I prefer LCD in hi-res. I have the LED on CV and it looks great but I do see bleeding. I don't think I would like LED on other games as much. I'd have to try it. So far, LCD is my pick if it fits.

Quoted from Damonator:

I sold off all my ColorDMD LCDs and went 100% LED. Here's why I like the LED better:
1) cheaper
2) uses less power (very important with multiple mods)
3) colors are more vibrant and brighter
4) plug and play (I can keep my TAF light board, not cut my TFTC speaker panel, only option for CV)
5) no dark shadow at the bottom of my Stern translights
6) no ugly bezel showing at the sides of my WPC95 games
I tried keeping a mix of the LEDs and LCDs for a while, but after you see the LED in a game, the LCDs just look washed out. Even my wife noticed a big difference and she doesn't notice much about pinball (a blessing and a curse).

I have LED in my CV. Don't you notice that it seems to take a while for the LED's top become fully bright. Also, they seem blurry to me. I saw one recently in a STLE, I did not like the look. Very bright but looked blurry IMO.
