This is on my #JP machine. The DMD appears to work fine but some animations have "washed out" looking areas. But this is only on some animations. The rest of the time and even doing a DMD test everything works fine.

Notice the T-REX letters just before they light up. Almost unreadable. There just a faint outline / dim leters.

Notice the Park Renvenue Score screen where the top of the numbers are faded and missing...

So this happens on these two screens all the time but I don't see this issue elsewhere. Any idea? Wouldn't think the DMD is going bad if its just these screens but then I know next to nothing about how these work.

This is just 1 of 20 known gremlins in my game. Any help would be appreciated.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Looks like the beginnings of outgassing. Certain shades don't have enough "juice" to be steadily displayed.
Did you try a different display?

Bummer. No I don't have a spare laying around. Thanks, I'll look I'll be adding that to my next order list.
