  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

160° horizontal and 178° vertical viewing angles

Just be careful how you are mounting as the horizontal viewing angle is not very good and you'll probably get some color shifting if viewing it from the sides ( so wouldn't suggest using it in a 2-player setup !! )

Different idea..... at 50 bucks with the 16:9 ratio it'd make a good video marquee.  The 19" might not look right though, depending upon your cab.

It didn't seem wide enough to make a decent marquee.
