Williams, 1992Quoted from RobT:Great product. Great company.
I just installed a ColorDMD this weekend, and it is absolutely one of the best mods I've ever seen. Definitely worth the money.
Great product. Great company. Great communication. Great after-sale support. 
Amazing product. I'm seeing things on lotr I haven't seen in several years of ownership and at least 1000 plays.
Quoted from z28dan:I just updated my MM, WOW, it's like going from 720 to 1080p
Thanks guys, now just waiting for 5 more updates.))
720 to 1080 isn't that dramatic for most systems. Unless you sit 5' away from a 65" display anyway.
Quoted from someoneelse:Gotta love how ColorDMD is reacting to SmartDMDs "declaration of war" ( ) from the SmartDMD thread.
why go there, no need to bring that up or to this thread. 
In one of the other ColorDMD threads, someone mentioned a random mode choice because they couldn't choose which they liked best. 
I thought it was funny since I'm on the fence between SCAN and TILE on one of the games I'm beta testing. Maybe once it's released, you guys will be able to help me make a decision.
Quoted from TaylorVA:The DW looks nice in the the scan mode but the characters in the Lock animation look bizarre. A bit creepy.
This. In Tile or 8bit mode they look a bit like Minecraft creepers.

When you upload 3.0 what does it default to? I just left it in that mode as I assumed it was the newest one.

SCAN. Since we're going from only DOTS to a choice between five different modes, all of the new ones are the "newest". SCAN is the most advanced, but like you guys mentioned, sometimes there's just not enough to work with. In those cases, the results can be a bit funky.

thanks. I have always just kept it in Dots but will have to check out the other choices.
Quoted from TaylorVA:When you upload 3.0 what does it default to? I just left it in that mode as I assumed it was the newest one.
Not sure but I think the default is dots. I like the brightness the non-dots brings, and like someone else mentioned I like the scan mode in many places, just not all. I'm liking TILE more and more for DW. Also, even though we just released this update, I worked on a sprite fix last night and tested the build this morning. So it is possible another DW update will be coming. Once you make these, you want them as perfect as possible. The DW 3.0 update was more than just the addition of hires/scan features, I fixed a couple small bugs as well.
Quoted from msj2222:what the difference between scan & hires?
Hires does the upscaling equally so colors will be solid. Scan applies thin scan lines to the medium pixels thus adding a bit of texture. Just try the different modes and you'll quickly see the difference. On certain sequences it won't be as noticeable as others.
sorry I scanned through the last few pages and couldn't find anything... IS H2O able for the upscaling update yet?

Nope.

Thanks a lot for all your work on this title. Come up to RVA and let me buy you a beer or two.
If you're wondering about a particular game, it's probably easiest to look for a 3.X ROM on the ColorDMD firmware page.

Quoted from Matt_Rasmussen:720 to 1080 isn't that dramatic for most systems. Unless you sit 5' away from a 65" display anyway.
I have to disagree. Previously had cable. They only broadcast 720.
Went with Direct tv in 1080 and the picture got dramatically better.
Almost looks 3d. Took a week or two to get used to it.
Sister even noticed a huge difference and she hardly pays attention to anything.
Either way, I'm loving how my MM display looks now!!
Quoted from Dmod:The STTNG 3.0 update is now available for download from our site!

Yeah man! Crankin' em out! Will be installing this tonight!
Quoted from Frax:Ya'll are killing me.
Doctor Who before STTNG.... no way.
It makes sense. Doctor Who, which is a superior show , was on the air several years before Star Trek.
The new mode looks great. Thanks for all your work!
Quoted from Lame33:It makes sense. Doctor Who, which is a superior show , was on the air several years before Star Trek.

Debatable, especially when comparing to TNG/DS9. I'd take any Doctor over TOS though.
Quoted from gac:Noticed that JimB said he installed 3.0 for STTNG but when I go to site, the updates listed a little over an hour ago (per above) aren't showing up. Am I missing something?
Try hitting F5?
I see this:
