Slightly different view
But I also have a CrossCity-e and I know what you mean about the LEDs being easy to see
However, I also have a Raleigh Motus with the Purion LCD display - small, basic but easy to see in any weather and lighting
I do have problems with phones in bright light - my old one was useless but even the new one os difficult.
My point is that I thing there are some dedicated LCD screen that have big bold letters and are easy to see, Naturally this reduces the amount of data that can be displayed - but then, how much do you need?
I honestly find it easy to glance at my Motus display and pick up power levels and assist levels - trhan I do with the LCDs on the CrossCItye
