You beat me to it, but just in case people still don't see it, here's a different take on the same spot. While minor and difficult to see without a discerning eye, it's definitely ghosting or beginning to ghost in that spot. There's another insert or two elsewhere like that as well. Also, the ink layers on the playfield don't appear to be exactly precise or matched perfectly in some spots.

Lol, at some point people are just going to have to accept the fact that many Stern games produced during the last year or two are going to be susceptible to this type of problem. It's unfortunate, being that they're so new. Older games ghost as well, it just took them a lot longer and those were back before LED's, so those inserts got even more heat. Imagine if Stern used regular bulbs still, I wonder how much worse the ghosting would be.

This game looks good otherwise, and it really is very minor, but it's still there and still paints an uncertain picture of whether or not it will get worse, stay the same, or if it does get worse, how bad will it get, and how long until that point... It's a shame. Because it does look like an otherwise perfect game. It's a shame people may take a hit on resale value because of corners being cut on playfield quality.
