Title: Monitor for Cruis'n
Post by: moogrum on November 14, 2014, 12:04:12 pm
Can anybody recommend a good monitor for a cruis'n exotica?  Flat screen is ok. I'm just not exactly sure what I should be looking for or what a good price range is.

Do you have a dedicated or a conversion from a world or USA?

The USA and world games used a 25 inch U5000 or K7500.
Exotica used a 27 inch. The games are medium res so you can't just use any monitor you find.
You are probably going to be stuck using a converter box and a LCD screen. I think a 29 or 27 inch LCD will fit in the cab fairly well but of course look kind of bad with the horizontal stretching.

If you want to go with a monitor a makvision 27 inch is pretty much your only option for new tubes.

It is a dedicated and right bow it has a 24" LCD with a converter box and it just looks washed out for some reason. I think a bigger monitor would fix it.
