Quoted from iamabearsfan:One weird thing about LCD's is how they look when they are off...unless the machine is on, you see this ugly black screen.
I for one am not a fan of the large LCD that JJP uses. It is very functional, but it just looks odd to me. Call me a traditionalist, but I much rather the screen size used by Dutch Pinball. It's closer to the standard DMD size and aspect ratio. And the OP is right, these larger scale LCD's do look shite when powered off.
Quoted from someoneelse:That's not a prediction, that's already a known fact.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the JJP monster displays but i like what DP is doing. Also I like to keep a 80s/90s vibe in my gamerooom which does work borderline with the LCDs in DMD form factor but JJPs don't really fit in. I do realize this is not a generally valid point against big LCDs, though.
It is a valid point. I made a similar comment in post #15 above, but it seems we might be in the minority.
For me, it's just odd to see to see a TV in the back box. The JJP's just remind me of one of those visual/virtual pinball machines. I haven't had the privilege to play one yet, and I'm sure they are great and the large screen add functionality. They just look odd, that's all. I'd love to try one if one ever gets sited nearby (doubtful though, sadly pinball is dead and buried here on the Sunshine Coast).
