Asteroids and Galaga in particular are more difficult. Maybe I need to increase my brightness but i did notice a big difference. --- End quote --- I don't see the effect you mentioned on mine. You probably do need to adjust the brightness. Every monitor is going to be a little different in this regard. The key is to set the controls of your CRT so that a black background remains invisible, while getting the foreground as bright as possible without washing the colors out. RandyT |

Replace the glass in my Showcase with some smoked plexi, see how it works for an S-Video TV instead of an arcade monitor... :) One question is will it interfere with the IR signal of the remote? Only time will tell... --- End quote --- That's what I did on my cab, smoked gray (there's also a brown tint available, that's what was on cabinet originaly) and with a 21" JVC tv on it, works A1. remote and all :) |

So where the heck can you buy smoked plexi? Can't find it anywhere. |

Most home depots should carry it. |
