I would like an improved Monitor in my Pole Position cab. it has the originalI G07 installed but my understanding is that some PP machines were shipped with a Matsushita. I began researching the possibility of acquiring a decent 19 inch G07 ( or equivalent ) with minimal burn. Mostly what I see on posts where someone asks for something similar are 'Here we go again' or posting of the 'Merry go round' meme. Nether is very helpful. I know the basic parts (chassis, tube, etc) but I don't know what is repairable, what is rare, or what is extinct. I don't know when I've asked a question that deserves a meme for a response. I know how to keep my game going (pcb, power supply, etc), but with a working monitor I have not been forced to learn much about monitors, so realistically I'll either need a complete replacement I can install myself or to take my monitor to someone else for repair.
So what are my options if I want to stay with a CRT?
Are replacement monitors even available? How much would it cost to get a hoarder to let go of one?
My two issues are 1) the screen seems 'washed out'. Very little contrast. 2) pretty significant burn-in.
Are there shops (or anyone here) that can repair/refresh my current monitor?
What is repairable and what isn't?
Any advice is welcomed and appreciated!
