Arcade1up 20" Monitor Upgrade Kit - How To Install - Tulsa Arcades!

[@nitronamous]

I made my own mount with this same dell monitor. it’s nice but with this price as cheap as it is I would go with Tulsa Arcade kit. Best thing I’ve done to my Arcade 1up!

[@chunkylover5367]

Thanks for the insight. Was thinking about doing this myself as well, but you make a strong argument.

[@dangerestrada9397]

How do you get sound does it work with stock speakers or do you have to do something else.?

THis is awesome! I've been looking all over the internet for exactly this! Can't wait to get this upgrade!

[@MasterShake300]

I have some of these 20” Dell Monitors, at one point you couldn’t give them away! Nice to know I can put them to use now!

[@DJ_Blaker]

Sweet video! The 20" monitor is really a great looking upgrade to an Arcade 1up Cab!

[@mikemoxi8290]

Power Button. You have to plug in the monitor and then pull the power on the monitor to get it to turn on when powered up through the wall outlet. If you plug it in and your monitor was last turned off you'll have to push the button again, and then pull the plug while it's still on to get it to turn on automaticlly once it's plugged into an outlet

[@Jonnicom]

SO what you're saying is, before you do anything, turn the monitor on and then unplug it?

[@TexasHollowEarth]

Thanks for the video + coupon code Ralph. Saved me $15 on a 20" kit with custom bezel art pre-installed. Looking forward to installing this in my 1st and only A1U cab 👍

[@ShinobiShowdown]

Cool. I want a 20 inch monitor on my TMNT modded Arcade1up in the future. This is very helpful!

[@ryanpierce4158]

Your video was very good on showing how to go about mounting the 20" monitor with all the parts. For those that need to know about the electronics part see Cool Toys video. The Cool Toys video didn't show as much of the mounting, so between the two videos you are good to go.

[@VirtualArcades]

This is hardware only. The "kit" does not include an upgrade to the existing 1up 17" monitor. Instead, its a mount kit for any old Dell monitor one can pick up at Goodwill. I think this should be called a monitor mount kit and not a mod.

[@MikeJamesLevy]

It automatically turns on every time there is a signal, that's a standard feature for most monitors. I have this installed on two setups, works great every time I just turn on the setup from the outside. Once the Pi is on, the monitor turns on too.

Ralph...Love this mod..but could Please, Please, PLEASE give me some suggestion on how to hook the monitor up to the stock arcade 1 up wiring? NOBODY has any video on doing that actual cable connections what so ever. I could really use your help or even a video on that part of the mod. Thanks

[@RetroRalph]

It's a lot more complicated and requires you to understand the LVDS pinout's. I have a friend who's currently working on a kit with a 19" monitor for the purposes of upgrading your stock machine. So you would be able to keep the 1up PCB and just do a simple monitor upgrade. I will check in with him and see how far he is into the process.

[@dwayneraimer]

@@RetroRalph thanks Ralph. I'll keep that in mind. I want to do it for the TMNT cab. Thanks a bunch for the monitor install vid.

Jumping into this conversation because I want to do the same. I plan to install a Pandora’s box later so it won’t be an issue at that point but for now I wanna make use of this larger monitor that I already have prepped to go into my currently stock cabinet. What’s the word?

[@briscoemotorsports7885]

I'm looking to do the same! Dose anyone make an adaptor to use a vga ot hdmi and keep the same 1up board yet?

[@montys8237]

looking for the same here, i have an arcade machine already, but i do plan to purchase big buck hunter, its one game not well emulated and of course the shotguns, but just cant imagine playing it on 17 inch. Obviously would have no interest in a mod using a pi, i have a 4 player pedestal with a good pc already, the golden ticket would be to upgrade the actual arcade1up hardware.

[@sunsetcity1111]

I have yet to find a video on how to install the component plug-ins in the back of the dell monitor to whereever it goes. Can u please make a full video of installing every plugin because every single video on youtube regarding this only shows how to install the monitor into the arcade but doesn't show how to hook up the components from the monitor to whereever it goes.

Did placing the dolphin bar beneath the monitor work better for accuracy vs mounting on top of the cabinet?

