Showcase Cabinet - 42" or 50"
csnow:
Thanks for the feedback. I am going to go with the 50. If I go 42, I will always wonder if the 50 would have worked. If it is too big, then my wife gets a new TV in the bedroom, and I will go with the 42. I got my PC/PS3 Cthulhu boards ordered today. I also got my new buttons and new Euro IL controllers and IL Comp buttons. I know the fad is the Japanese controllers, but I just like the feel of the US type stick/buttons.

most new fighting games are native 720p anyway so you want a 720p tv.
and 50" would be too big for a cabinet. 42" is already huge but I can see it work for a cabinet.
Justin Z:
Keeping in mind that Showcase cabinets often featured 4:3 monitors of over 30", a 42" LCD (which would translate to about a 34" 4:3 TV) would actually be pretty reasonable.

After pricing everything out, I bought the 42" 720p Panasonic plasma yesterday. It was half the cost of the 50" so I went cheap ;)

Glad you got the 42". I think I posted about this in your project thread but the 50" would have been too big at that distance.
