Like I said, I find the LED displays easier to read than the LCD

I suppose it's the same argument people have about the LED destination display vs the destination blinds. (Although there shouldn't be an argument, LED is far superior)

Was there always a display above the stairs on Cobalts? I don't recall seeing it there before. But as I said before, I rarely travel travel on them

Not being argumentative or owt, but how are they easier to see?

Is it down to reflection/glare or contrast?

I personally find the scrolling text frustrating, mainly because of the limited space.

If you happen to glance up a moment too late, you've potentially missed a key piece of information.

XC use them on their services and when in a weird or wonderful (but unfamiliar part of the country), it can be annoying to only catch the end of something potentially important.

I think the LED displays hark back to the days of yore.

SJP and the IS were well known for their scoreboards.

Granted the technology was in its infancy then, but with everything else that's moved on and the technology which is available to us...
