Every LCD and plasma under the sun has some degree of display lag and that doesn't play nice with the fact that emulation comes with a tiny bit of input lag to begin with. Plus any big LCD or plasma will be the wrong aspect ratio for everything.

That's some good advice, start with the right monitor first. I did some reading about those tri-syncs , sounds like you want a digital one so that it remebers your settings for each game? And something about doubling the Hz for certain games...  "runs in the 31kHz mode, but you can run 15kHz games at exactly 2X scaled resolutions, and they look otherwise pixel perfect ".

The only one I see on craigs is this Wells Gardner D9200 27" Tri-Sync CGA/VGA for $275

A good working D9200 for $275 is a good deal. To compare, I charge about $150 for a good working 19" recapped monitor (without a trade in).
