So I am finishing up my conversion mario bros "restore" and plan to run the arcadesd board in it. Since that board has a VGA option, and because I've had trouble tracking down a good arcade monitor AND because I already have quite a few PC CRT monitors I've hoarded from CL, I think I am going to use a PC monitor. My question is, would it be worth it to use a scanline generator like the SLG3000 to add some extra authenticity? I've only seen videos of it being used on LCDs, but is there any reason it wouldn't also work well with a CRT PC monitor? It wouldn't damage the monitor would it?

It seems like a nifty little device and the price isn't terrible, but I don't want to buy it if it will be useless to me. here's a link for the device in case anyone isn't familiar with it.

you did not look very hard;)

if you need a monitor i have lots of them.

what are you looking for a K7000, 4900 or a sanyo.

Mario Bros would be a Sanyo EZ-20.

If you use anything else I believe you will need a color inverter... as there is one on the Sanyo.

Make sure you have the 100v iso...

hey Mike I just saw your signature-step off of my up n down bro-I get the next one in california
 
Thanks for the clarification bencao. Again, since I'll be running the arcadesd and not an original board, I thought I'd economize with something almost as good that I already have lying around.

Buffett, I'm the dude you were talking to earlier this week about monitors. I'm still down to see what you have next weekend if you are around. I'll still need one for my other jamma cabinet I am working on.
