    Thank you for the video! I followed the instructions and my cabinet looks beautiful now! I did my own mod of this cabinet, I modified the joysticks swapping it to a traditional setup, exchanged the screen board by the Owootecc NT68676 (luckily it worked) and added my pi to the cabinet, with batocera and sinden lightguns. The screen swap made a huge difference, looks like a new cabinet now. Thanks once again!

    The stool didn't fix the issue, although it improved a bit. Bought a Dell monitor, followed your instructions and the difference is astonishing.
    The viewing angles are much better with no noticeable fade out. It's not as good as the BOE monitor in my Defender partycade, but seems on par with my Star Wars cab.
    This is what they should have shipped with. Considering the sheer number or Legacy cabs that have garbage monitors, it's evident that Arcade 1up won't do anything about it. So we have to do it ourselves. The Dell is inexpensive and basically a drop in replacement. Get it while you can.

    I found a pacman arcade 1up,I assume and older version, but it didn't have a monitor. It has a small motherboard with it and the ribbon that does from the buttons to the said motherboard but other than that everything else is missing. I really want to try and get it working and build my own cabinet. Yours was the closest video I could find but I still think I'm missing a cord and maybe another motherboard. Do you recommend a site that shows it all or could this be a lost cause?

      @DannyWelch I looked at some other videos and it looks like it's the motherboard that goes between the button panel and the original screen, and the original screen had another motherboard on the back of it. Sorry if I'm not using the correct lingo this is the first time I'm attempting an actual arcade machine so this I felt like was an easy first step for me. There's definitely a cable that is missing between this board and the monitor and I'm not too sure if I understand how the monitor goes to it yet.

    I have some questions: The Dell E1715s is listed online as a TN Panel. I thought that video was claiming that it is a BOE monitor, but this may be referring to other Aracade1up monitors. Is the Dell better than Aracade1up?
    Dell says that E1715s has a 5:4 aspect ratio. I thought that the Aracade1ups had a 4:3 aspect ratio?
    Will this work in my Atari 10 game cabinet? My display is malfunctioning. I saw an E170Sb for sale that seemed to have the same specifications as the E1715s. Should I stick with the E1715s?

    • @DannyWelch
      @DannyWelch  Год назад

      It is not a replacement for the BOE. As you noted, it is 5:4, which was the ratio used in a handful of A1Ups (Atari Legacy Centipede, Midway Legacy MK and Joust, Dig Dug, and Super Pac Man). If you need a replacement for any 4:3 cabinet, I would try to get a BOE.

Is there any way you could adjust the e1715 settings for better contrast/brightness before you install or are the monitor settings parts removed in the transplant so to speak?

I’m not one who usually complains about the quality of the controls or screens in A1Ups, but this screen is noticeably washed out. If I had been smart I would have followed this video and replaced the monitor before assembling the cabinet. This cabinet was a real struggle to assemble and the idea of even partially reopening it is not something I want to do. Plus it’s still going to be a horizontal monitor in a Centipede cab. 🙁

      Mostly for the black/contrast level and off-angle viewing in this case. The TN monitor they used in the MK/Centipede/Pacmania/DigDug cabinets have pretty poor black levels and the color washes out quite a bit when viewed from above, which is really bad for taller players when standing. Do not use the Dell E1715s panel in a vertical cabinet. 19kfox did that in his Pacmania cabinet and it is really bad when viewed off-angle from the left. Not a problem at all in a horizontal cabinet though.
