Are there lathe specific DRO displays?

[Investigator]

I'm going to buy a DRO for my 12" Logan. I have a 3 axis set to put on my B'port clone when (if) i get the rebuild complete. I can get the same display for the lathe, which at first I thought might be a good idea. But, looking at the display there are many functions that are not appropriate for a lathe. Basically what I want is a simple counter for 3 axis (I'm going to put a scale on my turret). An uncluttered display is what i'm looking for. And to complicate the search even more, I'm looking in the budget range from *'bay and Amazon.
Open to suggestions

There are two-axis displays available. If you get a three axis DRO it will likely be configured for a mill because, well mills have three axes.
Another option (and the one I took) is to look at TouchDRO as it has dedicated lathe functionality. I don't know if the lathe configuration will allow for three axes.

You could ask in the TouchDRO channel.

I have the TouchDRO on my lathe. I have three axes as I also included the tailstock. On my RF30 clone, I have a Grizzly 3 axis DRO, similar to the Easson units. It has the linear hole and bolt hole patterns, and the arc cut and inclined cut functions which wouldn't be of use on a lathe but they are not intrusive.

Right, the ones configured for a mill are the ones I've found. Just looks like all the 'extra' buttons make it 'too busy'. Maybe a LCD display?
