Well pretty much, to be honest. Does this include you? I'd assume for someone to be defensive about it, this is why. I just think that as an onlooker I have reason to have this opinion.. they post the pic and my only role is to judge it's aesthetics
I think you guys that are saying cabs with small monitors look stupid should start donating some money to those who don't have a moniitor large enough. Then you can rip on them for not coming to you for the $$$ to get a decent monitor. They can then just be stupid and not broke....
No that's not the solution and it's not their fault.
Also, to those ripping on cabs and the monitors, please post pics of what you have done in this thread, I would love to see them.
And what exactly are you going to say? To those with nice cabs and with nice big monitors? To those with nice monitors but a cabinet or control panel you dont like? See, I'm sure you have your own opinions which you have a right to, and to express
The inital post was tacky, defending it is tacky, I have to agree with Saint.

You are such an ass it is amazing. yeah pretty much they suck.... ya ever hear of "if you dont have anything nice to say...." If you think their cab isn't so great, then give them consturctive criticism. Say "it might look nicer with a bigger monitor" not "you cab is crap cuz you dont have a 32034" TV LOLOLO you suck, i rule" You can criticize aesthetics, but you don't have to be a ---meecrob--- while you do it.
And as for what would you say to pics..... where are pics of your cab? You make it seem like ANY cab with a big monitor is AUTOMATICALLY awesome.... sorry... no. In fact, a lot of arcade games just aren't as much fun on large monitors. Just because you can get a 50" TV doesnt mean it should be in your cab.
There are plenty of cabs with large screens that aren't very nice aesthetic wise... the monitor does not make the cab.
Your argument is juvenile... just like all your other posts.

The thread then degenerated to:
"It really is just pitiful
people with bezels that are a foot long each side, it's just disgusting
make your cabinet and then put a baby TV in there...
it's so so so ugly"
which is clearly insulting.
Your initial posts were fine as well. Then however, you posted a picture of a person's cab, captioned: "*screams like a girl at the horror*" -- how do you think the owner of that cab feels about that? Now, benefit of the doubt, I don't think you meant to belittle anyone per se, though I think that was the end result. Even up to that point you'll notice I didn't post my opinion of the thread, just rebutted the perspective with my own. You even posted a plea to keep the thread light hearted, which I appreciated.
Unfortunately, SubZero fed off your posted picture, and responded with: "hehthat is the worst "arcade" cab i've ever seen" -- now if that isn't just plain mean I'm afraid I don't know what is.
Note to SubZero: In that same thread, you pointed out you thought TV's were fine and you didn't think arcade monitors were any better than TV's. Those are fine points to bring up and you didn't slam or belittle anyone in them. Just so you know I saw both sides of your coin there, and don't think you're always particularly evil.

so what? why does it bother you so much? The people defending this "gotta have big monitors" argument don't seem to understand you are calling out and insulting people on the board.
Cuz they're ugly to be honest. They don't bother me so much, they're just ugly that's all. I'm not insulting anyone.
You're making fun of people who put a lot of effort into these things, then call some of us jerks for trying to defend people for working with what they have and using what they can afford.
I didn't call anyone a jerk? I just don't think they should do it. It's my opinion, why should they care? I'm not openly making fun of them but I'm not against it :P
I have 3 15" PC monitors in my basement... if I was buillding a cab... why would I go buy a new TV? or even a used one?? I HAVE monitors already... ever think that's the case with some of these?
Is it really that hard to figure out?

opinions are one thing.. insulting people is another entirely. You are of course entitled to your opinion.. everyone is. You don't have to shove it down everyone's throat however or express it so condescendingly.
no, you didn't say "jerK" but the implication is there. It's pretty clear you don't think it should be done which is fine. However, it's also clear that you think you are better than these people.
as for "Is it really that hard to figure out?" I don't even know how to respond to that... you think a person with parts already... SHOULD buy a new tv... even if it means it would take longer to get the cab up and running? If I were in this position... I should just let the monitors I have gather dust? A bit absurd no?
