I am building a modified "Woody" clone and I need some advice on the monitor. I will be running MAME games and console games up to Super Nintendo on the machine. In my price range, I can get a 22 LCD at 16:10 or a 19" at 5:4. Which would you get? I have some guys telling me to stay away from the widescreen format and some telling me to only go widescreen. Thanks in advance for your input. |

a good 5:4 could cost $300 plus HP lp2065 20 inch thats what i have amazing LCD worth every penny plus no arcade monitor hassels plus it rotates for vertical games and big enough for horizontal games. It all comes down to what games you want to play! Retro games 5:4 is the way to go New games will look great also because its a 20 inch screen |

Personally, I can't stand having that artwork activated, but to each their own. |

There's often a good amount of HP 2065's on classified sites in very good condition for 100$. Thing is these monitors are sold by the thousands to businesses, and many owners don't know its such a good thing. They trade it for a cheap as FullHD 24 inch TN with 1:1000000000 contrast only to find out after a few weeks they bought ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. |
