Title: Its been awhile and I'm getting the Arcade bug again. Monitor selection is slim
Post by: muell67 on July 11, 2015, 12:54:20 pm

I have an old Konami 4 player cab completely stripped in my basement (I think it was originally tmnt). Where it has been for probably the last 10 years. Im wanting to finally finish it but I dont think I want the original wells gardner 25" with slight burn in that is in my garage. I think Id like something that will do higher resolution but the only thing I can find is the 27" makvision http://na.suzohapp.com/amusement_products/monitors/49-2717-00http://na.suzohapp.com/amusement_products/monitors/492717-00 (http://na.suzohapp.com/amusement_products/monitors/49-2717-00http://na.suzohapp.com/amusement_products/monitors/492717-00) Is this the best currently available? My other thought was trying to get a 28" widescreen LCD monitor or tv and that it wouldn't be to much smaller when shown in 4:3 than the original 25" was. What is the benefit besides mounting, with going for an actual arcade lcd. Any one have any monitor advice for someone just getting back into arcades.

I wouldn't get the 28" widescreen, the 4:3 picture size will be only 21 inches.
