This has probably been asked before, I did a short search and didn't find anything. But now that I've moved Pacman into the arcade, I've noticed after playing it several times, that it is really Quite dark.
I was curious who all left the dark plexi that sits on top of the monitor bezel on? If I remove it, the video is just fine, and everything is bright and clear. But the smoked plexi really makes a significant difference. It does look better with it on, and the lights are on, but when actually playing it with the plexi on, ugh.
Anyone else experience this or is it just me nitpicking again?
Speaking of darkness, I believe I used standard incandescent light bulbs for the Marquee, which really gives a very yellow look. Has anyone tried the 'white' energy saver bulbs that are prevalent now or gone above 25watts on the bulbs?
 
It's possible that someone replaced it with a darker-than-normal tint, but it's there to not only make the black look blacker, but to help hide the burn-in that usually shows up soon on Pac's.

If you can't see it well with the light off, then turn up the brightness of the monitor...
 
Am I just being silly or does the G07-cbo not have a brightness adjust?
 
Yea it says that it's the screen adjust. I'll try that, I thought that was more contrast. I'll check it out tonight. Thanks.
