One thing to keep in mind and I don't know if it matter on TZ but the spotlights can really glare of the LCD. I have an LCD in my AC/DC and I used spacers so the top of the screen is leaning back slightly. That glass really reflects the spot lights and playfield lights. I don't think it would matter on metal back box Sterns as they are already leaned back a little. The LED doesn't have this issue at all.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:That’s a really good idea with the spacers. You don’t get glare with the LED? I have one in my Dr Who and it’s glare city!
Hmmm I put glare guards on the LED panels, I just took a closer look and it might just be angle and position on the different pins. My AC/DC is the wood back box with LCD and it was really bad, tilting it back solved. My Star Trek is metal back box LED and it has no glare. I have a BSD with LED and it gets glare on the speaker panel but its not too bad. I have a Sega JP with LED and it was getting glare on that curved lexan in the funky back box so I just took it out.
