Jack Burton:
I would assume there is no scaling going on at all.  The TV is likely a very early generation HDTV.  These TV's are now known as EDTV's, or Enhanced Definition TV's.  It will display the 31.5 khz signal as it is intended to be seen.

31.5 khz is also another term for 480p, or is sometimes known as Progressive Scan.

well i just managed to pick up that tv for $40.....pretty happy about that. I'll be interested to see how it's going to run.
Jack Burton:
Even if you don't use it for arcade gaming it will surely be a nice TV to hook a computer up to and use as a multimedia center. 

480p video on a properly calibrated CRT can look NICE.
mahalos:
One last question (hopefully). Is it ok to use a DVI to VGA adaptor as i've only got cards with DVI out? I've never used a TV for a cab before, only arcade and PC monitors, and have certainly never used one of the adaptors before.
Jack Burton:
Yes, most DVI ports include the pins for VGA.
