More cabs are using LCDs monitors - for better or for worse!
One of the issues with LCDs can be their viewing angles, which just aren't as good as CRTs. However, high end LCD panels (for example, IPS and PVA) have much better viewing angles than low end panels (which are tpyically TN), particularly vertical viewing angles.
I am making this thread to list all of the large LCDs that would work well for an arcade cabinet and have high end panels. I recently spent a lot of time hunting around for a nice panel and wish I'd had something like this. I am going to limit the list to LCDs that are larger than 19", and that have either a 4:3 or 16:10 aspect ratio (16:9 is not that great of an aspect ratio for cabs).
I know there are a lot more LCDs out there with great panels that you know about and I do not, so please list them in the hopes that someone can find a good deal online! Also feel free to let me know if there are any errors in my list, and I will update with the new information.
