(Your existing bezel may or may not have a wide enough opening for the slightly-wider image.) (The model didn't exist before late 2019.) To keep the same 17" viewable area, it's slightly wider and slightly shorter.

It seems they have commissioned a custom LCD from BOE, using a true 4:3 resolution - 1280x960. Since A1Up has sold over a million units, they can now be more picky. These were likely chosen because it was a really common size and resolution a few years ago, and is pretty darn close to 4:3. The early Arcade1Up 17" LCDs are a "close cousin" of 4:3 - 5:4 at 1280x1024 resolution. Here's the response I gave to their inquiry: Someone else asked almost the same question earlier today. (I'm not sure if this means they were designed early on and released much later, or if they are using up the remaining 5:4 LCDs in a lower-cost product.) Wallcades (Gen4?) use a different brand of CPU than all previous models, use the ~12pin cable to the control panel, but (so far) use the older Gen1/2-style 1280x1024 LCDs. Gen3 = A40i AllWinner SoC, 17" 1280x960 (4:3) LCD, ~12-pin cable to control panel Gen2 = H30 AllWinner SoC, 17" 1280x1024 (5:4) LCD, 40-pin cable to control panel(Countercades are Gen2, but use a 8" 1024x768 LCD.) Gen1 = A13 AllWinner SoC, 17" 1280x1024 (5:4) LCD, 40-pin cable to control panel "Generation" generally refers to the electronic components that make up the cabinets, regardless of when they were released. "Wave" doesn't necessarily correspond to the hardware inside. Final Fight was released later, and is considered a different wave. "Wave" is generally used in the context of batches of games released at the same time - Street Fighter 2, Galaga, Pacman, etc were "Wave 1". I use the term " Generation x", rather than " Wave x".
