Quoted from PinballRulez:

I been in on TH and now have Full Throttle on order. I find the concept of Heighway much more appealing than that of JJP.
Do not get me wrong, the LCD of JJP is just stunning but I think in the long run the functionality of the Heighway LCD will win over the 'movie' LCD of JJP.
It is about pinall, not about watching a movie.
And indeed Heighway will also evolve when it concerns the use of their LCD. Many options have already been spoken of for implementing in Alien.

One of the intriguing elements of the big LCD in TH, is the information, not the movie.

I think it's visually a vast improvement over the WOZ LCD, the way the elements are divided. There are so many modes and qualifiers, the LCD provides easy visual access to what you need to do, as well as your progress.

I think it could easily have as big of an impact as the transition from alpha numeric to dmd. Pausing a game to scroll through "instant info" will be as outdated as having to manually push up a ball from the trough on old EM's.

The high def video is only part of the allure. Games with complex rulesets will benefit the most.
