Does it?
Does it to you?
If the game is perfect in every other way, but the monitor has some burn, is it still worth less?
The only time screen burn bothers me is if it's from a different game.

One of these days I'll learn how to perform tube swaps so I don't continue using these old burned in monitors in some of my games.
Save your money for a new monitor. You will LOVE it. It looks sooo good!
Trust me, if you can, buy a new monitor.
The monitor is the MAIN THING you use on a arcade game.
As you well know, they will only keep getting higher. I say enjoy the games you have and put in a new monitor if the game is a keeper. You won't regret it.I hear you...I just have a hard time spending 250-300+ on a new monitor when I could buy another game for the same amount. CRTs are the new "RARE RARE RARE!!! GET IT NOW" item....prices keep rising. It's either deal with the burn-in until it's intolerable or drop $1200 to replace them in the four games I have that could use them :/
