I was just curious as it seems like a lot of people here just have a "regular sized" cabs. So who owns one of these gigantic bad boys.

I have a friend that has one of the 40" megalo 410's. Its too damn big. It looks like ass when running standard res, just because everything is so blown up.

My other beef with it was when you sit down at it, you cant see the whole screen. you have to look in all directions all the time to keep up. It also makes your eyes hurt after about 20 min or so.

It might be big and look badass, but its not good for home use imo.

I personally think standard res games over 25 inches start to look bad... the 25 inch monitor is tops for Neo, that's for sure!

25 inches is the perfect screen size for everyone IMO.

I bought a 50 inch back in time, but the damn piece of crap wouldn't fit through the door nor the windows, thus, had to turn it back.

Anyway, the resolution of such a big cab is not super good, it actually sucks, it's just like the feeling of playing on a huge screen what makes it special, but the quality really lacks IMO.

Aren't those 50 inch monitors just regular rear projection television with a RGB to NTSC converter in them?

I have a 34 inch wide screen and i can only just about take it all in i think any bigger and it would start to strain my eyes
However saying that i would love to see a neo geo game on a screen that big just to see how cool it would look,the biggest screen for a beat em up i ever see was a 42 inch sit down marvel vs x men and that was great.

anyone got any pics of this 50 inch screen as it would be cool to see.

The Neo Doesn't really scale to 40"/50" all that well. Everything looks to big and pixelated. 25" is sweet, not tried a 29" but i reckon thats the limit.

If you want a good example of low res looking like Sh**e on a big screen i recomend Die Hard Arcade / Dynamite Dekka (Sega St-V) on a 40" screen it looks like a moving cess pool - HORRIBLE!

it looked cool at first, but the picture was to pixelated and crappy

We in my anime club rent a theater every once in a while and we usually hold VG contests. This time we will be playing Puzzle Bobble on the big screen. I hope it doesn't look TOO much ass.
