Put a piece of smoked plexi over it and you won't see it. My cocktail cab was a working Capcom Bowling when I bought it, and I had no idea it was originally a Pacman till I removed the monitor and found the maze pattern burned into it.

My Roadblasters monitor has at least as much burn in as that one, I'll take a pic tommorow to post for comparasion.

I had one with Tetris burn in that was that bad or worse at one point. The smoked plexi idea works well. My Space Invaders has pretty bad burn it, but you can't see it with the plexi over it.

Smoked plexi costs more than a used monitor.  Just get a nonworking monitor of the same model # and swap the chassis with your working chassis.

I don't know where you're buying plexi, but the piece that goes over my SI monitor cost about $5.
