LCD's as the Marquee ?
« on: February 18, 2010, 02:03:09 pm »
May have posted this in the wrong forum before, sorry. Has anyone ever attempted making a marquee with Laptop LCD's? I've been researching applying two LCDs together to make a marquee in my arcade machine. I've noticed that it may be quite expensive as a chip set (200$ up) would be required (power and controller) for each Laptop LCD to be used as a regular monitor. Then comes the fact that a front end would also need programming to display the game marquees on the LCDs. Just wondering if anyone has attempted this yet and if they can provide any additional info.
