Are there any places to get CRT monitors anymore?
Or any kind of arcade monitors for that matter? The only places I can find are
http://www.arcademonitor.com and Suzo-Happ. Suzo-Happ is only LCD
and that super expensive, huge MakVision monitor. I tried calling MakVision and I only got "Please call Suzo-Happ".
http://www.arcademonitor.com seems to be dead too. Again, calling them only resulted in a voicemail. My text that I sent them got kicked back to me with an error.
Has it come to the point where the only ways to get monitors that support the needed resolutions are on eBay? That in itself seems like a bad idea to me. Combined with the fact that many of them are "local pick-up only", and the chance of getting a broken/tinted/burned in monitor, the risk seems too high. I just got into this hobby about a year ago, and it seems that I won't be able to complete my project with a new-but-old monitor. Please, if anybody knows where to get these, they don't even need
amazing picture qulity, please tell me. I'm also on a budget of about $400 for the monitor, but any way, post where you got yours.
EDIT: I have come across Twisted Quarter, they have 4 monitors that look
appealing to me. Has anybody dealt with them before?
The tri-mode 24.8" flat-screen CRT, which is my favorite of the three, and will probably work the best with my graphics card, which is
NOT ArcadeVGA
http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=200_201&products_id=1630This 27/29 CRT with a flat screen and CGA/EGA/VGA, so I won't fry it when I boot up my computer. BUT DAMN $525, and I'm sure it's worth a lot, but
$525!? This might end up being a $1000+ project!
http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=200_201&products_id=325This 19" LCD, it's small and LCD, but at least it supports the resolutions I need and more. Does anybody have experience with LCD screens? Also, how small are 19" 4:3 monitors? I have an older 18" LCD (not arcade), but it's 16:9 and it is SMALL. But I haven't used a 4:3 screen is a while, so I have no idea what it is like. Would SF2 and other games that were originally on 25" monitors still look alright on it?
