Title: Different LED Types...what's your favourite

What's your favourite type of led display on buses and why?

Mines the Super X version of Hanover as they look bright and stand out (example I saw GRS's Hanovers a quarter of a mile off last night whilst on my commute home.)

They also look, if on the right setting like Arriva's 310 display, quite clear and easy to read too.

Can someone show me the difference between this super display and a normal one. I can't tell the difference from what I've already seen.

This wouldn't be down to the fact that you programmed them would it?  :P

Whilst on the topic of LEDs, can someone explain to me why WA Geminis seem to have a brighter route number than the destination? Usually seen on the X51...

Good point. (I didn't put them there!)

Flip dot is worse than LEDs, then.
