what aspect ratio & resolution is generaly used for backglass monitors

[joyrider3774]

Just a simple question .. what aspect ratio & resolution is generaly used for backglass monitors  4:3, 16:9, .. ?  1600x1200,  1920x1080 , ...

I know it can be almost anything but just wondering as the zaccaria pinball backglasses seem 4:3 (it adds black borders) but i'm not certain.

I currently modified a recording script for zaccaria pinball to take screenshots of the backglasses at 1600x1200 (4:3) since i think my cab will have a 4:3 monitor but it could look funcky on a 16:9 aspect ratio (like stretched). The reason i'm taking screenshots is to have something to start with and a lot of the backglasses on zaccaria are static anyway in attract mode.

I could redo another set at 1920x1080 16:9 aspect ratio and share afterwards on ftp

It could give us something to see on the backglass monitor when viewing zaccaria pinball tables. or pehaps since i take them on a higher resolution some of the screenshots could be used when creating wheel images.

i'm actually taking the screenshots on a virtual monitor which is detected as a real monitor on my main windows pc while not actually having a physical monitor attached. I'm basically using spacedesk for this and and using a windows tablet as client. But since it's virtual i can choose higher resolutions that what the tablet's screen actually is capable off.

i attached a few samples of the screenshot the script took  (do note images are smaller in forum here than what i got they are actually 1600x1200)

I have a 16:9 (1920×1080) 28" monitor as a backglass.

Got arround 450 tables in vpx and all of them with this resolution

Even zen pinball fx3 looks nice

A 4:3 monitor is also hard to find, but would fit better in the backbox I asume. But I could not find a good one
