145 decrease the value.

310 Most LCDs use a standard controller which supports hardware lines of 40
311 characters, although sometimes only 16, 20 or 24 of them are really wired

313 and is the case for most parallel LCDs. Other LCDs, and some serial ones,
314 however, use the same line width internally as what is visible. The KS0074
315 for example, uses 16 characters per line for 16 visible characters per line.
