is it a bad thing to put a high res monitor in as a replacement in my moon patrol? will that create any problems? took out old wells garner 19k 4903 with real bad burn and some color issuses,i have a brand new neotech want to put in its place. any advice thanks
 
depends on model if its a tri res it might work, if its med res or high rec(vga) only, it wont sync up.. so take some pics/post the model of the monitor and im sure the fellers here can help ya figure it out..
 
Yeah, if it is genuinely a tri res monitor, and can sync to CGA, it should work. It might even have the picture controls necessary to get Moon Patrol to fill the screen properly. The factory monitor had some minor mods to get the picture stretched enough to completely fill the screen, otherwise you wind up with a slightly too narrow picture, and the graphics don't look right.

Of course, it seems wasteful to put a tri res monitor into a Moon Patrol. Why not just fix the old monitor, or put in another standard res one?

works good

Ok I put it in had to cut and add different plug but not a prob. Looks good ,but was not able to make it take up full screen.got the monitor for free and have a chance to sell this machine tomorrow so no time to get old one repaired ,plus old tube had terrible burn ,so that is where I'm at. Thanks for the input.

I don't think you realize how much a working tri-sync is worth. They're highly sought after because they're universal and most of them have PC inputs. I'd ask for more than the going rate, and point out the tri-sync monitor, if I were you.
 
So how much are you selling the Tri state monitor with the game.. LOL.

Tri state monitor are not cheap even tho you might have gotten it cheap.
