Makvision 27" Tri-Mode CRT
alpine944:
I'm setting up a Mame (only) cabinet and was able to acquire a Makvision 27" Tri-Mode CRT. Does anyone here have any experience with setting one of these up to their computer? I've been reading the forums and it seems like there are multiple ways do to this, but was hoping to get some insight from someone who is using this type of monitor. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you want to do it on a Win 7 or Win 10 PC, see this guide:

That guide does not specifically cover tri-sync CRT's, but it's a good jumping off point. Your tri-sync CRT's lower range will be 15kHz, which covers the bulk of MAME games up to the late 90's.
If you're on Linux there are other options.

Right, I am aware that the max res. is 640x480. For Mame only, that shouldn't be an issue though should it..
