Vector mame

JustMichael:

I personally love vector games on a pc monitor set at a minimum resolution of 1024x768.  The only real difference is no super bright pixels (like the shots in Asteroids).  I can also adjust the line width and brightness to match the each game as I remember them.

ChadTower:

I have never seen a CRT monitor that could come close to matching a fully working, top condition color vector monitor.  Not even one that was marginally close.

RayB:

A word of caution to any one using vector monitors:

They burn-in VERY fast. In Star Wars for example, there is a diagnostic mode where you can view the game graphics in slow step by step. It is not recommended that you ever leave the screen on one image (especially the bright death star explosion). Burn-in happens extremely quickly.

I know this through hear-say.  ;D

ChadTower:

I'll take that into consideration.  Not really reason to refrain from using the appropriate monitor for a vecmame cabinet, though.   ;)

True that's why they have a "spot killer" circut in the monitors.
