Well... I've owned a 720 for 10 years or so, and the original monitor I was never able to fix after sinking around 100 bucks into capacitors, flyback, vertical and horizontal deflection transistors, and even a custom video IC... Several years back I threw the 25k5515 away... at the time I was pissed because I couldn't fix it, and it looked like it had some burn in as well...
I can still play the game because I've wired it to a PC VGA adapter, and I currently own 2 monitors that can sync the signal.... I'm sure its not hard to find a computer monitor that will do this because the 2 that I have were just random... Problem is, the one that works the best is only a 17" off brand old school CRT monitor (yuk.. too small)...
My HP w2207 LCD wide screen will sync with it as well, but lacks the capability to hold the correct aspect ratio (it uses the full wide screen... ugh)... the colors on this monitor don't match that great either... the yellow seems very dominant...
Any ideas for a good replacement? I don't need arcade perfection, a good computer LCD will do fine... obviously it will need to be a widescreen as large 4:3 LCD's stop at around 21".... maybe I should try an old 25" TV? any ideas on how best to proceed?
