How far does the LCD Color DMD stick up over the edge of a LOTR speaker panel?? I just finished making and installing a LED Backbox light panel and hadn't taken that into account as my next and final mod on the LOTR is a Color DMD.....

Quoted from j_m_:

about an inch

Quoted from bobukcat:

I have the panel with auto-dimming kit from Arcade Upkeep in my SM along with the LCD. If you watch the very first part of this video you can see the shadow the LCD creates on the translite when in attract mode and how it looks once the panel dims. I have it left at factory default settings which is pretty bright when in attract mode. I could probably modify the panel to move the bottom row of LEDs a bit higher in the middle but it doesn't bother me enough to go to that trouble. Since you made your own it might be easier for you to adjust yours.

Thanks for the help guys. Looks like it will be an LCD either way, as I showed SWMBO a video of both in action and there never was a moment of hesitation on choosing the LCD version. Time to save up some money!
