like when up and running on the MSP430F5529 LaunchPad.
Note that this is a 5V device! I've translated signals using BS170 MOSFETs and the following circuit.
I got it up and running easily using a library from DFRobot.
Here is the test code running in the display above.
//Using library from DFRobot.com
//Compatible with the Arduino IDE 1.0
//Library version:1.1
/*
* 20x4 Serial LCD from Addicore
* https://www.addicore.com/2004-20x4-Character-LCD-with-I2C-backpack-p/157.htm
* Tested on MSP430F5529LP
* NOTE: This is a 5V device!
* Need to translate 3V3 <---> 5V (used two BS170 MOSFETs)

lcd.print("First line");
}
void loop()
{
// LINE 1 - Number of columns
// set the cursor to column 0, line 1
// (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("Second line");
// LINE 2 - ENERGIA
lcd.setCursor(0, 2);
lcd.print("Third line");
// LINE 3 - Count seconds
lcd.setCursor(0, 3);
lcd.print("Time since reset:");
// print the number of seconds since reset:
lcd.print(millis()/1000);
