Holy crap.

There's a first time for everything...here we go....

MARK, YOU ARE A F*CKING GENIUS!!!

I bought the blue X-Pin DMD for my Avatar, and I had Pinbits make me a blue plexi window for it (similar to Stern's new games w/ the red windows). If the LEDs were white, the blue would make it blue anyway! *forehead slap*

I suppose it varies from unit to unit...but my red LED DMD in my X-Men isn't as "griddy" as my blue X-Pin DMD in my Avatar. That being said, I do enjoy my X-Pin DMD, and blue totally makes Avatar's "footage" look much better, since most of the characters are blue Na'vi doing stuff. I don't think I'd recommend changing out every DMD for a color LED one....but, if it really fits the theme of your game, I think it's cool!

Yeah, I did not like the tinted vinyl piece that came with the DMD. Like you said, it had glare on it, and it also made the LED squares more obvious as it sort of formed impressions around them...that's why I asked Pinbits to make me a blue plexi window. Email them - I'm pretty sure they'll make them for anyone who wants them.

Wow, green looks rad on CV! Thanks for the pix, Max! I was thinking purple....but now I'm leaning green.

Here are pics of Avatar with and without the blue plexi window.

Sorry, I threw out the filter before taking pics...but the instructions said to put it directly on the display. This didn't look good because it made creases/indentations in the filter, and made the LED squares even more obvious. It's also shiny and glarey which didn't help.
