Video adapters LCD/CRT - PC/PCB - CGA=VGA
« on: September 27, 2011, 02:10:59 pm »
I am tired of dealing with CRT gremlins! >:D

My Cruis'n World arcade has a CRT & its days are numbered so I am considering my options. Happ sells video converter boards for $100 http://na.suzohapp.com/monitors/96316100.htm that I could pair with a monitor from regular life places like Walmart/ebay & they (HAPP) sell converted open case LCD's for like $750+ after applicable bracket/bezel/shipping OUCH http://na.suzohapp.com/monitors/49286100.htm

I remember seeing converter cards elsewhere (not the UVC) that took the signal from a game PCB & converted that RGB/HVS old school cable & converted it into a VGA signal for like $50 somewhere.

Does anyone know of other converter board options/suppliers?

Any info would be appreciated, thanks guys!

You know what?

I just remembered where I saw those cheap converters...

For anyone finding this thread in search of the same thing = eBay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CGA-EGA-YUV-VGA-arcade-video-converter-US-Seller-/320751478085?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aae472545

$31 shipped is hard to beat, pair that with a $200 walmart 26' LCD = awesome
