This LCD is pretty capable:

Problem still is the 2600 though. A console without composite is ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. And then the 2600 itself. It got Americans addicted to gaming, but that's the only memorable fact. Remember Pac-Man for the 2600? Even the Philips P2000 had better Pac-Man.

And it didn't become a hit in Europe, so it was not that good. So 2600 is mostly for T-shirts now:

The games can be forgotten.

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 ?

Look, I have a CRT TV in my cab and I love it.  I'm not trying to accelerate the push of CRT's out the door.  I'm merely saying this is where we are at and this is were we are going - you either accept that now or I suppose you can continue to post 17,000 messages about your love for CRT's.  But eventually this is going to fall on deaf ears. 

I personally dont "relish" the end of the CRT, for me specifically, I dont know where the hell I'm going to get a 4:3 aspect ration display once my 27" Toshiba CRT TV display shoots craps.

I suggest if your that worried about it you should make a point to spend your entire savings stocking up on what arcade monitors are still out there.  Think of it this way, you could have the little market of die hard CRT users cornered.  Who knows, you may even make a profit....

OK, I've been a little punchy lately and this topic is one of those that sets me off (perhaps due to the running battle with genesim last time around). I offer my apologies for going off on PBW79 and Flake.

As for stocking up, I have 7 monitors in reserve, including 4 19", and will be picking up another today. Unfortunately, I have 5 projects requiring 19" monitors, so won't have any left in reserve.

It seems that Betson still has 19" in stock, but I don't know how long that will last. Ken has been kind enough to post a list of other suppliers over on KLOV.

I will be interested to see what RickN has been working on with respect to LCDs and classic games.

Cheffo -

Well hey you dont have to apologize to me, I didnt really take any offense to your comments.  I understand your point of view.

A little off topic but if you have 24 cabs you must have a sweet game room.  Why dont you post some pics for us all to see? You must have one of the largest collections on this forum.

Your not anti-digital camera are you?  Still using Polaroid?   :laugh2:  I'm kidding of course, couldnt help myself.....
CheffoJeffo:
;)

The game room is a shambles and there are no immediate plans for renovation (RealLife(tm) stepped in and consumed the budget), so it isn't picture-worthy right now.

But, to show you how old school I have become, here is a picture of a game that I brought home today (thanks RayB -- she plays great!)... and for which replacement monitors have not been made for a LOOOOONG time.
