I dont know if you guys noticed but on the display lag page they have increased the ms to 26 on the Samsung UN32EH4003 LED…I mean wth? Maybe most people stick to the asus but come on that tv cost me 200+ dollars. I tought my timings where bad on combos and such and now I know.
Now the 60 inch sony shows thats better than my samsung, would you guys would risk to pay lots of dollars now that they changed those results?
I see a lot of people are using TV’s for their Kraylix. Why don’t more people use a monitor? Don’t they have almost 0 lag?
Well, generally speaking, any monitors in the 32" size are going to be monstrously expensive, and have high resolutions that aren’t really needed for this generation (or next gen) consoles.
They are more expensive, for sure. I wrestled with what to do for a while and finally caved in favor of a monitor. I think I got mine for $400. I figured since I have so much into it anyway, I might as well splurge on a nice monitor. No regrets. this thing looks and feels amazing
32" for $400? Do share! 
Please link me to any that exist.
I’ve been having some trouble with artwork on my Kraylix. I had heard a few people here printed theirs on posters, it works perfectly for the size of the templates. But I guess I need cardboard or something to mount them on?
The top portion of the cabinet has NO backing. You usually sandwich the artwork between something but there’s nothing at the top, it’s just a big empty portion. We taped it up temporarily but it looks hideous.
The artworks on the control panel also have issues. The buttons/stick area is very rough and unsanded, these push through the artwork and show texture through the poster paper. Same with where the move data goes, it has a big empty area beneath it. I don’t understand why these areas aren’t flat and finished. The two on the control panel can probably be solved with cheap posterboard from walmart but I’m curious what others have done.
The top portion of the cabinet straight up infuriates me though. The amount of rigging I’ve had to do on this cabinet is kind of upsetting.
I also can’t figure out how to mount my speakers WITH the grill. Anyone perhaps have some insight?
These are what I have:

Syrous,
For the art, I bought a second upper piece from Kray and sandwhiched it that way. Worked like a charm. For the rest it was ok to fit under the plexi without issue. I don’t notice a texture using a backlit film.
For the speakers, you should be able to use a screw through the grill and the speaker. That’s how I mounted mine. Home Depot sells some black screw head covers you can use to hide them really well as well.
If you need artwork printed, I am getting some backlit paper for my machine here shortly and can print something really nice up for you!

Yeah, where have people been printing their art? It’d be great to get something on thick/heavy cardstock that won’t fold in on itself, especially for the marquee on top.
It just seems so obvious you need the 2nd piece, why ship without it? He’s been building these for years, what have people been doing? I finally got pissed enough at the speaker grills and figured out they come apart.
The speakers shipped with no directions whatsoever and looking at random installation videos wasn’t shedding any light on these particular grills. I honestly thought I broke them. The grill itself pops out of the frame (the grill covers the screw holes)
I’ll probably just mount some cardboard beneath the art. Thanks though.
As for the above question, we’ve been doing all our printing at Staples. They’re really good and strangely well educated. But for that size they only do poster prints which actually look really nice, but I need something sturdier beneath.
Edit: also what kind of amps are people using? The small ones that seem appropriate all have some pretty terrible reviews on them (on Amazon).
Here is one for a little over $400. It has 8ms, which I think is fine. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001665
I would find a printshop for your art needs. My local guy sat me down with the art I had and helped me step by step. Ended up getting it printed on some type of vinyl that was made to be lit from behind
That’s 8ms grey-to-grey response time actually, which is different from input time, unfortunately. Response time is how long it takes the monitor to transition colors/images to avoid a ghosting effect. That said, monitors generally do have much better input lag than TVs since there is less pre-processing of the signal.
The print shop might not be a bad idea, though I’ve had a tough time finding something locally. Last time I tried to get some magnetic numbers printed for my car and found it nearly impossible! I ended up just printing out a 8.5x11 sheet, taping it a magnetic sheet, and taking to it with some scissors. D:
Any ultra templates around?
Can anyone confirm if the plexiglass dimensions are the same as the artwork dimensions? I assume they are, but never hurts to confirm. I am thinking about going ultra-minimalist and doing a black plexi with some colored buttons. Nice and simple without being too busy.
An Ultra template would be awesome
Hello…!! So i was wondering, do any of you know how much does the Half V4 Kraylix cost?? im really looking foward to get one on my hands n.n
Hey. I’ve had a Kraylix cab for awhile now and I still haven’t gotten it painted. I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions about where I can get it done at?
I think some people are taking them to auto shops. It’s going to cost you though. I think the last price I heard was 500-600.
I got tired of looking for painters they all have said that it will sponge so I did it myself primed it then plastidip total cost like 50 bucks.
I came across a cheaper option while browsing at work last night, no painting needed: http://www.recroommasters.com/sit_down_arcade_p/rm-xt-sd-t.htm
They also have lost of other cheap prefab arcade kits, though most of them are designed for X-arcade sticks. Anyone here familiar with that company’s work?
What does this have to do with a Kraylix? If you want to know more about it create a new thread about those cabs or search to see if there is already a thread made about it.
