PinScore or Rottendog Display

<< < (2/3) > >>

smartbomb2084:
Thank you gentlemen for the input.

I guess this decision is now a no brainer as PinScore is the unanimous favorite. 

I found out that the brightness control, although seemingly useless for a stand alone game unless applying tint, can be used to match the brightness of the display to other like games with original displays in a line next to it.   

Since this game will be residing next to a POLICE FORCE the brightness feature is kind of a 'must have'.

Saving $50 would have been nice but as with most things in life you get what you pay for in the end.

To chime in late. I am 100% down with pinscore. Nearly all pins I get have display issues and I have used them on more than a few occasions.

No problems as of yet and it looks sharp!

Ordered the PinScore display. Waiting for it to arrive.

I see Bay Area Amusements is selling a new brand of display known as XPIN.

Anyone hear of them?  Are they an overseas knock-off of PinScore?

The component layout of both boards look identical.

jrivelli:
Looks like the same prices too, that's no fun

Well, I got the display and my opinion of it is mixed.

First off, it came with no stand-offs for installation and the ones in the original display wont fit.  So much for "everything included for a plug and play installation".    :banghead:

Second, the font size is slightly different. The characters are a little taller and and less wide than the original.

Third, I have to completely agree with RayB's assesment that the unlit portions of the display are to visible especially if the room is not darkened. When the room is dark it isn't so bad.  Tinting might eventually be an option.
Adjusting the brightness up to max helps drown out the 'white unlit portions' a little.
