This would probably go over better on BYOAC, but whatever.
I want to put an LCD in my JAMMA cabinet (will be JVS/JAMMA switchable eventually), the idea being I'll mount the monitor on a swivel via its VESA mounts on the back and be able to switch between horizontal and vertical games by simply pulling the glass and bezel off and turning it. What I'm currently looking at is getting an early Dell computer monitor and using a scaler board for JAMMA games (and straight up pass through for JVS). Now, there's a big bad situation about TVs that have a substantial delay between video input and what's actually displayed onscreen, because their scaler chips take their sweet time converting the picture -- it's particularly problematic with rhythm games. Computer monitors are, of course, made with much tighter timing tolerances in mind, as they're intended for inherently interactive applications, but the scaler card is, pardon the pun, a wildcard. In your guys' experience, do the scalers out there lag much? Is there an ideal scaler if I'm really concerned about timing?
