LCD is great for pinball because it is contemporary. When I went to the pinball hall of fame in Vegas, the only pin that was constantly surrounded by a group (not just those playing) of people was The Hobbit. Why? Because the large LCD provided a completely different visual experience for the onlooker. Yes, the game is on the playfield, but the onlooker needs something, too. I think the LCD will be a huge plus for games on route because they catch the eye. Plus, younger people are expecting the added technology. LCD games make recent DMD games look archaic, just by the display alone. I really don't think the young player or the new pinball enthusiast cares as much about backglass, but would rather want the newest, latest, and greatest (perceived) technology. As a Hobbit owner (my only LCD pin), I find I enjoy watching someone play almost as much as playing. And in home use, once you get a sense of flow and spend time with it, the LCD becomes easy to understand, functional, and entertaining. Yes, once you are used to the game you find ways to watch the LCD (just like we all did with DMD). It's here to stay, and should be an awesome accessory even more in the future as all companies get better at implementing it.
