I have dozens of machines and some will never, ever get an LCD as long as I can still find tubes. But I have a Global VR Classics machine and the 25" tri-sync in it is absurdly expensive to fix. For the same price I upgraded to the LCD since the output is already VGA in that machine. I just had to make a custom wood frame for the LCD to sit in. Piece of cake. Colors look amazing and I didn't need to adjust a thing. Having the machine in a break room at the office means I don't have to worry about a tube monitor having issues over time. Much more reliable in this situation. Love it! Review: 4:3 LCD, Despite the criticism, this is currently the BEST option to replace CRTs in arcade machines - I am very happy there is finally a 4:3 aspect ratio flat screen monitor option for arcade machines in the 25inch or bigger category. This is easily the best option for actual arcade machines to replace CRT monitors with flat screens, for those who do not want to deal with arcade CRT monitors. At least until Unico releases their Pro model next year. Scaling may not be Retrotink5x/OSSC quality, but it is DEFINTIELY better than using a GBS-8200 on a standard PC monitor. Color is good, brightness and contrast is good. Viewing angles are decently good for an LCD, especially for an arcade cabinet where spectators like to watch from different angles. Definitely watch some youtube reviews on this before buying so you know what you are getting, cause there are issues. But despite the criticisms, there are work arounds for them (which Unico says they are fixing). I HIGHLY recommend you pick up one of those $13 CGA to VGA adapters off ebay. That way instead of plugging an arcade JAMMA board's RGBS signal directly into the monitor's RGBS input, you are plugging the signal into the monitor's VGA input. This monitor's VGA input will still read the RGBS 15khz signal, but through the VGA input will properly detect the signal's voltage correctly, and you wont have the contrast issues like many boards are having. This is how I get the monitor to look as good as it is on my Neo Geo. With Mortal Kombat games, the scaling does cut off some of the top and bottom of the screen, and it is not adjustable. But it is not a dealbreaker by any means. Gameplay area still good. Monitor powers up on its own when power is applied with no issues. None of that company logo pop up crap when turning on, which is my biggest beef when going the PC monitor/GBS8200 route (my Street Fighter 2 and MK1 currently dealing with this until I fix my spare CRTs or buy two more of these monitors). I do wish there was some mounting kit options for replacing standard 25 inch wells gardner monitors in Midway cabinets or things like that. But its not a heavy monitor by any means, and easy to buy some wood or metal and screws and rig something up, which is what I ended up doing for my Neo Geo. At a glance and even up close, looks like a factory install. Native resolution is 1204x768 fyi for those who plan on using this on a MAME device, or even as just a standard PC monitor. Unico talked on the 19kfox podcast that not only with the updated pro model that is coming out next year with the better resolution, that they are also going to sell upgraded circuit boards for this monitor here. So I am looking forward to that as well. I still plan on putting a CRT back in my Neo Geo as I prefer that in arcade machines (I'm a CRT purist for arcade hardware), but this Unico is growing on my and the best alternative, and I definitely will keep one of these around as a back up regardless. If I ever get tired of dealing with CRTs, and can't wait a year for the pro model, I'd definitely use these instead. ## Features - [26'' Arcade Monitor for 99% 26'' Arcade] The UNICO 26'' Arcade Gaming Monitor's ratio is a is 4:3. which could suit for 99% 26'' Gaming Arcade, such as: Arcade 1up ; CGA, EGA and So on. - [1024*768 LCD Gaming Screen] This 26'' arcade display is made of 1024*768 LCD panel and manufactured with advanced components, high quality display screen can provide better image quality, balanced image image, viewing angle and longer life, and it also can avoid traditional Burn-in of CRT monitors - [Easy to Remove & Replace] There are some built in connectors on back of the 26'' Arcade 1up replacement Monitor, which can be installed or removed quickly and suit for CGA/EGA, HDMI, and DB15 VGA signal. - [What You Get] 1* 26'' Arcade monitor, 1 * 12V3A Adapter.

Aspect ratio auto adjusts just fine. But if not then it has setting to adjust to your needs on the back of the screen. ## Frequently Bought Together - UNICO 26 inch Arcade Monitor, 4:3 Ratio LCD Gaming Monitor for HDMI/VGA/CGA/EGA Arcade Machine - Mcbazel Arcade Game RGB/CGA/EGA to VGA HD Game Video Output Converter Board for Arcade Monitor to CRT LCD PDP Projector - HPUY Arcade Monitor Adapter Board CGA to VGA or VGA to CGA Adapter CGA/VGA VGA/CGA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/541919596-arcade-monitor-26inch](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/541919596-arcade-monitor-26inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
