LCD Screen Opinions...?
H2obuffalo:
Wow!
Thank you for posting that info I had no idea there were so many different LCD configurations.
My head is a spinnin' with questions now. :dizzy:
Now I hunt...
I need to find the Unicorn of LCD's
* Bright picture
* Low res capable but 1024x 768 available
* Viewable from all four sides
* no skipped frames
* 4/3 ratio. I hate wide screen.
* Needs to be mounted in a COCKTAIL CAB
Has anybody found anything close to these requirements?

I am building a cocktail MAME cabinet currently and I am using a Dell 19" 5:4 monitor. The model is Dell 1905FP. It's not perfect, I don't think they exist at this time but it meets all of my needs. It has good viewing angles from all four sides. Bright screen. Fits well in my cocktail cabinet. Was not expensive. Does 1024x768 and looks good. Itcan do 640x480 as well. It's native resolution is1280x1024, but I run HyperSpin at 1024x768 because that's it native resolution and this way I don't have to run with smoothing on. I use MAME's HLSL features to do scan lines and the monitor looks really good.
Should be easy to find one and use it in your build.

Looks like the Dell might be my ticket!

Here I put together a video that may help. I also tested the "lag" and they were both identical at an indiscernible 1 frame. I tested measuring the time when I clicked the button til the time Ms Pac moved on the scree. Now I'm not sure if the 1 frame lag was from the monitor displaying the image after receiving the signal, or from the Arcade SD jamma board I'm using, or the SLG3000 In between the monitor and the jamma board, or a combination of all 3.

I'm just starting to collect my parts as well but I'm going with a UA II model. Any tips on what to get and what size? I've seen everything from 17 to 19 to 27. How do you know where to start with displays?
