[QUOTE="TerryRed, post: 245449, member: 5962"] AAAAAAH! Disaster has struck. My center "DMD" / Marquee / extra display" monitor has died*on me. I can't complain, it was 10 years old after all.... However, that means I have to replace it with a new monitor / TV. The bad news, is: I have to figure out how to mount this new screen. Old one was a 5:4 monitor with no vesa mount at all, new one is a 16:9 TV. I have to make a new bezel to fit this new screen. I have to re-do all my media*to fit the new bezel. New bezel will be a tad bit shorter on the 4th display Future Pinball tables all have to be re-edited to fit the new bezel's 4th display area. Good news: The screen quality and colours will look much nicer. (You guys can't tell how dim and faded it was looking by*my pics or videos) I may re-do the speakers into 4 holes to better accommodate my RGB "flashers". I'll have a monitor that will be much easier to remove. I can hear you guys screaming.... "Dude, get a real DMD!" If I put a real DMD into the*back of my cabinet, there would be ALOT of unused space left as I can't fit*another screen and a DMD into there. It really would look odd, and I'd hate it. Also, I really like having that extra "display area". Especially for MAME and Future Pinball. Also, the cost of a DMD even with DIY would cost alot more than this new screen which was real cheap and looks great. Alot of work to do now....but once its installed I WILL show some gameplay footage of VP with the addressable LEDS and matrix, before re-doing all the other stuff. [/QUOTE]
