Title: Plexiglass Screen over LCD Monitor - Viewing Angles Affected?
Post by: StriderDSO on September 04, 2011, 08:28:04 pm

Hey everyone,

For anyone with an LCD MAME cab, I'm curious, are people using a plexiglass bezel still? I'm going to be using a 16:9 32" LCD for my build, and am concerned about viewing angles for players 3/4. They are only offset by about 60 degrees, which is well within spec of the supposed 170 degree angle the LCD TV that I have in mind has, but I'm wondering if a plexiglass cover in front of an LCD has any impact on this? Anyone able to comment on this? Should I use a plexi cover or not?

Thanks!

The plexi makes no difference in the LCD viewing.   If you can see it without the plexi it will be fine with the plexi.   The only difference maybe some reflections depending on where you have your cab.
