You, of course you do. It just depends on how you set your I/O
channels (stdin, stdout and stderr).

When I type blind, the U-Boot acts normally( e.g reset or run bcmd_flash).
But nothing happens if I do a"setenv stdout lcd".
What could the reason be?

You have to assign the I/O channels to the devices you want to use,
that's all.
