Yeah, I've heard plenty of people that tried both and actually prefer the LCD in DOTSXL mode to the LED. I think it really is preference, and I've also heard that different games are better with one or the other. I don't think it's cut and dry that one is always better than the other.

Quoted from Codeman00:

Wow...just when I had a decision made and the LED in the cart. I only have one shot at this and have no idea if my title is better with LED or LCD. I'll never have a 2nd pin to compare so I won't know what I'm missing. I do love bright sharp colors. And really want the reds to shine since it's a playing card based pin. I think LED is the way to go just because of that.

Oh yeah, sounds like LED will be good for you. Plus, you really can't go wrong. No matter which you buy, you'll be getting a big improvement.

Quoted from usesbrain:

Greetings friends, I read all 18 pages of this continuing 5 year old post. I laughed, I cried, and still trying to determine to go LCD or LED. My opinion kept changing but I think I’ve decided to go LCD because of the game—Monopoly. Stern 2001.
Don’t hate! It’s just my pins are newer and that seems more in keeping with newer Sterns. LCD should be plenty bright with less reflection.
However before I order does anybody have anything thoughts specific to Monopoly?
Thanks guys!
Richard

I would also add that once you get to newer Sterns like Walking Dead and Ghostbusters, the DMDs are super bright from the factory. And then I'd probably look at LED.
