madmart22 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I am thinking about putting my pc in a cabinet now I have it all set up with Bigbox. Can you get narrow lcd screens that are a similar size to the actual marquee on the actual arcade cabinet ? then you could display the actual marquee on the cabinet and have it change depending on the game by maybee setting it up as a second scree ??? Think that would look pretty cool but dont know it such a thing is available ? I cant see anything but... I am pretty new on this so maybee its a stupid question :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) They are available but relative to a normal pc screen are pretty pricey. Search "stretched lcd" on a site like Alibaba and you will find them ranging from about $500 and up depending on size. Something like a 28" size is typically around $500.

Retro808 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 They do look amazing. We did one in a friends cabinet. Only issue is stretched marquee images are not readily made for all the systems we put in his cabinet. So he has had to make a lot of them himself.

Lordmonkus Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 If you wanna see something really cool but also totally insane check out this cab build which has an LCD panel marquee. Scroll most of the way down the first page to see the end result, it's badass but not cheap. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,149109.0.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
