LCD screens, lets see pics of em!

A 'cab' where the monitor isn't enclosed - and I don't see any reason it needs to be , as long as the internals aren't exposed, nor the monitor cables - would fit nearly any size LCD or Plasma. As for sitting distance, I don't like to be up that close anyway, and if using a large monitor and large panel, it means you have space in-between the two. I don't see a problem.
IN FACT, last night I was thinking of a decent-priced commercial grade modern cab design that any size box-type panel could 'fit on', as well as any LCD/plasma, and this last bit gives me the idea for adjustable viewing distance. (Of course, one could just move it forward close to the panel, but to satisfy the commercial look of no cables, etc, that would take an extra step....or maybe just a cable router. Something.)

How about a pic of some of your projects? I've built three cabinets (PC monitor, TV, LCD and working on one with an arcade monitor). Like you said, all inside the box though. I'd love to see what an outside the box thinker like yourself has built so far. Maybe sway my next project or something. :cheers:

Ok, I'm with Lew on this one. What are you seeing in those photos that I am not? :) All I see is a reflection of the side of the cabinet off of the tinted acrylic.
Really, those cabs are great designs, and well executed examples of the benefits of using flat panels.

It seems like they have been promising these things forever. I'm starting to wonder if they won't be surpassed by something better before they manage to come up with organics that can survive the test of time.

Let me know when you find a display that doesn't emit light :laugh2:
I have a CRT in my current arcade & glare is an issue too sometimes.
Its from plexi

There is no difference between TV's and Monitors on this. Problem though: You won't find S-PVA/S-IPS for monitors in stores! They are all mail-order. Computer stores only show TN displays (except the Apple iMacs/CD's, which use S-IPS).
With TV's you can compare the high quality S-PVA/S-IPS vs the low quality TN screens even in the dumbest TV shop.
The 3 I mention have no different habits on extreme angles as the best LCD-tv's, and are perfect suited for 2 player use.

Why does no-body consider NOLED's? Non-organic-leds. Organic is fine for apples and beef, not for a display! OLED's will grow mould in a few weeks I guess.
