Mood lamp/clock with some gimmics

First part of this moodlamp is done, figuring out how to use the TLC5916 chips.
So now i wanna make something with LCD, but what LCD should i look for? it needs to be easy to read at night, i allready have a cheap 16x2 LCD, but its viewing angle is like 15 degress.
And it should be big enough to incorporate a simple menu system.
