![]() ![]() Since all of my Pinball X "dual middle screen" media (which is one single picture or video) was created with a 5:4 ratio, it now all has to be re-done to look proper with a 16:9 ratio. You'll have to excuse the squished Visual Pinball logo. (the shapes can be anything, I was just testing) Notice they are matching in colour with the speaker holes. These are actually the equivalent of the 5 RGB flashers that is displayed for this table. You'll notice that the LED matrix below has 5 shapes. and voila! Let there be discrete 4 RGB "flasher" lights!Įach speaker hole is now the Outer Left, Left, Right, Outer Right RGB flasher (center flasher is backbox backlighting). then I put speaker cloth on the back of each hole with an elastic band. then I cut the bezel out of thin backboard, and hot-glued a RGB LED speaker spacer at each hole (after putting on carbon fibre vinyl wrap and automotive car trim in each hole). I cut a notch out at the bottom and put in a strip of RGB LEDs all around then inside. I figured, since my left and right speakers each have 2 smaller speakers.then why not have 4 speaker holes in the bezel!īelow is a 2 inch PVC coupler fitting (I think). It would end up blending colours and not be distinctive enough. but I didn't like having 2 "flashers" within the same speaker hole. Since I had my RGB "flashers" inside my two speaker holes before and really liked how it worked, I wanted to still have that. My "dual" screens would be closer together, and the top half a little bit smaller. I now had a little bit of space above and below the TV since this is a widescreen monitor.įor the bezel, I now had a wider screen space, but that also meant that my speakers would have to be mounted to the farthest sides of the backbox. It also had 1:1 pixel mapping which made for a perfect crisp image.Īfter a bit of work, I was able to get to get it mounted in a way that could easily be adjusted in the future if I had to replaced this one. It fit nicely and was the widest I could go.the colours were really was only $80 CDN new.and unlike the previous monitor which was a ***** mount, this had a standard vesa mount. (and it would look silly with only a DMD in there with lots of unused space) I really wanted to keep the "dual" screen function and I didn't have anough room for both a real DMD and a small screen (of decent size) in the space I had. I didn't want to bother with another 5:4 monitor, because they are all old now, and I wanted to have something that could easily be replaced in the future. ![]() I now needed to get a new middle screen, and I had to re-build my bezel and speaker arrangement to accommodate it. OK.so my middle "dual" screen which was a 5:4 monitor died on me (after 10 years of service). ![]()