[@nickgerula]

This was a GREAT video and will be easy to follow. Is it difficult to wire this in or is it a plug n play situation? Also would you need to do further mods if you had upgraded software like raspberry pi?

[@RetroRalph]

It's not difficult but it does not interface with the stock PCB. You do this when you plan to mod the cabinet with a Pi, Pandoras box or Pc. However, there's a newer board by geekworm that does allow you to upgrade your monitor while still using the stock game board (PCB).

It is sad that Arcade1up doesn't come with a 19" or 20" monitor. Would cost them near nothing more. Looks so much better

[@Zehrfox]

Nice video Ralph, you explain everything well. I am looking at putting some Dell 19" Monitors in some A1UPs I have. The only issue I have is this solution seems pretty expensive. I just put one in my cart, and the monitor mount with bezel, plexi and screws was $83? I didn't even look at shipping costs. Considering I provide the monitor this seems a little pricey to me. I guess if you are building a dream cab or building an ultimate cab and just keeping that one, maybe this makes sense.

[@nickwalters6649]

I was thinking the same thing when I started adding all this stuff together on Tulsa arcades. I was thinking 30 or 40 bucks to myself bc I have the monitor already.

This kit looks fine and call me Mr Cynical if u like but if you were planning to do this plus upgrade the control panel and replace the guts for a Pi, jamma, PC setup in an Arcade 1up isn`t it time to seriously consider buying a higher quality Cab panel kit instead of a 1up and then building your own machine ?

Hey Retro Ralph New subscriber long time arcade junkie have a couple questions hoping you can help me????? My Capcom head to head table is my project in mind. I want to have a Pandora’s box in the table but also be able to switch back to the original split screen board easily. Is it possible to have a Pandora’s box and the original arcade1up board in the system at the same time? (powered on at different time) Any advice??

[@RetroRalph]

Man, that's a complicated one. Technically you would need something to split the LVDS signal so it could go to the stock PCB and another video board that would allow you to connect an HDMI device. I don't know of a way to do this currently and both source boards would provide power so having them on at the same time would pose a problem. I wish I had a better answer for you here. If 1up had used HDMI out on their PCB, it would have made this a simple one. Great question and I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Retro Ralph ok 👌🏾 thank you ( I’m in love with your house in the dead cabinet I really hope they make a shooter soon)

[@patrickbateman1759]

Can I ask what the point of the extra layer of plexiglass is? Monitors obviously don't require a layer of glass/plastic in front of them, so is it just for an authentic look?

[@chophap8930]

How are you handling the on/off switch for the monitor? Thank you.

[@chophap8930]

For those worrying about the on/off switch being hidden behind the bezel: I got this same monitor for my upgrade; the monitor will self turn “ON” when power strip is powered on. I also recommend setting the Dell monitor’s Brightness and Color setting to your preference before installing the bezel over the monitor, since the settings button will no longer be easily accessible following Retro Ralph’s method. Again, thanks for making these videos, I thoroughly enjoy them.

On an earlier post, the Dell monitor will auto turn on when it receives power. Before installing the monitor check that theory out by toggling off the power strip and back on to see if it actually does it. I have the 1704 which is virtually the same thing and it auto powers up after turning the power strip back on.

[@chunkylover5367]

I'm a little confused about the ordering process. Assuming I have the same 20" monitor, what boxes do I have to check?

[@SentientPizzaSlice]

I actually just received my order. You are going to want to select the 20" bezel size. For the boxes, you'd want the monitor mount, a single plexiglass sheet (it says monitor, but it's the sheet), which'll be horizontal or vertical depending on your build, and screws for the bezel. If you want a graphic on the bezel, it costs extra, and for them to install the graphic it costs more on top of that. The easiest way to connect it to the pi depends on if your monitor supports HDMI. If it does, HDMI directly between the pi and the screen. Use an hdmi to dvi adapter if the monitor doesn't have an hdmi port. You don't need the lcd control board anymore, HDMI can interface directly with the monitor or though DVI.You are going to have to plug the sound input going into the amp from the control board directly into the pi and then change where the pi outputs sound from in retropi's settings (3.5 mm jack, not hdmi).
