With the samples we have for this particular game it's not even close IMO. ColorDMD is easily the choice I would make.

Darker? You mean less washed out and shaded? Regular colored dots can look dark because of all the black space...but throw it in any other mode and it's not. Have you seen one in person?

Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

Still better then not being able to edit anything at all IMO. If ColorDMD gave the option to change the colours, it would be the clear winner hands down. But I'm leaning more towards SmartDMD because of this colour changing feature.

ColorDMD looks so good there is nothing to change...

Quoted from Magic_Mike:

I would lean towards Color DMD.
The artwork dots are more detailed. Smart DMD dot colors look washed out.
However, the upscaling feature in both products looks like crap, in my opinion.

Have you seen "tile" mode? It's like dots but brighter and better! I agree that the other up scaling looks worse than dots, but check out tile.

Quoted from Magic_Mike:

Are there any posted pictures of this "tile" feature?

Could only find this one...not the best example, but you get the idea.

Quoted from Grinder901:

Come on, it's clear that Aurich is partial to one maker over the other.

I actually reached out to both companies and didn't get a response from either.

Just look at the examples and judge for yourself. To me it's clear.
