LCD monitor
« on: April 23, 2007, 04:15:20 pm »
Has anyone here attempted to use a LCD monitor in a cabinet?  I can get a 22" for 200 bucks and I want to go for it.

I have heard there is resolution problems though with a LCD monitor.  I am not a videophyte so if something doesn't look arcade exact I am fine with that.  I just want to be able to play pac-man, donkey Kong etc... and still have it look nice.

I use an LCD in one of my cabs, but it's a 1600x1200 LCD and I use it for playing old vector games and games made with in the last 7 years only. I haven't really messed with trying to get anything like pac-man looking good on it.
