| 21" CRT VS 17" LCD |
| (1/4) > >> |
| DaOld Man:
I asked this question in the video section, but only got one response. I have a 21" CRT PC monitor I was going to put in my arcade, which currently has a 17" PC CRT. I ordered one of those cheap 17" LCD monitors, and am thinking of installing it instead. I would like to make a rotating setup, and I know it will be much easier with the LCD. So my question is: Which would you prefer? (1) 17" LCD rotating (2) 17" LCD non-rotating (3) 21" CRT rotating (4) 21" CRT non-rotating (5) 21" LCD |

It's going to be a personal preference that only you can decide. The critical questions you need to answer for yourself are: How many vertical games are you going to play? Is vertical orientation important for those games? Is authentic resolution reproduction important to you? That last one is a big one. |

What about option 5, 21" LCD Rotating :D. |
| DaOld Man:
heffe2001: 21" lcd would be perfect, but I dont hav ethe funds for that right now. :badmood: Avrus: Well, I have a 17" LCD on my desktop PC, when I turn it vertical, Galaga 88 looks much much better. |

I think heffe2001 said exactly what I was thinking. The 21 CRT is good...but the effort is almost not worth it. A 21" 4:3 with a thin black frame LCD would be my choice. I'm thinking I might get one to put away for a rainy day. Most everything has gone wide screen. Cornchip. |
