26" 4:3 LCDs

[CMYKhazi-Dan]

I'd like to see one working for my purposes. I feel like the scaling would disappoint me.

I bought two LCD monitors recently for my 800x600 PGA Golf. One looked good other was bad even though both should've done a good job as both were 1200px height.

I think it was the one that was not 4:3

Guess it all depends on what res you're scaling.

If anyone wants me to test a specific game on this screen I can give it a try as long as i have the means.

Unico is now shipping these to UK addresses. Just over £300 with postage. Seems they are currently finishing off an update that corrects the issues some people were having, so would be worth holding off. But in the next 6 months I can see me having one as it's a great back-up in my opinion .

Any links to the info on updates?

Is it a driver issue where existing units can be rectified?

Somewhere in the comments (I think on that post) it mentions an update that is currently being tested.

This is really promising. I have one of the first run, and to be honest i've not noticed any of these problems on it but i'm not hawk eyed or playing at God level on games with twitch reflexes!

That being said, it would be nice to be able to update it to do what it was always supposed to be doing.

there should be some cheap surplus 4:3 lcd's on the market soon,
i was in a pub the other day and some of the newer fruit machines are using twin 4:3 lcd's on them - we know stuff only lasts a few years before it often gets stripped and ebay'd

Wow, never thought of that

Personally I would wait on these monitors just to be sure nothing is needed when and if they reach my end.

Most of the older ones are 19" still an very usable size and better than wide screen ones. I got 2 frameless 19" but still nowhere neare pitting one in my cabs.

19" sounds like it may fit a cocktail cab
how much did you pay for yours?

It's all about the viewing angle for cocktails.
I got them together with other random stuff. They usually sell for 30€-60€.

 

[Mc-Q]

the viewing angle on the one in the pub is almost 180' so i suspect it's IPS

That looks really good to me in the Naomi, especially with the scanline generator.

Has anybody been managed to place an order for one of these through the website? It won't do the shipping address / method for me and I can't checkout!

I'm putting 16:10 IPS ones in my Sega PC Based Driving cabs, even if it's in 4:3 mode this screen is only about 1/2" smaller than the CRT's the height isn't much less and will look great on later widescreen games in full screen like Outrun 2 in 30"

I got a monitor with the PC I gave my nephew and thought this looks big even though it was only 24" it looked so much bigger than my 23" I'm using and found out it's 16:10 HP so it's got that extra height and just looks so much better

I saw them but the 26" and 32" appear to be 16:9

I really didn't want to replace CRT with LCD in mine but testing out the driving games anything Sega Rally/Daytona onwards looks okay, really it's just the 80's ones and there aren't that many anyway and most of the good ones I got originals so it just makes sense so you can play later PC based arcade ones also and all the PC driving games like Need For Speed series
