Twisted Quarter - Buyer Beware

--- Quote from: MaxVolume on August 20, 2012, 12:14:44 pm ---First of all, I would never defend a bad merchant just because they might have a part I need. I made sure to give my COMPLETE, honest opinion of TQ, warts and all. Are they ideal? No. Did they try to help you but stopped short of what you preferred so you threw a tantrum... YES.
Secondly, you're splitting hairs. Who the f*ck cares if it's not a MAME cabinet??? Dude, you're building something that is gonna be around for a while, unless you're just so fickle that you're gonna get bored with it and rebuild it with whatever console replaces the PS3, but would you actually take the extra step to replace the LCD if you did?
The bottom line is you wanted an LCD, the one you got didn't work, you were offered a repair, you said you didn't want it at all. Make up your mind... do you WANT an LCD or not??? THAT's where being a dick comes in, not to mention your attitude with the rep who was actually trying to help you.
Someone else already nailed it... buyer's remorse. So, you're still mourning your DOA C-64... tough crap.

Actually, the funny part is that most LCDs are all made in the same factories...same as tires...same as golf clubs....same as high end BMX and MTB bikes....same as just about everything else.
Just get a computer monitor and be done with it. Unless you're after that "look" of the old CRTs and can ONLY fit that in your cab for some reason, go with modern LCDs. I don't know any more harsh of an environment than some of the manufacturing floors with LCDs running in dusty, vibration filled, EM radiated areas near some gigantic CNC machine, etc...where I see "Dell" 19" monitors all purring away happily.

I'm not trolling, dude... I just don't like having anyone unfairly maligned. I know you probably thought this was gonna be a big circle jerk for people who had bad experiences with TQ, but not everyone has. This being a free forum, I wanted to chime in with my opinion of where the problem actually was in this scenario. Last time I checked, that was okay.
I'm not making a blanket statement here, just that in this particular instance I think you went too far. I don't agree that your "end-of-life product" excuse holds water, but if it helps I completely understand the "how the heck do I know if it works if I don't open it???" argument.

I thought that too AJ but I am not so sure now. This is the second de-cased "Arcade" monitor that came in DOA. That was my main reason for buyer's remorse and why I wanted a refund. I have never had a standard PC/computer LCD fail or come in DOA. I don't think these niche "Arcade" monitors are being made by the same big players in the LCD industry. No way to verify my assumptions but I feel better with my decision to move to a standard computer monitor.
