Using a LCD tv instead of a monitor

Not without a way to convert the signal from the game to the LCD.
 
sure, just have to buy a signal conveter.

lol the real trouble would be to convince yourself that it looks better than it would with a crt instead.
 
Mount some smoked plexi over it..that would probably help.
 
I think an LCD could be cool... I don't want to put one in a normal cabinet though... Building a little bar top would be the way to go. Who doesn't want one of these?

I bought one of the "CGA" LCD monitors on Ebay about 6 months ago. The only thing different from buying a $139 19" monitor from Ecost.com or Buy.com is that it came with a frame mount and a POS CGA to VGA adapter. The monitor circuit is VGA so it needed a (probably much less than $50) adapter. Save your money. Buy a cheap refurbed LCD monitor and one of the $50 CGA to VGA adapters floating around (Yanton on EBay has one that seems to work). Once it is behind the bezel nobody will know the difference between the $399 one and a $139 one + a $50 converter.

My $0.02 worth.
