I was torn between the two for my Ghostbusters pin, but after now playing games with each an LED and LCD, I definitely prefer the LED and I am glad it's what I got. LCD is nice though...I definitely can understand the arguments in favor of each option.

Quoted from AaronZOOM:

Glad to see all the LED love here. That upscaling effect on the LCD screens just does not work for me at all. It makes all that beatiful dot-matrix art look lumpy, and it feels like a disservice to the original work. I even find the old monochromatic DMD to be preferable to the colour LCD display.
And I really just came here to say I love, love, love the LED screen in my Williams IJ. Absolute perfection![quoted image]

Honestly, I have IJ too and was torn on whether or not to put a color DMD in it. Is it worth it? I like to think that it feels better to keep it more vintage and not upgraded.

Quoted from NPO:

Purposefully choosing to not install a ColorDMD into a comparable game is like being on the verge of an orgasm, everything stopping, you waiting for 6 months, and then the deed being finished and someone telling you "You should be thanking me, you had an orgasm that lasted 6 months!!!"
Get a ColorDMD. LED version.

A simple "YES!" would have sufficed...hahahahahahaha.
