Midway Arcade Cabinet by Big Electronic Games
pbj:
Yeah, that was probably the biggest opinion flipflop in arcade collector history. Up until that point, everyone hated those cabinets and thought the emulation was terrible.
Then Clay announces he's the one that did it? All of the sudden he was a programming genius that got very accurate results with very cheap components. It was beyond ridiculous.
Only pinball one I've witnessed at that magnitude was when the Demolition Man swear ROMs were finally "released." After years of, "I've seen a copy but I gave my word I wouldn't distribute them" it turned out everyone had had them for years. :lol

I have an old Sharp 20" 4:3 LCD that I thought would be perfect. It kind of had to be old since you don't really see 4:3 LCD TVs anymore. Anyway, it's always been a good TV, thought it would be good for a replacement screen. Wow, was I wrong. Static pictures look FANTASTIC. Colors pop, pictures sharp. As soon as you start moving around the screen, the picture look horrible. All sorts of jaggies and blur. Blah. Will stick with the 13" CRT until a better replacement comes along.
EDIT: Maybe it was just 720 (Skate or Die). I tried a couple of the other games and it was less noticeable, bordering on acceptable. May keep the LCD option on the table or find a 20" tube tv for cheap/free on Craigslist.

Yeah... that motion blur is really noticeable. Personally, I think the 120Hz screens make the problem worse, not better. But I suspect the root cause is different.
Plasma seems to do better but has a "jittery" look. Took me months to get used to it but if I switch to a CRT for awhile my brain resets and I see it again.
Given that CRT is toast it's a shame we're forced to live with that kind of tradeoff.

Spent the $5 and started the upgrade :-)
New TV is mounted and very stable. Just need a new skin for the front.
