| Updating cab: excellent time for a new monitor? |
| (1/1) |
| Dcpmark:
Currently I've got a Hitachi CM-2112 MU 21" monitor in my 24" cab that I built in the late '90s. Here are the specs: CRT Trio Pitch: 0.26 mm (Dot) CRT Size: 21 Inch (20 Inch Viewable), FST CRT Surface Treatment: Anti-Reflective/Anti-Static coating Input Signals: Video: analog 0.7 vp-p 75 ohm Sync: H, V separate TTL. H, V composite TTL Sync on green. Automatic sync mode detection. Horizontal Sync: 31-107 kHz Vertical Sync: 50-160 Hz Video Bandwidth: 220 MHz Viewable Dimensions: 395mm (Horizontal) x 295mm (Vertical) Additional Features: Advanced EA-DF electron gun, On-screen display and DDC Plug and Play support I am currently running 640 x 480 @ 60hz, although I'm not certain because I think I've seen the monitor display "31/60" and "38/60" at the bottom when the resolution changes from time to time. I'm fairly happy with this flat screen monitor, but I realized that I could fit a larger CRT without a problem. So, assuming I can fit a 25" monitor in my cab: 1) can I expect much better performance from a different monitor? 2) which monitors do you guys recommend? I've seen these two that are currently available: http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=200_201&products_id=127 http://www.ebay.com/itm/200882116694?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 3) if I upgrade to an arcade monitors from my plug n play monitor, what else will I need to do to make these arcade monitors work in my cab? New video cards, adapters, move to Groovymame or Cabmame, etc? Thanks in advance! |
