Title: 26" LCD Recommendations?
Post by: Xynie on July 27, 2010, 12:21:55 pm

So, I have just about given up on finding a 25" Tube TV to use in my cab... no stores carry them, no one responds on craigslist, and pawn shops had stuff older then my first 2600 :)  Anyways, reading here I have seen briefly that some people have used 26" 16:10 LCDs in place of 25" 4:3 TVs.  I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some experiences?  What are the positives and negatives?  What resolutions are you running, and what connection?  Any recommendations on specific LCD screens to fit a cab better? (Maybe something without a stand, usually wall mounted?) 

Thanks for your help, as always!

I have a 32 inch TV that I am looking at using in a pinball table.   It is 1080p and has a VGA input so it works just like a big monitor.  Alot cheaper then a PC monitor of that size.
