It's ALL about the game play, that's all that matters...The priority is reproducing the game play, after that everything else is just backround noise.

Some people are more into the feeling than the quality of the feeling. I definitely am not one of these people.

About to start building my mame setup. I have a Star Wars Cockpit sized cab. Would this be a good monitor for mame?

At first, it was coming that way out of the box. But, yes, it is featured much like a monitor chassis and neck board - you can increase the color gains, etc.
--- Quote ---I always leave a couple of rough edges on my machines. For example, the pinballs will intentionally have a few mismatched rubbers, or I'll leave a couple of overstretched old ones in there. When I use a CRT, I generally overdrive the red a little. It's not a question of laziness, it takes just as much time to do it that way as it would to make it 'better than new.' However, it simulates the visual experience I had growing up playing the games.
