Feast your eyeballs on the magic of the Color Display by LED OCD

That looks awesome. Thank you PM_Jeremy for the video and herg for making this happen!

Thanks, also thanks to Tallon as he did the install & it's his machine. Oh he's a better AMH player than I am too

On the waiting list!

Here's the instructional video - a bit long at 15 min but Tallon did a great job with the install.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It was a fun change of pace for me to be the camera man

You did a great job jumping over the hurdles and bringing this neat mod to the market.

Any update on this?

Actually pretty good info and happy to know it. Keep it up.

Afaik the display worked perfectly the whole show. The game was positioned in a prime spot within Kinpin's 5000 sq ft "booth". Here's a pic taken during Friday setup.

The AMH side cab art really stands out at a distance.

It's almost as if I was once in the sign industry!

I'm still looking forward to getting the kit but I was a bit disappointed after seeing it at MGC. Basically, just wasn't "wow'd" by the coloring jobs. I realize this is understandable given that the game was originally intended to be released as mono so there wasn't time put into it (you can see it in the video link above as well). The color palette is kind of flat. I'm hoping that there will be an option for someone to come in and update the graphic files later with better colorization. I gently poked EP about it at MGC but he says his time is going to be pretty maxed out with other projects for the foreseeable future.

Why don't you?

Wish I had that kind of talent. I'm not artistic enough... just an engineer. I took at stab at a ColorDMD project once but I couldn't do it justice. EP has the touch though and does amazing work. Based on herg's post above, he doesn't have the touch either. But it sounds like it's ripe if we can find someone who does!

Awesome to hear Herg. If a talent doesn't present itself, maybe I can eventually prod Eric in it...

I have all the original files, it's all Adobe Premiere and After Effects files.

Most of it is black & white but since everything is in animation layers would be much much easier to colorized than tracing over flattened dots.

Your honesty and efforts with this project are very much appreciated. While someone with more of an artistic background may be able to put more detail in the colorization, what you were able to do is still so much better than what we're used to with the original display. Can't wait to get mine!

So you are going to sit and complain, but expect someone else to do all the work for you, for free? Sounds like pinside...

I think it looks good to me better than i could of done and we should all thank herg for all the work done so far. If someone else add's to it later on even better.

Everything can't always be sunshine and rainbows. If everyone was just a yes man, nothing would ever improve. If there is enough demand for better dots, maybe something will eventually come of it. I am still excited to get my display installed! I never thought a color display would ever be made available for AMH.

Indeed color dmd do it lol But i think one herg is doing is fine but could use some polish by a graphics guy.

You are right, not everything is sunshine and rainbows, but whining when you aren't willing to step up is too common in this hobby. There is no reason he can't put in the work. Nothing is stopping him. Saying that you will bug someone else to do it for you is just a cop out. Complaining that an aftermarket mod that was never a part of the original release is not good enough when it was started up front that someone else can take up the torch is pathetic.

Looks awesome to me. I'm on the wait list, so if anyone gets their Color display and doesn't like the dots, I will gladly take it off your hands

That would be because Tallon has been tied up on other games that didn't get done because of MGC. Everything is still working great. The game did really well at the show. Thanks to Chris for letting me throw it over in his area for the show. I honestly had trouble getting to it most of the weekend, it was played a lot and I think everyone enjoyed it. I'm not sure most people realized it had a color upgrade. I was told not to put signage up as all the displays were sold.

On a side note, I did remember one thing I forgot to mention in the install video. The original display cord can be removed from the MPU as its no longer needed. I remembered when I setup at MGC and when I got home as it hangs down and got in the way of setting the game up.

#67 is paid and thanks again for doing this.

I appreciate the updates. Looking forward to this!

Paid up. Will install as soon as it arrives at my location. Thanks!

Paid and "patiently" waiting. Thanks again for doing this.

When I placed my deposit the number 36 is shown in the description on the receipt - is that my place in line? Just curious.

Glad these are starting to ship. I’m really looking forward to it. Awesome work!

Paid and just sent an email asking for the used display. Was playing this last night and stoked to get the upgrade. Now if i could just fix my trough switch problems and get the ghost magnet to release the ball to the flipper and not sdtm...

Paid up this morning. Thanks again for making these available to us, herg!

You can adjust to "fling" the ball in service mode. Have you tried that? Mine had the same issue with factory settings. Now, with that adjustment... sdtm off the magnet rarely happens .

Brian

Except then you can say ‘hold my beer’ first. Nice...

It does. I was messing with it this weekend. Fling makes it better. Ben said to check to see if anything was diverting as it fell, nope. It rolls smooth as glass, sdtm lol. Will probably just leave it on fling and live with the cheap drains.

Arrived. Will head down shortly to install and try to stream it as well.

That would be great!

Installation was a piece of cake, getting decent internet at my location was not. Took a few hours to dial in settings for my streaming rig at the location, but I had a good game beating 5 of the modes which should give you a pretty good idea about a lot of the animations in the game. The battery dies at one point during the video on the player cam but the playfield and display kept chugging along.

This next game I had far better multiball play and fewer modes and I qualified and started Bumps in the Night although I didn't do much with it. Player cam was still out but again you should see a lot of the game's animations.

Yes and thank you a ton for putting in the time and taking the risk to make this happen. Game got played pretty much all night even after we cut the stream off.

Great to see this starting to come out, big thanks to you @herg. I haven't received the invoice yet, just checking that they haven't been sent out to everyone yet, right?
