the whole WOW idea could get somewhere but the lcd flatpanel may take a few experimentsor may not fit in a budjet although would still proberly (once mastered) turn out to cost the same as trying to turn a computer program into running on a DMD because of the curcit boards and programming (please tell me if i'm wrong) i have been thinking about lcd's for a while but there must be a reason why they havent made one yet, im sure stern has thought about it, its just why havent they done something yet?

Stern dont really DO anything... they have copied the industry leaders from day 1 its been almost an unofficial Stern business strategy.
Now they are the industry leaders and we all look to them to actually do something innovative..... problem is that they just dont have it in them.
The only innovations Stern have made are cost cutting exercises like digital print ( and not high res print either.. even the graphics package is budget) playfields, plastic aprons and the such.
We all know where Stern should be going and its away from the usual recipe.... couple of pop bumpers top right, few toys in the middle that wobble ( is that now animation?) crappy print centre PF.. shove everything up the back... Stern wont go there though.

Flat panel expensive?? Not really, i have one on my phone and i bought that as prepaid for $60
