MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: Marquee Monitor

I did ponder an idea similar to this initially but scrapped it because it would just look too hokey for a stand-up cabinet. I did find this http://www.digitalsignagemaker.com/en/products/show.asp?ID=246&MaxID=27&MinID=61, which would be ideal for my purposes, but it's not a monitor; it's apparently a two-screen device where you load individual files via USB and play them.

However, I've changed my mind about an upright cabinet and am instead going to build a sit-down, Star-Wars-type booth, and this idea would lend itself well to that. I can have the top half of the screen sticking out of the top of the cabinet and have it serve multiple functions. It can either ditto the marquee or display a reduction of the game screen for outside viewers to see, etc. At that rate, I wouldn't even need a widescreen monitor format.
