Snowblindz, can you post a picture of that panel in your cab?  I was looking at that panel also, it's a good price for that size.

Partially related - does anyone know if there is a site with bezel artwork converted to 16:10? 

Since all large LCDs are 16:10 I've been playing around with resizing the bezel art to give max area to the active screen, while having artwork occupy the otherwise empty black bands on either side (trying to get 100% usage of the panel area).  As near as I can figure a 16:10 ratio will always have some degree of black bands, and using that for art gives it a functional use.

I've managed to convert one just as a test (modifying the .lay file, and cropping the graphic), and it worked great, but if this already exists somewhere that would certainly save some time.

I don't have a digital camera at the moment.  Should have one soon.. when I get it I will post it.  I will let you know.. right now I do not have a bezel or Plexiglas over the monitor.. so its just sitting in the cabinet.  I'm still trying to figure out what size bezel I need to make and all that good stuff.  I have an Ultimate Arcade II kit from mamerooms.  If anyone knows.. hit me up.

Remember: knowing the G2G response time is useless without knowing the input delay. TV's and the auto-contrast displays can have really bad input delays!


--- Code: ---Aspect  contrast, G2G response, input delay, viewing angle horizontal, viewing angle vertical, blacks
TN old     1:400,  5ms,  0ms, reasonable,   bad, bad
TN new     1:800,  2ms,  0ms,       good,   bad, reasonable
PVA old    1:700, 20ms,  0ms,      great,  good, good
SPVA new  1:1300,  8ms, 16ms,  excellent, great, excellent
IPS old    1:500, 16ms,  0ms,  excellent, great, good
S-IPS new 1:1000,  8ms, 16ms,  excellent, great, good
To improve G2G response, the displays with PVA/IPS need to calculate the difference of 2 frames. So better G2G response is eleminated by the prediction algoritm.

Buy TN if you are on budget and want fast response. Buy SPVA/SIPS if you want to mount vertical, want the best image, or play many black-background classics.

That's great to know. (I'll be buying an LCD myself soon). That explains why Samsung's XX6BW successor lists response time as 2GTG instead of 2 ms.
Ummon:
Some of those don't make sense. The least duration is desired, so if the input delay is 0ms, then wouldn't that be great?  Also, there is perhaps an inplication that the parametres preceeding viewing angles and blacks are related to them.
