Well, when you rotate the LCD 90 degrees, this will become all the more apparent as you move slightly to the left or right. It will undoubtedly drive you batty the longer you play it.

Oooohhhhhh. Now that I think about it, you're right. So, if I were to buy a CRT monitor, CRT TV, or an actual arcade monitor, will this problem occur?

Nope. You get constant brightness and contrast on a CRT from any viewing angle. Try for yourself with a CRT TV you may happen to have.

It won't happen if you get an IPS or PVA monitor either, at least not as bad.

These CRT TVs. I have one, it's just that it's too big to fit in a Pac-Man cabinet at 25", and that's the TV I use to play my video games on, so that's a no. How much would a cheap 19" TV cost, since I'm on a tight budget, and exactly, how does one connect a TV to a computer?
