39" Screen in Cab? Need Opinons

Pages: (1/5) > >>

I have a cab I built now with a 32" LED screen and I'm planning on building a new cab. My new control panel is 38x19.5 and I'm thinking about going with a 39" LED TV. Would this be too large of a screen at a close distance? For MAME I would use 4:3 mode, but 16x9 for games like MK9.

Arcades R Fun uses this size in their rigs. www.arcadesrfun.com

See Sig for arcade build if interested.

Seems way too big to be viewed that close in my opinion... if I was to use anything even close to 39" it would have to be in a mirrored cab or something so you could get a little extra distance between the players and the screen.  To each his own though!

Malenko:

wow are those cabs aesthetically displeasing.

39" is way too much to be that close. I think 29" is about the biggest you can go. I put a 36" in my old KI2MAME cab, but that was vertical (and honestly a bit too big)

I have a 32" now and it's not bad. But as soon as I step back to use the guns, it suddenly feels like a small screen. Again, this is a from scratch build, so I can really make it any size I want or reuse the 32". I was hoping to get a little more screen but not overkill. I've been dabbling with going 50" vertical as well...

Screens that wide are fine for pedestals. But I personally hate seeing them in upright cabs because of how wide it makes the whole cab. But then again, I'm a purist, I think.
