Anyone used a 19" LCD replacement monitor in a Midway Cocktail?

<< < (5/5)

Nice that looks awesome.  Great angles.   I couldn't find that seeing I am in the US so I took a chance on an Asus 19in Standard monitor.  I took some photos at different angles.  It looks like it will work for my needs.

Normal playing angle photo below



Lower playing angle photo below

Have you considered putting a piece of tinted plexi over top of your monitor?
It seems that the blacks you're getting out of it are a bit gray due to the brightness setting on your LCD (very prevalent in the first pic above). This would really help the contrast in your image.

Great idea. I have tinted glass om my galaga cab and that looks really amazing. I should have done the same with this one. That would probably also make it completely black when the screen is turned off.

@extendedplayarcade: Looks just fine. I also have one angle where the image looks crap.

Does the happs lcd monitors make the games at 15hz look better then a normal lcd monitor? 

And why not use a CRT if your going to buy a new monitor?  you can get a 19" for like 250 bucks or something.  (I think for vertical shooters the LCD is fine, but man, for classics?)

@ Sjaak Yeah I am presently surprised how good it looks for my needs.   My cocktail table is going to be one side that is against the wall



so the side against the wall will have the view of the worst angle.  So when someone sees the good angle the monitor will basicly be upside down.  I hope i explained that correctly.


@Lilwolf  I went LCD because of convinience.  They are easier to work with and I swore myself I would never buy or try not to use another crt monitor again.  The classic games while playing them looks quite good though IMO.
