Yep. Think this is close to what I've seen people suggest for Stern to do vs what some people (myself included) thought was "too far" with WOZ. Though if they do it like BOP2.0 it will still be faux dots. I don't have a problem with this, but not sure if it needs it either ? Though, looking at the graphic.. maybe "Full Pixel" will be good enough, just a bit low res. Or they'll do something different still, we don't know.

did you see my link on the bottom of the first page? For BOP they used an LCD, but they made it low res / look more like a DMD. Fake scan lines is even one of the modes on there. So, dunno.. it might be too CPU intensive or something to do full res rendered clips, so maybe this is the compromise.. bigger, but low res.. and you can pick the pixel rendering that you think looks most acceptable? sure they learning a lot on BOP 2.0 on what is/isn't doable.

$8500 US.. no idea what that is in Canadian

right drawing the different black borders, yes. Was saying that what that means though is that they also doing have full res dots stored either. They could have a very blocky dot stored (say 8x8 lcd pixels per DOT pixel) So, at least a storage savings as that will compress really well. Represented by the "full pixel" left most panel in their pixelation border examples.

At any rate, we have no idea. At least when BOP 2.0 starts shipping we'll have a better idea of what you can do with that system. And if they further refine it / make something 'full res' of an LCD for TBL that's cool too. Either way not a deal breaker.. I personally don't need WOZ level of resolution.. but definitely appreciate that it will be better than old DMDs regardless

I hate to critique it at all.. but something about donny's hands, to me, feels off as well.. like too big with the bowling ball maybe also pretty big? but yeah, walter being up front would be better still. Not going to lose sleep over it. welcome to the TBL club

how does the size of the monitor turn into not being able to fold down the head? Is this under the assumption you're using a standard head vs custom built or ? just curious.

Agree though that it could just be the CGI video, but .. would be a bit of a mis-step to get us salivating about it

parusing newegg for a second.. found a viewsonic 16:9 ratio LCD that was 20" diagonal. In the comments:

The viewable screen is about 17" wide and 9.5 inches tall. The whole monitor is almost 19 inches wide.

Q: Will The Big Lebowski™ Pinball have a parental controls/adult mode?
A: Yes, and if you have kids, you’ll be glad it does!

Heh.. I agree it would be appropriate but might get the machine "table flipped"

That sequence is a recreation from the movies "gutterballs" sequence.

Kinda imagine it as inverted WoZ.. Translite being as big as WoZ LCD and then LCD zone being similar to the WoZ mini translite (positions reversed of course).

Eh I dunno.. I think I'd pass on those legs. It's fine as a piece of art/gift but 4 of those against the really sharp looking cabinet .. No thanks. Plus I don't want us to fall down the MMR trim rabbit hole
