| 26" LCD MONITOR!!! |

| Blanka:
What really bothers me is that these Wells Garders and co are still in the CRT era with their specs. With LCD we want to know these things: * Panel type: S-PVA/S-IPS/TN * Resolution: 1024x768 interpolates different as 1600x1200 * Input lag: the CRT's gave an istant image, a 26 inch TN screen is much slower (it is a myth that TN is superfast. This seems to apply only on sub-23 inch screens), and probably even worse with CGA conversion logic. * Static contrast ratio: with LCD backlight can really hinder compared to CRT, so 1:1000 static is a minimum to begin with |

I might drop them a mail just to see cost and to ask for more specs. ??? |

You can see the shadow mask elements, which limits the fine-ness, even on my (I think) .68mm dot pitch Billabs capable of XGA. If you aren't viewing dim or/and high-res photos, you're okay. |

It always really just comes down to this. Any fan of an old analog game console system or an arcade game is just running into a brick wall lately unless the only thing they care about is running xbox or xbox 360, etc. If you want to run a recent digital capable console or complete arcade board system enclosed in a big box called a cabinet with good results, you are in fact a prime candidate for a caseless, frameless all digital flat screen like the ones being sold by happ. If not, and you are interested in playing tons of classics, anybody in the know will almost always direct you to, and reccomend a hybrid 25, or 27" crt for your project. these beasts generally support the lowest and least best windows display, as well as being able to display everything released up until 1995 in their native resolutions with no flicker or incompatibility or other distortions. In fact, I myself replaced (and ended up putting it back into place) A 40" Crt analog Tv, only reason being that the new 720 P digital Tv was incomatible with my 2600 and my Nes, even though it supposedly had the inputs for them. What i did do instead of taking it back was to hook it up to my computer and give me a giant screen. It worked great for windows but absolutely refused to acknowledge any lower resolutions besides what Mame would give it. So after i waited and i couldnt take it back, i just shelved the whole mess and bought myself a true pc monitor, a 28" samsung that was capable of displaying almost any resolution, and ive run with that since. Anyone in the know will simply tell you dont ever buy a 720p, or a 1080 I, if you plan on hooking a Nes or snes up to it. |

mvsfan, would you mind saying what kind of TV wouldn't display your NES? This was using a composite input? The reason I ask is that I have a 52" Sony LCD, and although I've never tried hooking an older console up to it, we have hooked up a couple of games for my kid... One is a dancemat thing, the other is a Sesame Street bongo game. They are both very low resolution, in fact I thought these might be based on those Nintendo-on-a-chip type all in one games and they displayed fine. Ugly graphics, but no issues with the TV putting them up there. |
