Interesting ideas regarding altering the DS display screens, but I'm in the "keep it as is" camp. There's nothing inherently wrong with the existing displays (they totally look like they could be scanning, giving read outs, etc.). In fact, I find "older looking" displays look more realistic than a lot of newer ones -- I believe the technology could actually be real in the OT, whereas I find the displays and tech in the PT often hard to swallow.

As for the youtube clip, the display in the control room looks like a Windows Media Player visualization during MP3 playback, and that energy beam in the chasm is way too much flash.
