I played a couple Stern ColorDMD pins at Expo this week. I didn't like them at all. Some of the DMD graphics didn't look like they converted well from dot-based to blended. Just a personal preference. I also never cared for the "eagle" graphics effects that were popular for a while in MAME arcade setups. This looks like almost exactly the same technique.

IMHO that would look much better as dots. Other than that having a color choice would be fantastic! It would be much better than the gridlines from the LEDs they use now.

Thanks for posting the differences. Can't make out the scanlines but I really still think I like the dots the best. Just looks "right" where the upscaling doesn't always look good for some of the animations.
