Mame - TV - Suggestions

Postby darryldale » Mon Feb 05, 2018 7:45 pm

OK, so I've got a new PC loaded up with Hyperspin / Mame (Tiny Lenovo M73e system).

I'm in the process of having a pedestal stand built and already have the tankstick for it.

Last piece of the puzzle is a TV.

Going to go with something in the 32" range. Anybody have any suggestions? Any real benefit to going with a 1080p instead of something a little less expensive like a 720p? I've already got an active displayport to hdmi adapter that I'm going to be using.

P.S.

I'd rather go with a TV instead of computer monitor since I can then use it for audio as well without having to have a set of speakers.

Trying to keep things very simple.

Machine boots up into Hyperspin, exit hyperspin and computer powers down.

Not a perfect system but good enough to get in a couple games occasionally.

I use a 32" LED in my MAME pedestal setup connected with HDMI 720p and it works well.

Thanks.

Didn't want to spend a fortune so just picked up a cheap Insignia 32" 720P tv from Best Buy for $149

Should get the job done.

Get it all hooked up tonight and make sure it's working. Then just need to wait on the pedestal build.
