Says 'chroma' on it somewhere - but the obvious tell is if the USB port is mounted perpendicular to the board, instead off off the end.

It will say CHROMA Ax beneath the ColorDMD logo.

Older boards say REV 1.2 or 1.3x near the edge of the board.

Has anyone ever cut off the 2 middle screws so the colordmd would sit flush? Seems like someone would have tried it by now.

Picture of the board. You can see "Chroma" below the ColorDMD logo.

No contest. LCD just gives so much more flexibility. I'd only take LED in a Slugfest or CV where I HAD to.

Been waiting for this one for a LONG time. Friday can't come soon enough!

Now that there's a gasket for the LCD screens that seals the screen area from dust and light, finish isn't so much an issue anymore.

Pretty sure I will be watching the animations often on this one during the Houston Arcade & Pinball Expo this weekend. The video preview looks awesome. Congrats ColorDMD capturing the color on this one.

Isn't there a new hardware display being announced at expo as well? This is a must for my GB, but I wanted to see what was available to decide what looked good, etc.

I would like to see a video how it looks with LCD vs LED.
That would be pretty cool.

Randy usually sets up a LCD and an LED display next to each other running the same content on the table at his booth -- if you're going to expo, that might be there.

I can't go to expo... The distance..
So hope that someone or maybe the colordmd Team can provide a "vs" Video. So that we made a dessicion which one wie should buy

I just rushed to adapt LCD from another machine into GB, then went to d/l the update and see that the firmware is not released yet, ha. No, I didn't read the full announcement. Anyway, sigma looks pretty nice for now, and I'm ready to go.

For those that might want to adapt one yourself, it's pretty easy if you have a little hardware lying around. I trimmed the bottom middle bolt down about 1/4" with dremel, installed lock nuts on bottom corner bolts about 1/3rd down for display to sit on, lock nuts on top corner screws about halfway down and small hex spacers on top of those, popped the display in, two nuts at the bottom and two machine screws at the top to hold it, done.

Ooh...I would never cut a machine to make a permanent change if I could avoid it. You can install it with inexpensive standoffs you can get at a hardware store or buy for $8 from ColorDMD.

Come on, the tip of a bolt... doesn't affect anything. That's what I was thinking anyway...

I'm not worried that my permanent change affects the value, lol...
