32 inch CRT. Too big?

Pages: (1/7) > >>

Donkbaca:

I got a free 32 inch with composite, and s-video, super nice picture, 4:3 CRT TV.  Is it too big for a non-showcase cab?

ahofle:

Just my opinion, but I would say too big for non-showcase.  Even 27" is pushing the limit to me.

RayB:

yeah, too big

Popcorrin:

You could do it, but you will need to design a cab with a deep control panel or maybe slope the monitor a good bit in order to get some separation from the players viewpoint and the monitor.

BadMouth:

Easy rule of thumb is the monitor needs to be as far from your eyes as it's size.
32" TV = at least 32" from your eyeballs to the screen.

You could build a mini-showcase.  Not as deep as a regular one, but just big enough to put you far enough away from the screen.

I use a 32" tv for my main setup (not a cab, but very functional).
I really like it, especially for gun games.
