Read some lcd's put in some driver games lately so i thought i'd show my solution. After constant problems with my neotec chassis and spending over $300 trying to solve them, i finally gave up and decided to go the route some others have gone with lcd monitors. For myself personally i wanted a monitor with the glass look offered by some led monitors instead of the lcd. I decided on this 25" led monitor from newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176194&Tpk=hp 2511x
At $199 plus free shipping and no tax, it was about $45 cheaper than my local microcenter. I chose this monitor because it fits perfect corner to corner on the sides of the bezel, and has a glass look to it. I also bought a vga y splitter on ebay for around $3 I had read in another post that you needed to cut wires and make your own cable etc, no you don't actually. FLipped the dip switch on the jamma board for vga resolution, plugged in the y adapter to the video card and ran the second cable to the monitor. That's it. No more neotec monitor problems and a stunning picture. The pics honestly look better than even my phone can produce. The first one is with the flash on just to show you how perfect side to side the monitor fits. I'm going to make a bezel but honestly my arcade is dark and it really is not necessary in my setup if i didn't want to. That's it! $203 and done!
