474 | Tag Rename: lcdscreen -> lcd-screen
to make reading tags easier, I propose to swap lcdscreen to lcd-screen, in line with x-axis and others.
Makes sense to me. @0scar should be able to easily make the change, if he wants to.
For better readability, the tag has been updated to include a hyphen: lcd-screen.
