I'm looking forward to see the final product. It looks like they knocked 1 thing out of the park already (at least for myself) the display. and yes I'm basing this off of a screen cap. Either way, it shows each players score displayed in a respective corner (hopefully without jumping around or disappearing randomly, I understand that might happen to avoid screen damage) current location in the game, Ball, decent looking graphics/animations, and instructions for the player... and not 50,000 other things cluttering up the only info I need...

Dialed in aside, other JJP games have information overload on screen which is overwhelming for a new/casual player. I haven't spent much time on Aerosmith but the few times I have the LCD seems to be a jumbled mess.

Quoted from toyotaboy:

Is screen burn-in really an issue on LCD though? I know that was a problem with CRT (because a laser is firing in the same spot over and over, wearing out the film inside the tube), but restaurants everywhere are switching to LCD to display their menus now (which are on everyday for 12-16 hours a day) and I've yet to see one that has burn-in. There's probably a reason you don't see flying toaster screen saver software anymore.
My guess is even if that were an issue, an LCD is pretty cheap to replace. I'm going to guess a VERY common LCD module was chosen that won't be obsoleted for a long time.

yes true, if you notice those menu's constantly cycle and move around though. It was to my understanding that static graphics will still damage the screen as long as they are constantly there. example the CNN bug (lower corner graphic)

Quoted from toyotaboy:

Some menus do cycle (like mcdonalds), the ma-n-pa restaurant by me is completely static (though I suppose since the menu never changes, how would I know if there was burn-in). I'm guessing you got that image from this link?

Talks about "image persistence" versus burn-in. Also says you would have to have the same image for a VERY long time (I'm guessing that monitor is in an airport, playing CNN 24/7). It also says in most cases this is reversible if you let a solid white image play for a while. Also, scores are never static, they are always changing (the background might stay the same), but you also aren't going to be in a game for 24/7, eventually your game ends and it goes back to attract mode which will likely be animation similar to TNA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_burn-in

same image though. the caption there says it was in a Mcdonalds w/ CNN on 24/7. good point though you can't play that game for that long. I'm reading around and learning that there are software solutions to remedy the burn in (image persistence) problem too. Really looking forward to seeing the full game.

(secretly hoping for a Zappa call out or easter egg but that's probably not possible)
