Quoted from TheLaw:

Like all LCD vs. LED discussions; just shit or get off the pot

Currently reading this thread while doing so

Quoted from bobukcat:

That looks like my game and it only has this issue because I have the LED backpanel mod installed in the game, wouldn't be an issue with the stock Flourescent tube, not sure about the LED strip used in Spike games.

How does the larger lcd fit with the led upgraded bg? I have a led backbox kit on my iron Man and this may change my opinion if I take the plunge ....

Any insight is helpful

Quoted from bobukcat:

No fit problems at all, just the issue you see in the photo above where you get a slight shadow effect from the LCD panel. I have mine set to go really dark when in a game so you only notice it during attract mode and even then it's not real obvious because I don't have the panel cranked up real high, if it were brighter I imagine it would be more noticeable.

Would you be able to snap a picture with the translite off?

Seeing it might make it more clear for me....

Appreciate any help

Quoted from HectorCM:

@goatdan I'm pulling the trigger for a LCD ColorDmd for my Metallica premium...should I also get the Gasket for glare? (As I read here is important for a game like Ghostbusters? Or is it not necessary?)
Thank you!!!

If your back box old wood with square speakers or metal with circle speakers?
