Quoted from Alamo_Pin:Voodoo or Invisiglass. You should be happy with either one.
I have machines with each kind (and PDI), and honestly can’t tell a difference
Same. I have machines with both and I really can't tell the difference. They both make it look like there isn't even any glass there. At least from the right angle and distance.
Quoted from pinballizfun:I wouldn't take the glass or topper, neither does a thing for helping the game play. I'd hold the several hundred toward maintenance or another game. 10 games with overpriced, unneeded, (but nice) glass, or the better part of 3K to get another game? I'll take the game every time. you can run track lighting cheaper than a piece of glass. Then you can put your overheads behind the player so there is no overhead glare. the only glare then is the backbox. Glare from a window, close the blinds/drapes.
I'd argue invisiglass actually DOES affect play. You are looking through it everytime you play a game. It's a luxury, but I wouldn't equate it to a topper at all. It's not necessary for sure, but it is nice to have.
Also, I only have a couple sheets, but I simply rotate them from game to game as I sell pins and get new ones. I keep my invisiglass when I sell, and just put the regular glass back in when the time comes.
Quoted from Litedpinballmods:Both of those glasses are sprayed optical coatings and will fade over time. PDI glass is the only glass that is not sprayed, it is dipped and etched. In tests PDI out performed outer glasses.

So I've heard you repeat many times.
Any data or evidence to back this up? Any reports of Voodoo, Magic, OR Stern HD glass clarity fading over time from actual users?
Quoted from WW2GURU:Well I looked for some etching. Looks like I got a $10 sheet of garbage for my troubles. I guess it is tempered though . Thanks guys for all the extra info and pics to confirm.

Also, if the game has actual invisi/HD glass, you'll know. It's very apparent. Looking down toward the flippers it should basically look like there isn't any glass on the game at all.
There's no mistaking it.
