arcade1up lcd screen replacement quotation

We recently ordered this along with our cabinet mod kit upgrades. I was a little hesitant to get this widescreen monitor because, even though it is larger than our originally installed monitor, our cabinet had featured portrait-oriented games like Ms. Pac-man and Dig-dug. So, with this monitor I knew we’d be losing a little bit of vertical real estate. However, since the majority of games that are on the 6,000 game upgrade are widescreen, my kids talked me into this. I’m really glad we went with it after all. Sure, a handful of the oldest arcade games are smaller than with our previously vertical-oriented screen, but we used the ArcadeModUp suggestion and added the marquee graphics on the side and that adds so much to the experience. And, it goes without saying, all the horizontally-oriented games (which are the vast majority) look INFINITELY better on this larger screen. The quality of the image is extremely good as well. Extremely satisfied with our purchase. Thanks so much!

I purchased a game arcade, Mortal Kombat Superb Combo w/riser (sku# ****) and Mortal Kombat stool (sku#****) from the Arcade1Up website with an order date on the packing slip of 4/27/2021 (Order #*******, ref. number *****, and customer # **). The actual order date was 4/23/2021, and the total cost was $606.35. They offer a 30 day window for returns. I first reached out to them on 4/29/21 through email via their "contact us" option on their website. My contact has shifted between Kristina - a technical support representative and Sam - a technical support representative. In an effort to save about $170 or more in shipping I offered to deliver the game cabinet myself to their facility located about 20 minutes from my home. This would ensure safe delivery as well as save me money. I just want to return the item to receive my refund. It has been 6 days since they said they would respond to my last email. I have been given the run around. Please help resolve this issue. Thank you.

CRTs can be abundant if you have good places in your local community to look, but they are getting trickier to track down each passing year. And while nothing’s stopping you from using a modern LCD for retro gaming, you may want to track down a square-shaped LCD (mostly 4:3 aspect ratio) so your classic content seems a bit more “at home” — avoiding those black bars.

So whether you’re looking for a cheap 4:3 LCD to use with your MiSTER FPGA setup, have a classic personal computer, or just want something for watching “full screen” video content or a emulation box to run on, I’m hoping this guide is helpful in your shopping.

Granted LCDs, especially older models, aren’t ideal for retro gaming compared to CRTs. LCDs often down’t have as deep of black colors and there is input lag involved among some other issues.

However, LCDs are easier to move around and store and use less electricity. And even though there are many die-hard CRT fans out there, there are also many long-time retro fans that have been using the recommended monitors below for a while and been happy with their performance. I’ve even quoted and handful of enthusiasts to give you a good perspective on these recommendations. And don’t forget, eventually LCDs might be much easier to find and purchase remotely then the CRTs counterparts.

Early LCD monitors may show a lack of technical maturity, however, near some of the later ones that we are focusing on have some decent IPS technology with reasonable color and response times.

In the end, I thought this would be a fun, lighthearted look at some options for those that are interested. If you have any commentary on the matter, please share your thoughts and suggestions in the comments section below. Just be respectful — not looking for CRT vs LCD wars
