Quoted from Fytr:

Sure, here are a bunch.

These also have the added benefit of blocking the glare coming up from the playfield lights up onto the color display. Very important for games with spotlights.

Decided to try a color LED after being very happy with my first two color LCDs.

Unfortunately, the display arrived with two broken pixels, one on each half of the display. Hoping Randy will make it right, but a very disappointing first experience with the LED version.

I'd recommend if you have the LED version to go into DMD test and confirm that you don't have any bad pixels. It can be very hard to tell during normal gameplay.

Quoted from chrisnack:

How do you go into DMD test?

Just use the regular settings/menu for the pinball machine and search for the test (buttons inside coin door).

Just wanted to follow up on this.

Randy and Doug at ColorDMD were absolutely fantastic to deal with and resolved this issue completely, at zero cost to me.

A+ customer service, great job guys!

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Not all games - later model games like SS and MB look phenomenal in scan mode - it’s a good combo between dots and the hires

Disagree, scan mode looks terrible on all games to me. Just not a fan of the "smoothing" that creates jagged ridged edges.
