Fudoh's ode to old display technology

[andykara2003]

Your seller needs to be able to put whatever you buy on pallette and secure it on the pallette. Once it's on the pallette it will be handled with a lifter. No need for cases. Cabs get shipped on pallettes just fine.

Thanks Fudoh, that sounds right. Although by cabs do you mean unboxed/unprotected monitors?

[Lawfer]

They're TV's

Oh okay nevermind then.

If they are TVs, put them in a carton and secure it with styrofoam and use bubble wrap and all this on top of a pallet, be sure that everything is secured on top of the pallet (with these extremly sturdy plastic threads that hold everything together and keep the content fixed on the pallet), Iloxx will load it up the pallet and have it delivered it to you.

Oh, Cabs = Arcade Cabinets

Cool, nice one. I assumed that had to be seriously well strapped down!

Thanks so much guys - really appreciated. This forum is fantastic.....

I see Diablo, PuyoPuyo Fever and a Gamecube on the shelves.

What kinda displays are those, what are those little feet holding up the displays? did they come with the monitors?

[Fudoh]

That's 4:3 plasma sets. Check the opening post in this thread for the review. The feet usually come with the display, yes.

SD (640x480) 4:3 Plasma Monitors, perfect to play Playstation 1 and Dreamcast games (takes in VGA and RGBHV BNC). Yes of course the legs came with the monitors.

Looking out for one of these - your kit always seems so mint.

They pop up in the UK ebay from time to time, you could probably get one if you could drive to pick up the monitor from the seller.

Nice one. Just need to find one that's been looked after with no burn in.

That might be harder to do in the UK, most of the ones listed on the ebay UK seems to have at least one sort of defect and esthetically it shows signs that it was not cared for. On the german ebay usually the ones listed seem to be in better condition with no defects.

Dammit I had a feeling this would be the case.

Well, I said MOST of the ones listed, not all. This one seemed to have been in good condition:

Two in a month! That's hopeful. Should be able to ask them to access the hours the TV's done in the menu I guess (if they're willing).

Fudoh, out of interest what would an N64 look better on - this or an XRGB mini?

A European or NTSC Nintendo 64?

Rgb modded Jap

Rgb modded Jap

I see, me personally I would play an RGB Modded Nintendo 64 Jap using the Super Famicom scart official cable hooked to scart to RGBS, hooked to a 4:3 broadcast monitor such as the BVM-A/D20F1 from Sony.

[andykara2003]

Sure - I have the official gamecube cable (which works with my mod) but don't like anything smaller than 25 inches. I just read in an earlier post that Fudoh's just tested an N64 on a mini & liked it. I'm just wondering about the comparison of the pioneer vs the mini on a similar sized LCD/Plasma.

Then that one should work for you quite well:

£30!! What a deal! I'm looking for 4:3 though. I've decided on my CRT of choice but have an interest in these flatscreens too

Oh, so you want 4:3 but 25" minimum or more correct? Then your only options are the 640x480 40" Plasma Monitors, since you live in Europe and the frequency here is 50hz (US Monitors wont work here), then your only Options are Pioneer 40" 4:3 Plasma or Hantarex 4:3 40" Plasma.

In the US there is also Zenith P40V22 and the P40V24.

Sure - or the XRGB mini. I've got a hunch that this console might look better on the mini though.

You will need to wait for Fudoh, then he is the expert on this.

[andykara2003]

Will do. Thanks for your suggestions
