Umm.. it’s not time to the millisecond of the 100s and thousandths place smear to “88”.

I wonder if there’s some electronics hackers you can do to increase the response time on the last three elements.

It's an artifact of the camera. The camera shutter is long enough that it averages the images over 33ms. At some point in the video you can see that a high speed camera can see the correct display.

In the high speed you can see that they are distinct but you can see the rollover. Maybe mark V could tighten that up.

At the 7 minute mark the industrial 14k FPS camera shows essentially zero rollover. The earlier rollover does appear to be an artifact of the cheap consumer grade high speed camera used.
