I use a Focus 14 with my iPhone. And it works fine. I have never heard of a 24 or 32 crl display. The Focus 14 costs around $1300. Plus, it's very portable. Unless you have a Braillenote 18, that's the oqy one I can think of. I think APH has a braille display that might work. Check there. Being partially deaf, I hfound braille to be a lifesaver. I use it in combination with speech at times.
