Is the asus ROG g-sync coming out finally?  Great idea but aside from FPS games, not going to make a single bit of difference, lol.  I was going to go with it, and if it had come out 4 months ago I would already have it for my main gaming PC.. but priorities change, and they missed out on one sale (and I imagine a few others who had time to second guess a $700 27" monitor)..

Everything I want to play fits perfectly on a 4:3. Everything else is wasted space for the money. I don't play PC games or widescreen games on my cabs, so why spend the extra money when I can get a perfectly working 4:3 for under $50?  :dunno
shponglefan:
4:3 LCD monitors are fine for gaming, especially if the goal is older non-widescreen console/arcade games.   I've used old Dell and Samsung monitors and they've worked out well.  You can sometimes snag them for free from businesses recycling old monitors.

Seriously, are you incapable of reading?

It isn't about the size.

Repeat with me: A ---smurfy--- STANDARD LCD WILL STUTTER IN BASICALLY EVERY GAME IN MAME BECAUSE BASICALLY EVERY GAME IN MAME DOESN'T RUN AT 60hz.

So you think that stuttering is fine? You like stuttering or tearing? Sounds like a great arcade experience. You think that running every game glass smooth at its native refresh rate doesn't make a difference? Stop spreadi1ng misinformation when you have no idea what you're talking about.

G-Sync is the ONLY way I'd use an LCD in a cabinet. Otherwise, a CRT with GroovyMAME is the answer. It is NOT acceptable to run games at the wrong refresh rate with stuttering.

GEEZUS

Oh, and it isn't 24". It's 27".

AND you're completely ignoring the fact that the only way an LCD is going to look good is by using HLSL at a very high resolution, which a ---smurfy--- old 4:3 is incapable of running at.

I'm not sure if it's ignorance, cheapness, or both.

Talk about ignorance... you can tweak your individual game .ini files to eliminate tearing. I do it all the time, especially with side-scrollers. I also don't run HLSL because, quite frankly, I don't feel like I need to fake myself out and pretend that I'm using a CRT when I'm not. If I want to use a CRT, I'll use a CRT.

Yeah, I know, you wrote an super awesome HD front end based on the best game EVAR for your widescreen 70 inch G-FORCE Ultra-plasma LCD....blah blah blah. Meh. Some people just like playing games, dude.

Sorry.. I don't understand ass... can someone translate?

Seriously, you're not going to convince anyone with an ass attitude like that. For the $1000 or more investment required for the monitor plus compatible video card, I can build an entire MAME system from the ground up WITH a true arcade monitor.

Sorry.....
