Hello!
This is the thread for my G-Lix Arcade Project

A Stand Up Vewlix-style Arcade Cabinet I will design and build during my free time

 :cheers:

--------------------------------------------------

I want to create the whole electronic inside before thinking about how the Cabinet will look like and make sure everything is right and I don't forget anything
So starting my project with an LCD Monitor Marquee (28in/1920x360/60hz) I bought from Wisecoco
My goal is to make everything based on the length of this Marquee

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

It's around 400$ for a 28 Inch/1920x360/60hz – Imported from China so cost might vary depending on your location

Damn - a little steep for me so I'll continue to mask used monitors for my 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
