| Anyone used a 19" LCD replacement monitor in a Midway Cocktail? |

When I was working on my Canucks Cocktail I was trying to decide whether I wanted to go LCD or CRT. I eventually chose to keep the CRT (mostly because the curvature you get out of the tube is more representational of the original games)....but at the time I was considering checking out this site for an LCD purchase. http://www.arcadespareparts.com/arcade_parts/monitors_chassis/open_frame_lcd/12230.html Seems like a great deal, and it's 4:3...but I don't know how much import costs would be. As well, with an LCD, you have to be very mindful of the viewing angle. Some LCD's have a very short angle of viewing from the sides, so depending on how you're mounting it, it may not work well for a cocktail. |

The LCD is a Acer V193Db. It is a 4:3 screen and it costs around 149 euros. I didn't use a bezel. I routed the underside of the MDF to make room for the screen. |

You did a great job. I can't find that monitor in the USA. How is the 180 degree viewing? I am always worried about that on the future Cocktail I am building. --- Quote from: Sjaak on August 17, 2010, 03:47:49 am ---The LCD is a Acer V193Db.

I found this one. Seem close doesn't have to many specs. http://www.amazon.com/Acer-CV3RP-D04-19-Inch-Monitor-Speakers/dp/tech-data/B003E1QEVQ/ref=de_a_smtd My biggest concern is the 180 degree viewing at angles and what not seeing it is for a cocktail table --- Quote from: Sjaak on August 17, 2010, 03:47:49 am ---The LCD is a Acer V193Db.

I've been looking at LCD arcade monitors rather than PC monitors, would like one that accepts 15 kHz. These are both advertised as drop-in replacements http://www.happ.com/monitors/49260310.htm http://www.wellsgardner.com/products/details.asp?iCat=1&iSubCat=5 I'm just a bit worried about viewing angle. |
