Witch basically translate into stop being a smart ass and just do
this :)

from tkinter import *

def weegbrug():
    with open('com1','r') as f:
         for l in f:
             v.set(l[2:-1])
    root.after(500, weegbrug)

root = Tk()
v = StringVar()
v.set("00000")
txt = Label(root, textvariable=v, width=800, height=600, bg="yellow",
font=("Helvetica", 300))
txt.pack(expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
root.title("weegbrug")
root.overrideredirect(1)
root.geometry("%dx%d+0+0" % (root.winfo_screenwidth(),
root.winfo_screenheight()))
root.after(500, weegbrug)
root.mainloop()
