I am almost 100% certain that it's a flatscreen monitor (since the combined area of the readout and the Showcase name readout comes WAY too close to a 16x9 aspect ratio for me to think it's mere coincidence), and so I would think it's whatever it needs to be.

To add - it's probably a monitor and the cabinet's modded so you don't need that middle part - just get your output (via Flash?) in the areas you need them.

Let's hope that they don't have to go six figures, but all one would need to do is go to a condensed version of the font and it's done.

it is one screen divided by the podium sections. i went to the show about a month ago and they were still working out the bugs. instead of numbers and letters appearing in the appropriate sections, a windows screen appeared with a mouse pointer moving all about. i'm really unimpressed with the changes.

And that's why you test the software before you go live with it.

Bonus points for bothering to Photoshop the name of the app into the error message.

The hard part was Photshopping the task bar, not that you can see the detail anyway.

Funny, I really don't have a problem with it.

Ha! Where's Mean Bob when we need him? I can't help it--I see this and think "The Magnificent Marble Machine" looked more stylish.

I like the checkerboard pattern, and like the pyramids as podia. But the Day-Glo Barney and Baby Bop colors are distracting IMO. And like others noted, it'll prolly look fine on a TV set, but I think one color scheme or the other should be a little more subtle.

Looking at it again, the fuschia squares remind me of the "glowing" red pyramids from the 80s version, when the lights dimmed during the Winner's Circle. THAT would be a sweet effect.

Well, we finally got a picture of the whole lot lit-up, and I must say

Pretty cute stuff there.

Aside from the fact that we don't allow images on our board (which Lirodon probably didn't realize), this link appears to be broken. Anybody who can clean it up or pass on to us a new one would be appreciated.

Done.

Like the LCDs and the back squares (really reminds me of Jeopardy's grid set), but I really don't like the lecterns.

BrandonFG · « **Reply #25 on:** August 24, 2009, 04:31:25 PM »

Nice. The checkerboard looks really nice with the colors, and the lime green no longer burns my retinas. :-) The checkerboard now reminds me even more of the 80s Pyramid set during the Winners Circle.

Now to see some digits on these scoreboards...

Is the red folding chair part of the new set?

Sorry...I don't have Mean Bob. Will this do?

Is your Mean Bob of any relation to this one?
