TV or Monitor Question

<< < (4/4)

Lilwolf:
btw...

Other pros for TVs..

Easy hack for Xbox, PS2, ect..  Dreamcast is the only one that can easily get to an arcade monitor.

Consider smaller 19" arcade monitor.  MANY of the old games you are expected to be able to see the entire screen without moving your head (robotron)... the bigger the screen isn't always the better.  And there is a $139 19" new arcade monitor shipped with arcadevga for a 200 shipped installed solution!

Next...

ALWAYS go with what you have... have an extra TV around... you JUST found the BEST solution!  You can always swap it out later...  You can't unbuy something so easy.

That's been the fun of cabinet building for me. Going cheap and/or with what you have. I bought a cheapy used 21" VGA display but planned the cabinet to house a TV for when the day comes when I luck into the one with the right dimensions. I can make a change if/when the spirit moves me. I may swap an arcade monitor in there someday.

Cabinets are the best "tinkerer" projects. You can build many components (especially the computer stuff) from parts and cast-offs. Or swap for the stuff you need.
