    “Would you like to see some modern games use an HD DMD display style like Cactus Canyon Remake has?”

    • Yes, I think a DMD style display would suit some games better than standard LCD displays! 59 votes

    • I'm indifferent, so long as I get all the info I need to play the game from the display I'm satisfied. 23 votes

    • No, I'd rather see manufacturers stick solely to LCD displays and make the most of them. 72 votes

    Quoted from gdonovan:

    The new pin2dmd editor supports animated gifs, some great work being done on Last Action Hero with actual movie clips.
    Not HD, but looks great.

    Thanks for the compliments...

    What he said - working with 64 colors in a 128x32 pixel resolution..

    There are a lot more clips in here now, including a movie trailer that runs in attract mode too.

    It has made a comeback in a big way.

    Quoted from speederice:

    The move to LCD's has unintentionally led to more happening on the screen, and less on the playfield. The biggest reason is because of the BOM - now they have to pay more to get actor likeness rights for full video instead of recreating scenes with dots. From a coding/design standpoint, it feels to me like many modern games use the screen as a crutch to convey pinball moments, rather than the playfield.
