Quoted from slicknick13:Bless your heart for thinking Stern decided to put more expensive equipment in the games for the consumers benefit.
The node boards are easily in the tens of dollars range for them, and they're saving a boatload on copper wiring.
Also, LCD's are likely way cheaper than a DMD if only because the market is wider.
Exactly!! Never confuse what Stern sells a part for with what their cost is!
