I just got a new led screen but i dont know how to use or set it up


Where did you get it from and how was it described ?

That's because you haven't done any research and haven't made any attempt yet.

it was in a kit

It's not an LED; it's n LCD. By the part number and look, it's a "standard" 16character by 2 line display, and you can drive it with the Arduino "LCD" library in either 4bit or 8bit mode.

You may follow these procedures to operate your LCD:
1. Make connection between LCD and UNO as per Fig-1.

2. Open the following sketch from Examples of IDE:
File ---> Examples ---> LiquidCrystal ---> HelloWorld

3. Edit the sketch of Step-2 to comply with the DPins of Fig-1.
4. Uplaod sketch of Step-3.
5. Check that the LCD shows the following message on Top Line and then shows elapsed time at 1-sec interval on Bottom Line:

hello, world!

6. Connect LM35 temperature Sensor with UNO as per Fig-1. Create sketch to show room temperature on the LCD (as shown in Fig-1) at 1-sec interval.
