[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 247752, member: 4106"] I've not played a Heighway table, but really, other than being a crowd-pleaser on the JJPs, having such a big screen with so much going on really isn't all that. 95+% of the time I'm looking at the ball, and the times I have to look up at the screen there's only so much information I can take in, in a short period of time. Both WoZ and The Hobbit suffer from trying to present far too much information for a player to absorb. Clear callouts and minimal, but useful, information are what's needed in the display. Save the animations etc. for when you know a player is going to be looking at it, like starting a multiball or wizard mode. So yeah moving on from the "good old" DMD is one thing, but doing it right is another. [/QUOTE]
