Choose btw these 3 cabinets~ best monitor?
If you have a option to choose between these 3 cabinets, which one would you choose? and please tell me why?
Which of these three has best monitor just by looking at pictures?
Because I happen to have chance to buy one of these 3 cabinets but unfortunately cant see in person only by pictures.
It would be best to see in person for burns and etc of monitors but have no other choice.
I know it is hard to tell the difference just by looking at pictures but I hope you guys have seen more cabinets than me..
My main concern is status of monitor. Burns and color.

NAC have better sound than AC. Having as 2L12B control panel will be better if you want to play 2 player games.
My choice would be the last one (this is making the assumption that the monitors and cabinets are all in the same condition)

I would also choose last one just for cb but what I want to know is which one has best monitor judging only by pictures.

I would go for the AC because they look great and ask the owner to swap the control panel from the 2x6 button NAC..

Can you get three more photos from the seller with the monitors off?

Hard to tell from those pics but at least the first 2 show the geometry is OK.
1st cab looks the best condition to me.

Re: Choose btw these 3 cabinets~ best monitor?
I'd go for #2 off those pictures. #1 has what looks like a hole in the top illumination panel, and looks like it has a lot of wear on it from the full res pic. The control panel on #3 looks like the laminate is lifting, so it's almost certainly got a lot of rust on it. Saying that the control panels are one of the easiest parts to replace. Ideally get a picture of all 3 monitors with a white screen displayed, that way you can see the burn. Try and get a photo of the monitor chassis as well, make sure they're Nanao monitors. On the Astro line the monitor is the most expensive part to replace.

Re: Choose btw these 3 cabinets~ best monitor?
Those pictures are not good enough to make a decision.
You need at least 3 pictures of each screen.
1) Colour bars - will show if colours are OK and if intensity is same.
2) Cross hatch - will show if geometry and convergence is OK.
3) White background - will show up burn-in.
4) Off - if you can see burn-in when screen is off, then it's bad.
Need to know monitor & chassis - Toshiba/Nanao are the ones you want.

Re: Choose btw these 3 cabinets~ best monitor?
Thanks for all helpful advice.
I am planning to pay a visit to seller soon. I finalize my thought that making a decision based on those 3 pictures could give me poor result.
Once I visit this seller, I will look for best cabinet as possible based on advice that you guys gave me.
Thank you guys~
