Q. I am getting an arcade cabinet made in 2002 with a 27" CRT monitor inside it. I have to keep it in my garage which is uninsulated. I am investigating potential winter use, but have heard that CRTs and cold weather do not get along.
What is the lowest operating temperature for a CRT monitor? What happens if you run it below this temperature?

A. CRT monitors are not that affected by cold. Condensation would only happen if you took a cold object, like a monitor, from the cold (your garage) into a warm environment (the house) where the humidity in the air would then condense on the cold surfaces. Otherwise condensation is not a concern.
CRT's will take a little bit to warm up, as they use heaters in the tubes to generate enough heat to produce the electrons, but otherwise they will work just fine.
Now LCD's and cold weather can be an issue, as they would become slow to respond and potentially could freeze and break if cold enough, due to the liquid crystals inside reacting with the cold, but I've not had one break on me yet with temps down below zero.

where can i find a 4:3 lcd tv for inside a arcade cabinet?
Q. What i did was took an old arcade cabinet and gutted it. I want to put a playstation with a tv inside of it. Problem is all new tvs are 16:9. I need an lcd tv thats 4:3 since the arcade machine used to have a tube television in it. Can anyone help?
A. No new 4:3 LCDs are being made anymore, you'll have to look on the used market. Best option is to get the largest 4:3 or 5:4 LCD monitor you can find, which will probably be about 19 inches or so. But be ready to be disappointed by the picture quality. Arcade games are intended for use with a high-contrast CRT monitor.
