Gauntlet Legends LCD Upgrade

In general I think most folk here agree that games that were designed to be played on a CRT do not look correct on LCD monitors. Ultimately it's your decision though. I imagine it would work but IMO it won't look like it should and I believe arcade LCD's are not cheap.
 
Not sure where you are located but if there are other collectors in your area you might find someone who would sell you a nice used monitor that would work well for far less that the prices you quoted. At least that would be the route I would go. Although I can't recall if gauntlet legends uses a standard or med res monitor. Or if the board is switchable so it can use either.
 
My thoughts? I have seen the LCD kit and they actually look pretty good. Sure you can tell the difference but IMO they are a very reasonable alternative in a game with such sharp graphics as Gauntlet Legends. NeverEnough had a thread about the LCD he put in his Hydro Thunder. It looked great so do a search and see for yourself.

Good luck with your search.
 
Thanks I appreciate the info. I am located in Georgia. I figured the LCD would look better but was not sure.
 
Wait wait wait wait... anyone who's messed with LCD displays knows they are manufactured to display ONE RESOLUTION natively. This means anything else is SCALED, compressed, quantified, etc, to be displayed and can result in blocky, blurry, less-than-ideal overall images. I would seriously advise seeing it in action before laying down that mad amount of cash. When I need a 25" monitor, there are always people around my area who'll hook me up with a decent used one for $75. Put yer feelers out.
