Cool. How much are those things going for these days? I’m a big fan of dynamic marquees. |

Looking forward to seeing how your project takes shape. :cheers: |

[G-Lix] Update 01 -------------------------------------------------- Bought the Main Monitor – 31.5in 1440p/75hz IPS VESA-compatible from Acer Refurbished on Ebay, directly from the manufacturer, you can save a lot by doing this on many products actually (and they are all often litterally new) With Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 incoming, my goal with this Arcade is also to be able to play current games – and locking frame rate at 75 I specifically bought a 31.5in so it fits as close as possible the length of the Marquee Marquee is being sold as a 28in Monitor and this new one as a 31.5in – but we all know this is the size of the diagonal I used this website (www.displaywars.com) before buying it to make sure I know what is the exact size of the length without Bezel, so really pixel to pixel So with a 31.5in, you get a length of 27.45in – and the Marquee has a length of 27.50in – so a very small difference of 0.05 (0.025 on each sides) for a visually perfect alignement It also needed to be VESA compatible as this is how I will mount the monitor to the MDF panel behind :cheers: |
