Quoted from FlippyD:

I'll try and capture some pics or video this weekend however the LEDs don't record very well because they are so bright. Definitely more impressive in person. I'd say if you want it to feel more "factory" then go LED. If you like pixel smoothing or are keeping the incandescent lighting then the LCD would be good choice since it's not overly bright.
I'm 100% happy I made the switch though!

Love the way they fit into the game as LCD is a bit clunky although you don't see that of course as hidden in game.

LED's are very bright - how dimmable are they in the settings?

LED into my TWD.

One pic is brightness 9 , other is set at 2.

Big difference.

Wow, this really modernizes the game.

Love the fit of the LED.

I have LCD in another game so will try and decide which I like best.

Quoted from nocreditdot:

I agree with this. I prefer the hi res myself. Its all a preference thing. It seems to be a 50 50 split between hires and dots with people.

Hmmm, I have LED in my TWD and am not liking it that much.

Hi-res on SM is awesome.

Wonder what LED would be like on B/W 90's games?

Is it normal to see edge of frame on the LCD on a WPC95 game?

If so, I guess black tape on the silver edge will hide it? Or beer seal tape?
