Should I toss my 26'' Arcade monitor?

[Jetto Funk]

And just get a videocard that runs to a TV and use my 26''  instead?
I dunno why but my arcade monitor won't turn on but thats a differnt topic (look below), my arcade monitor plays some games at weird, small, off balance sizes, such as galaga, pacman and raiden. Should I just toss my monitor and go for a TV screen?

The output is so much better... and they are pretty easy to fix some things...

You might call a tv repair place if you don't feel up to the job.

but that it doesn't turn on doesn't mean much.  It could just be a loose wire somewhere.

I say keep it myself...  Worth 50 bucks to get someone to fix it if all else fails...  But have you checked that the power is getting to the back?

Actually I havn't, don't have a multimeter right now.
I've visually inspected it from what I can see and it all looks good, I don't feel like taking it out of the cab just yet, hoping that there may be some hope somewhere even though it looks pretty hopeless right now
How often do these things crap out?

With a 100% power...  Not often...

but since you wheren't around... who knows whats wrong...

I just got a Toshiba 27" TV SVid that would be GREAT in a cab...(wife won't let me... damn kids and their..."MOOVIESSS"... anyway it was 200 bucks at BestBuy....  I thought it was a great deal myself.

So it will PROBABLY cost about 65 bucks to have it fixed taking it somewhere.  So basically double that you have a new TV....  But you could spend 65 to say that it's dead for good.

is it worth it??
