I can kind of understand the criticisms about the lack of LEDs – in my eye, Oddworld has always followed this kind of retro, Victorian-style dystopian theme, full of grime and dirty smoke and bare metal. Holograms don’t fit in quite as well as an LED screen, you know?
On the other hand, now I think about it I feel like a really old, flickering CRT screen would work out even better than either holograms or LEDs – it would fit the grimy theme better and would also have a bit more depth to it, which would stand out more with the 3D graphics.

All I have ever seen in Oddworld, at least in Magog factories, are CRT like screens. The information screens in AE were CRT, as were the screens of the Slig Security clips. I do kind of think that those fit better in the rundown factory theme that RF has going for itself.
I can see them being used in public or VIP areas like I said. But not in the processing area Abe finds himself in at the start of the game.
