Lane master monitor

Joe260 · May 11, 2026

Hello everybody, I’m trying to see if anyone knows the trick to get a TV or store monitor to work in the lane master game. I know people have done it. I’ve seen it but I’m trying to figure out what’s the trick to it. I bought a 32 inch monitor for the top monitor and when I reinstall the software it displays the wrong screen and I’ve been battling with this issue for years. They want about $1000 for a replacement 32 inch monitor.

Thank you for your help. If you have any questions, let me know.

You likely need to use an EDID emulator to make the new monitor pretend to be the old one. You can try the cheapo ones like this first: https://www.amazon.com/THWT-HDMI-EDID-Emulator-Model/dp/B0CRRWQ7XS

If not, look for a used Gefen HDMI Detective on Ebay. It's a pro-grade device you can often find secondhand for cheap.

Have you done this before? Cause I was able to get a really old Dell monitor to show the right image but it’s too small. I know it has something to do with aspect ratio or resolution. Would either of these items be able to mimic that or maybe I’m wrong and I’m on the wrong track.

I have not personally done this before (I don't even own anything new enough to use an LCD lol) but I have friends who work in amusement who have done this with similar games. Many games particularly in the redemption world are only setup to work with the OEM monitor, and if you give it something else then it'll error or display in a box in the corner, and using an EDID emulator is a way I've been told they solve this.

Well thank you i ordered a few different ones. Also an old co worker sent me instructions on how he did it. I will test both ways and share results here!
