: Well, like I said, rather than try to find a gargantuan (and frightfully expensive) LCD for my marquee, I'm gonna try to set mine up like a rear projector. Shouldn't be too difficult, and should be an order of magnitude cheaper.
OK, now I am spilling everything that I wanted to hold off on for a few weeks...but...I intend on using a $40 laptop that I got off Ebay that has a 640X480 active matrix color screen to display the marquee on a Mame'd Gauntlet cabinet. (This was a Gauntlet that was already converted poorly to multiple other arcade games, so no flames please!) It will fit great where the marquee goes. This is the next cabinet that I will do as the one I am doing now will have a laptop display in the center top section of the control panel.
