How big the main TV? Like what size is the actual screen (including the hidden part)? Also, are there any issues with sync when running an LCD vertically like that? Like do you get sync/scanning issues that run from left-to-right instead of the usual top-to-bottom? Or is it just a non-issue? |

2016 BYOAC upright of the year right here... ;) It's a long year yet, but the amount of custom work that went into this thing still makes my head spin, and wish I paid more attention in computer class....lol. Great work, better attention to detail! :applaud: |

Like what size is the actual screen (including the hidden part)? --- End quote --- It's a 46" 1080p bottom-end Samsung TV. The screen glass measures about 40" x 22 1/2", and the case isn't much bigger than that. So, flipped portrait, it's 40" tall and 22 1/2" wide. The square that remains showing is 22 1/2" by 22 1/2", which equates roughly to a 32" TV (though there are no square TVs that I know of.) I think 46" is about the right size for doing this. It'll fit in a 24" wide classic cabinet if you like. It gives you enough room and resolution for readable functional bezel instruction cards and whatnot, if you are careful with your graphic editing. A game shown full screen without bezel becomes Really Almost Too Big. (I make a few exceptions in my setup for things like Xybots, where you were playing on one corner of the screen anyway - making that huge isn't a bad effect overall.) --- Quote from: Jakobud on March 02, 2016, 04:08:52 pm ---Also, are there any issues with sync when running an LCD vertically like that?

It's no worse looking than the normal artifact, just slightly different, and it becomes a non-issue if you can vsync. I also haven't had any problems with viewing angle. |

I'll go back and add some completed pictures to the beginning of the thread, now that it is finished. |

This is just great work. After seeing this and blip I think my plans for my cab, HAVE to be changed . I just need a Dynamic Marquee . I was going with a Tron Theme, But i think I might scrap it for a more generic theme and get a dynamic marquee , It just adds so much to the cabinet. Really nice work. I guess i will save on artwork and printing, to pick up the right LCD for the marquee. |
