Quoted from manadams:The only thing I can see is a larger negative number on "made in USA" sticker. My BKSOR LE and SW premium both have -98 on this sticker and my TWD premuim has a -17. Is this how you tell other than looking for a greenish hue at certain angles?

It's also a lot easier to rub a microfiber cloth across HD glass than standard, the coating makes it have less friction I guess. But yeah, Stern's HD has no marking.... weird.

Thanks for the tip!!! Has nothing to do with the negative number on sticker also.

I looked into this a bit.. I was going to start selling glass. HD glass is made in Taiwan/Japan and is mainly used in LCD production. The issue is the glass is cut, then etched with multiple layers of anti reflection coating. Then it's packed and shipped to the US. The minimum orders for glass was just too expensive to try to make this happen as a small company.

This is Pinside trying to figure out if we have HD glass on our Stern games or not.
