All the LCD's I've looked at recently had pretty good side-viewing angles but get bad very quickly when they're not very close to level in relation to your eyes. Your best bet in a cocktail would be a vertical orientation so both players (assuming one on each end). If it's a side-by-side cocktail you could either go vertical or angle it toward the playing side. Make sure you try a mockup to test angles out before you design and build. |

I've been using a 17" LCD for MAME purposes for a little while now. It's a very basic Acer 1714 panel with a 14ms response time, and a 1280x1024 native resolution. I use the following lines in my Mame.ini file: [snip] ### Windows video options ### autoframeskip 0 frameskip 0 waitvsync 0 triplebuffer 0 window 0 ddraw 1 direct3d 1 hwstretch 1 # screen <NULL> (not set) cleanstretch auto resolution 1280x1024 refresh 60 scanlines 0 switchres 1 switchbpp 1 maximize 1 keepaspect 1 matchrefresh 0 syncrefresh 0 throttle 1 full_screen_brightness 0.000000 frames_to_run 0 effect none screen_aspect 4:3 ### Windows Direct3D 2D video options ### zoom 2 d3dtexmanage 1 d3dfilter 4 d3dfeedback 0 d3dscan 50 d3deffectrotate 1 d3dprescale auto d3deffect none # d3dcustom <NULL> (not set) # d3dexpert <NULL> (not set) [snip] I know it is not arcade authentic...but for me, it works out very well - I run Windows XP in 1280x1024 @60Hz, and run MameWah with a 1280x1024 @60Hz skin...I don't have to make any monitor adjustments at all. It will be the perfect solution for my bartop cabinet that I am planning to build. The viewing angles, in both the horizontal and vertical planes, aren't too bad - but as recommended previously...if you are planning on using it in a cocktail cabinet...check the angles before construction, to avoid possible disappointment later on. |
