As long as you are willing to use a micro controller, I think the best way to make a status display is to have to controller maintain a web page. Then just about any pock device you own can look at the status page. Sometimes it makes sense to put an LCD on a device. I think only if the user spends time right there near the device. A microwave oven is a good example. But if the user is not there looking better i think to simply make a web page.
