Screen tearing in arcade displays can ruin the gaming experience by creating visual artifacts. Fortunately, there are several effective methods to prevent it.

1. VSync (Vertical Synchronization): This technology syncs the display's refresh rate with the game's frame rate, eliminating tearing but potentially causing input lag.

2. G-Sync (NVIDIA): A premium solution that dynamically adjusts the monitor's refresh rate to match the GPU's output, reducing tearing and stuttering.

3. FreeSync (AMD): Similar to G-Sync but designed for AMD graphics cards, offering smoother gameplay without screen tearing.

4. Higher Refresh Rate Monitors: Displays with 120Hz or 144Hz refresh rates can minimize tearing by rendering frames more quickly.

5. Frame Rate Limiting: Capping the game's FPS slightly below the monitor's refresh rate can help avoid tearing without additional hardware.

By implementing these methods, arcade operators and gamers can enjoy seamless, tear-free visuals for an immersive experience.
