Well, I *have* the PC version. But that's not it.
That's the second time someone has asked me that - is it a faux pas to have a screen shot of that showing?

Nope, I searched your previous posts and read that you had it. ;) I was curious which version that is because of the graphics underneath the golfer. My other guess is that's a bezel showing but I haven't seen it before (I don't display bezels).

Ah, THAT. I do have the PC version, but it is a BEAR to get to work on anything but Windows 95. You can but it is a pain.
Well, I could give you a long explanation but to keep it short - I never can remember the damn trackball directions for slices and hooks. They are in my opinion non-intuitive, so my lame butt has to have the cheat sheet open. So yeah - that's the bezel in MAME.
In horizontal mode that leaves you with a tiny 1" tall golfer and a single pixel ball.
Vertical is a little better, but I agree with you on bezels, I generally don't display them. Too much lost real estate.
While on that subject, I wish I knew how to rotate the pinball games and lose the surrounding art.

I have been wanting a LCD for m cab because I'm having resolution issues with my tube I gutted from a tv. I just wish they would make some larger 4:3 LCD's, but I won't hold my breath.

At this point, though I haven't personally seen those high-end LCDs mentioned above, I would only do plasma, of which large ones are getting down below a thousand now.

I think the smallest plasma is like 32", right? For a standard cab, I think 27" is about the comfortable limit (I have a 27" vert Dynamo).
As far as viewing angles go, where exactly do you figure you're going to be when you're playing the cab, 70 degrees to the side?
