    Quoted from Purpledrilmonkey:

    If the LCD draws in paying customers, thats a different story altogether that I personally don't care too much about.

    Bingo. Jack hopes that WOZ will help resurrect more public pinball. If JJP is successful, I'm sure the large/luxurious LCD will get a lot of credit.

    For home use, I just don't see the thrill of a massive LCD. Utilizing LCD's and updating the software to display high resolution images is goodness...no one can effectively argue that single color dots are better than full color, high def images.

    If Stern's LCD filled up the new ST speaker panel, I'd be happy...I really see no need for it to be massive like JJP's.

    That's part of the dilemma for these companies...deciding what customer to fully focus on...

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    No, of course not, but that doesn't mean it can't be. JJP's whole thing is getting location playing going again. The home market is going to be there but they're trying to add to that.

    It's all aboot whom is making/editing/adding effects to the HD images, and how much autonomy they have. It could come out as completely awesome or a total train wreck.

    Agreed, but that is true for almost anything...you can screw up "dots" too!

    I think it would be cool to have 2 modestly sized LCD's...one on the PF (i.e. under the glass) that displays critical game play information and one on the speaker panel for viewer entertainment.
