Has anyone heard of this? Module or make, hehe? Looks kind of nice to me but with the dots instead of segments it´s not super. What do you think? // J

I don't really like these dotted displays.
This model also exists/existed with "classic" segments, NY3636 (stainless steel) and NY3637 (gunmetal). But I don't know anything more about it.

Your links show dots, definitely.
I have some older images in my archive that look rather like lines:

They look a bit suspicious, don´t you think? Especially the first one with the numbers sloping down to the right...
Some photoshopwork perhaps.?!

Absolutely, contrast enhancement for the LEDs at least.
But if you look at the first one, the top segments are perfectly aligned with the background structures, looks like the module inside isn't correctly aligned.
The digits seem to float in front of the display, but that's probably because of the magnifier.
I'd love to see ONE manufacturer's photo that shows te ACTUAL item, non-photoshopped.....
