Nothing worse than a cabinet using a rear projection CRT
>>12928596A CRT that large would've weighed more than the entire unit as it was released. The whole thing weighs 825 lbs, while a CRT of that size would've easily weighed over 1000 lbs.
>>12928596You don't get it, a real man loves it in the rear, 90s arcade tradition
>>12928596I think a cabinet that got "upgraded" to an LCD is probably worse.
>>12928610>90s arcade traditionThat's just what the old jewish guy at your arcade told you, anon.
>>12928596Rear projection tvs were awesome. I used them for years and I’m tired of the revisionist slander just because you used a half broken one.
>>12928596For long term use? Sure, more stuff to contend with in terms of maintenance.But actually seeing one in an arcade back in the day was magical.
>>12928824They looked crappy. Crappy contrast, crappy colors, crappy viewing angles, ghosting
>>12928835But they were huge and unique. Objectively maybe not the best display technology, but it doesn't change that it was cool as fuck to see one in an arcade back in the day.
>>12930626This. Seeing a 50-inch display in an arcade was fucking crazy back then.
