Dream Authentics LCD Claims
ChadTower:
Seriously. Why can't I hook my 2600 to my LCD?!
Yeah, I mean that. No coax and no VCR means I have to mod the old consoles to get composite or Svid.

Are you really mad that LCD TV's dont incorporate a techology that would only be used for something like a 30 yr. old 2600 system? The total market for that would = total members of this forum * 50% (at most). No one outside of the limited number of people hooking up a 30yr. old console system needs that technology so clearly the cost benefit isnt there.
Like everything else, the technology market evolves to give people what they want today not what they used 30 yrs. ago. If they did they wouldnt be in business because they would never have anything new to sell and so once the market was flooded with 20" crt's and 2600's there would only be business for the TV repairman.
Face it people CRT's are going the way of the dodo if they're not already there.....just like the arcades. If you want CRT's to live on start a business that sells them and somehow markets their.....benefits....yea, benefits. Let me know when you do this because I want to come bid on all your co-op stuff at your bankruptcy liquidation auction. >:D

Variations of this thread have played out over virtually every arcade-related forum that I can think of.
This is the only place where people seem to relish the end of the CRT and taunt those of us who use CRTs.
What does that mean for those of us involved in true restoration and preservation of arcade goodness ?

Even though I'm using an LCD, I agree that the demise of the CRT monitor is a sad moment in arcade history. Nothing beats the authentic look of a good old fashioned CRT.

Cheffo if you want to be authentic then play your classics on an actual arcade CRT in the actual dedicated machine with actual controls & post about it on KLOV.
This is BYOAC & to those using emulation, LCD it up!!!!!!
To those using CRT (myself included) so be it.
But the self righteous banter of "my fake arcade is realer than your fake arcade" is so boooooooring.
