Quoted from Rickwh:When I got my TWD prem last year, it had a colorDMD(LED version) in it. I have swapped it for a colorDMD(LCD version set on scan mode).
I posted pics in this thread so you can go back and see what it looks like.
Led version
Pro
Direct drop in replacement for stern dmd
Con
Grainy led resolution not ideal for TWDs dmd content.
LCD version
Pro
Flexibility of picking different modes small dots, large dots, square dots, etc.
Con
The lcd has spacers that make it sit back 1/2 inch or so away from the hole in the dmd panel. If you look at it from extreme angle you can see back into the back box some. If you had speaker lights that would probably have light bleed through. Can put foam strips or something to block the light.
IMHO, the colorDMD LCD set to scan mode is definitely the way to go for TWD.
A gasket has been produced to cover that gap and can be purchased direct from ColorDMD or direct from someone’s Pinside store too if I’m not mistaken, I forget who though
