Really elevates the whole game.

Installation was easy. The translite slides out and is replaced (modular game system) quick. The old LCD had its hdmi and power disconnected, new one placed in and secured and reconnected. Easy peasy.

Quoted from Wickerman2:

So what happens to your "old" small LCD? It looks like it's still lit--or is that a piece of art that you slip back in?

The translite fits the entire backbox, with the large rectangular opening for the LCD. So the little Full Throttle art at the bottom and the top part are what remains visible on the translite. Both are illuminated by the existing leds that were in the backbox.

I think the large format lcd works well just with blown up info. It isn't or shouldn't try to be a computer monitor.

I think about when I take my kids to Dave & Buster's, and the types of lcd displays I see there. Big, bright, colorful and simple. This seems to be in the spirit of that and would be right at home there.
