Asteroids and Galaga in particular are more difficult. Maybe I need to increase my brightness but i did notice a big difference.

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.

One question is will it interfere with the IR signal of the remote?  Only time will tell...

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.
