Even though the HUD seemed a little barroque in the viewscreen shot, I haver to say that I don't like the idea of just a screen with not even one indicator or blinking light. I guess that a better base than most of cgi-fever PT tech would be the viewscreen shown at the very beginning of TPM, the one inside QuiGonn and ObiWan's shuttle. It has plenty of lights and looks quite retro, actually; one of the very few things that look OTish in PT.
If Ady says he's ok with it being just a viewscreen, of course it's his call.
