21" CRT VS 17" LCD
DaOld Man:
I asked this question in the video section, but only got one response.
I have a 21" CRT PC monitor I was going to put in my arcade, which currently has a 17" PC CRT.
I ordered one of those cheap 17" LCD monitors, and am thinking of installing it instead.
I would like to make a rotating setup, and I know it will be much easier with the LCD.
So my question is:
Which would you prefer?
(1) 17" LCD rotating
(2) 17" LCD non-rotating
(3) 21" CRT rotating
(4) 21" CRT non-rotating
(5) 21" LCD
Avrus:
It's going to be a personal preference that only you can decide. The critical questions you need to answer for yourself are:
How many vertical games are you going to play?
Is vertical orientation important for those games?
Is authentic resolution reproduction important to you?
That last one is a big one.

Well, I have a 17" LCD on my desktop PC, when I turn it vertical, Galaga 88 looks much much better.

I think heffe2001 said exactly what I was thinking. The 21 CRT is good...but the effort is almost not worth it. A 21" 4:3 with a thin black frame LCD would be my choice. I'm thinking I might get one to put away for a rainy day. Most everything has gone wide screen.
