LCD specs needed for MAME

Pages: << < (3/8) > >>

Squeeky:

Search staples.com for model #, it's $199.

Add paper clips to get just above $200

There is $50 off $200 coupon on ebay for roughly $4

Then $50 MIR, ends up like $105 shipped

Knievel:


A 19" widescreen is really smaller than a regular 19". You get more width (which you don't need) but your going to lose height. I think the height is comparable to a 17".

I'm buying 20" LCD's up in Canada for $250 or less, which means you should be able to find one there for around $200 or less.

Your monitor size is something you shouldn't skimp on, you will regret it later. ;)

RayB:

For best picture and fast response time, go for the Samsung 206BW, or 226BW for widescreen.



blueznl:

Seen some 19" for 170 euro retail in Europe, saw some commercials for 21" widescreen for a little over 200.

THere are three situations where a widescreen may make sense:

1. If you want your system to double up as an extra televison :-)

2. If you want to play darius multi screen style...

3. If you can get Mame so crazy as to have instruction cards left and right of the playfield.

(Now that option 3 is quite interesting, but I dunno if it's possible...)

*edit* could have sworn I clicked MODIFY, not Quote.  ;D
