Quoted from Arcade:They are both great.
However, and this may just be me. On the LED version I saw on an X-Men, the blues and to some extent the red appeared blurry to my eye. Almost as it were creating a halo effect around the object or score.
I do not see this on the LCD version.
This... Especially in attract mode the red and blue text make me think I need glasses.
After ordering a LCD for met I decided to try a LED in SM.
The problem for me is the LED dots are too small - piercing. Like super sharp pencil tips pointing at you. This highlights the gap between the LEDs. Plus as previously mentioned there is a rainbow halo from each dot. Some of the art on the LED isn't too bad with this, but other scenes are not so great. The brightness is just too much, even turned down. I have already ordered a LCD to replace it with and will be sending the LED back, unfortunately.
The Met Prem with the LCD is set to hires mode and is sitting next to a POTC with the original amber DMD which is next to a SMVE with the color LED and finally a ST with the original Stern red LED. My favorites are the LCD on hires following by the good old fashioned amber DMD, followed by the color LED and finally the stern red LED. Personally, I don't like the stern red LED at all. Since colordmd doesn't have a rom for ST yet (ever?) I wish I could put an amber DMD in ST just to see what it would look like. The temptation is there to keep the color LED and reset it to stock to use in ST, but I am not going to spend $400 for a display just to have single different color. If Randy ever manages to get a colorized rom for ST I will be all over it.
