Before I sink this much money in this I need to see what the ramps look like though. I am concerned that given the angle the ramp animations may actually look worse with the black diamond. Show us some game play with target animations and JACKPOT ramp animations please.
Quoted from beelzeboob:I can tell you all--as somebody who installed the Black Diamond material a year ago--it makes a HUGE difference in the image being projected. It's like going from a blu-ray disk to a 4k with HDR. The contrast is better, the colors pop much better because they're not washed out by the white screen, and the viewing angle from all angles is terrific because the material is designed to be used in a home theater.
Usually high contrast material works well for home theatre because it doesn't reflect off angle light well (stray lighting). Therefore if you are projecting at a 15-20 degree angle (ramps) I would really like to see how reflective the material is. Also, does it stand up to having a steel ball running on it at high speeds repeatedly as well? I am a total believer for the other surfaces. I just can't see how the ramps would work well.
The main screen in the game is just eye candy. It's the other surfaces that really matter. Targets, ramps, spinner. I really want to see some gameplay and not just the test image.
Quoted from beelzeboob:I've been playing with it for a year. You can't even tell my targets have been hit repeatedly with steel balls. With the white targets, you almost immediately had the grey/black lines across the targets. You can't see it at all with this stuff. It seems indestructable.
Believe me when I say I have no horse in this race. Don't care one iota if you get it or not. For me, I'm glad I did - it's a huge improvement.
OK I'll take your word for it.
Jecco74 add me back to the list.
Quoted from beelzeboob:I guarantee the only thing you'll be disappointed in is the price.
Oh I am... lol..
I just don't think I could source the material cheaply here up North.

Quoted from Cheeks:If you have found a successful ramp solution, then I'd like to switch to set 2 - the full set. I'll keep watching for more details.

Please remove me from the list. By the time this gets sorted out I will have sold the game. Been waiting months at this point. That and the more I play it the more I realize I really don't need this.
