just to be redundant.....



is it ok to use an LCD? Yes

is it "authentic"? No


its your cab, do what you want with it. If you aren't raping a classic then no ones gonna say anything negative about the cab, unless they are an ---uvula--- like pinballjim :)

EDIT:spelling

XeviouS:

You could look at it this way - if LCD technology had been available back in the 70's and 80's then the arcade machine makers would probably would have chosen to use them instead too.

LCD = dependable easy technology.

CRT = troublesome unreliable technology

I have a CRT, it will be LCD in 4-6 weeks I imagine.

daywane:
I have no choice. My Nintendo Cab has 2 monitors. I am yanking them now.
for the room I must use at least 1 LCD.
If I come up with the $$$ I will buy 1 more if not eather a TV or CRT will be on 1 side and LCD on other

Even that is debatable, as I see it the other way around.  ;)
