Been messing around long enough sourcing a monitor for this Cruisn. It uses a medium res monitor, 25 inch or 27 inch. Ive heard all the hate for using LCD widescreens, but I went for it. I found an LG 26 inch LED! tv at Best Buy, open box, $269! Mounted it, used a EGA-VGA converter to upconvert the EGA to VGA. I used the converter boards picture adjustments to dial the screen size to match the bezel, so picture IS NOT stretched, IS NOT wierd looking, looks amazing. The monitor also automatically powers on when power is applied to the cabinet, no need to turn it on seperately.
I now have no idea why people on KLOV think the image would be stretched, all you have to do is adjust the picture with the board controls to bring it back to the 4:3 aspect. The picture is amazing.
This Cruisn is in excellent shape, but I did redo the black areas with appliance paint. Its real shiney and really hard, like automotive paint. New marquee, locks, t molding, the usual.
Im uploading a video now, will post it when its done so you can see the monitor. Anybody on the fence or considering going LCD or LED, should do it!!!
