RGB Mod TV - Jumping off point
nipsmg:
Reach out if you need help. That thread over there is hit or miss with people helping. Sometimes its great, sometimes radio silence.
Arroyo:
Just something to note (as Nipsmg can attest), those Sony’s are great for console games but not so great as arcade monitors. That chassis and a few others from Sony from that time period do not like to go much below 60hz, and therefore there are a number of games that if you try to play in their native refresh rate will give you a wobbly or un-viewable picture.

I want mine for mostly arcade stuff, would i better go to find an arcade monitor? as 15khz would be a pian in the ass to achieve?

Arcade monitors are certainly ideal for their flexibility in refresh rates and easy analog potentiometer screen adjustments (geometry, size, etc). Having said that, there are certainly plenty of other TV's that have a flexible chassis, however most if not all will require you to go into the settings of the OSD to make adjustments to the picture (a bit more of a pain).
Not sure what you mean by 15khz will be a pain in the ass to achieve?

Arcade games, (even if you use emudrivers with groovymame or groovyarcade) run at 15khz, so, ive seen this tv hacks are mostly for consoles or pcs without the 15khz mode (aka,emufrivers or groovyarcade), so if my pc uses emudrivers to achieve the 15khz (which is ok for aracdemonitors) will i have a problem on the tvs monitors hacked? hope i explained myself on this one.
