I don't agree with the statement in that link about only using the top of the rich segment. I think he's talking about automotive use. I mainly use the bottom of my 10 segment LED meter to lean for best economy, so I don't think a four segment LED is what I would choose for airplane usage, but if you're just trying to get close, that MIGHT do you. Details on what I have are at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/o2meter/ , and it is daylight readable in all but direct sunlight (in which case I can just shade it with my hand for a second, but that's either rare or I do it without thinking...not sure which. I flew for four hours yesterday with only the bottom of mine blinking on occasion, and I'm pretty sure the one mentioned would never allow you to do that...
