widescreen or not???
« on: July 20, 2014, 04:10:08 pm »
Hi,e

I'm building a cocktail cab and am on the lookout for a 19" monitor (LCD) to use with my 60-1 JAMMA card setup.  My question is, what ratio will  the JAMMA card use?  4:3, 16:9? is it adjustable?  My initial thoughts are go for widescreen so the player will also be closer to the screen when they are playing (if you know what I mean).  I was going to use my 21" but I just worked out it won't fit hehe so I'll have to downsize and buy one.

Thanks guys,

John

For a vertical 60-in-1 you want to use an inverted 4:3 display.

inverted?

anyways, if you get a widescreen the image will be stretched. Bets case would be a 17 or 19 inch 4:3 ratio monitor.

LOL, yeah sorry inverted was not the right choice of words as that would put it upside down.  :banghead:

Rotated or Portrait is what I should have said to be accurate, sorry.

Speaking from very recent experience do not go for widescreen. With a 60 in 1 board anyway.
I ditched mine and bought a Dell 4:3 and it worked a charm!  ;)

Yeah I bought a second hand Dell 19" 4:3 ratio.  I guess I'll find out soon enough.  Hope it's OK.

Thanks for the info

Thanks John
