Just installed the LCD on my "new to me" ST vault - color makes a huge difference on the animations on this game. I like the "tile" setting. Haven't been bothered by the gap yet but may added some black foam in the future.
My LoTRs came with a LCD set on smoothing, thinking of changing to "tile".
I really dislike the directional aspect of LEDs. Bothers my eyes. LCD is easier on the eyes IMO.
Recently went to Logan Airport and all the signage is now LEDs, too bright and searing on the eyeballs.
