What are the Benefits of smoked plexi
Nephasth:
There's The Armoircade. Smoked plexi looks good on it too.
opt2not:
Smoked plexi gives you better contrast between lights and darks.
Blacks look darker, lines look clearer (without that monitor fuzzy blur from the lit phosphors), and colours tend to "bleed" less.
It is also great for hiding your monitor shroud, and gives the image a floating feeling.
This is great for 2D sprite games, but if you're playing 3D games like the Street Fighter 4, then smoked plexi won't help much there.

1/4" is a bit overkill. Most cabinets used 1/8" plastic.

Which cabinets are those? I thought 1/4" thick was standard. It would seem that anything less than that would flex too much.

With exception of Cocktails, I don't think I ever saw a cab with thick, window-like glass. Always thought most cabs had jus a thin 1/8" glass cut to size of the monitor area so it cant bend or flex. I could be wrong.
And shout outs to Shaolin! :cheers:

It also hides minor screen burn in. You have a new system and not an issue; however, it is not uncommon for someone to remove a monitor from a tinted cab to find screen burn they never knew existed.
