Color DMD easily. Twilight Zone already has one of the best sound packages in pinball. Pinsound can improve the mix a bit, but no alternative sound package I've heard comes even close to sounding as good as the original.

I'd go with the LCD simply because you can customize it a lot more and it's high-res enough that you don't really see the pixels unless you get up close, so it looks pretty much the same as a standard DMD (But in color of course!).

Quoted from PtownPin:

Not sure what you've heard or not heard, but the sound quality of the pinsound mixes far exceeds the original

Well I made a thread about this a while back but higher sound quality doesn't necessarily equal better sound design. Twilight Zone's FM synth music and sounds are incredible even if it's not realistic sounding (Heck, I have some of the game's soundtrack in my music library!), and while the sample quality stinks, that doesn't change the fact that the callouts are still great. I've heard Chris Granner's DCS mix before and while good, I don't enjoy it as much as the original. Obviously that's just my opinion though, so op should definitely give the different Pinsound mixes available a listen before making their decision. If you ask me though, I'd efinitely go Color DMD first, then speaker upgrades, and then Pinsound if still not satisfied.
