I was speaking of if today's color LCD quality was available back then. Would Atari have used them in cabinets over CRT's?
Ah.
I'm not so sure. LCDs are more readily available and if not abused are more reliable. However, its the abused part... how many video games have we seen with cigarette burns all over the consoles? I suspect that LCDs would get fairly heavily abused in bars. I don't recall seeing any current videogames that use LCDs instead of CRTs, do you?
Pretty much any of the video-poker style games being made today are using LCDs. Now I'm starting to see MAME cabinets on eBay with LCDs instead of CRT's.
