    You can get a PIN2DMD color LED display kit for about $180 and program it yourself. That's what I would suggest if you're concerned about price.

    Quoted from Taxman:

    Because there is no comparison.
    Sorry, those 4 color mode palettes look like garbage. Maybe it makes some screens a little more interesting than orange but many screens it just looks stupid because the 4 color pallet just does not fit what colors should be there.
    To save a few dollars and have to go through the hassle of pretty much building it yourself rather than a nice plug and play system. ColorDMD also offers nice blending modes on the LCD version, a massive library of full colored supported games and support that can't be beat.
    It is cute to tell someone how wonderful it is to program it yourself. But from the questions I see from people about trying to get them to work I think many of these things have been abandoned and tossed in a drawer out of frustration.

    Good points, but I was only suggesting based strictly on price, not implying one replaces the other based on ease of setup/features.
