Should work good....
« on: November 20, 2002, 07:06:25 pm »
I just won this auction on eBay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3696&item=2071722105

Looks like it will work good for an arcade. Won it for 10.50 but have to pay 75.00 shipping. Still might be a good deal for 85.00.

 Any thoughts. I'll update when it gets here. I know some don't like PC monitors however I originally went with a Scan Converter and Composite on my first Cab and hated it. It's an X-Box Arcade now and I'm building a second Mame dedicated Cab.

Looks pretty good.  Not sure how you go from VGA to single BNC though.  I paid $80 for my 27" EYGO and couldn't have been happier.  Sometimes it doesnt have to cost alot to be a good thing!

Since this monitor is based on the KDS VS 21 I assume the listing means either a single HD15 VGA cable or BNC (BNC 4 Composite Sync) if my research is correct.

It looks (on the outside) just like my 21"er that I used... and it uses a standard VGA cable (it also has the individual bnc connectors as well, but I don't use those =P )

Looks good, the dot pitch is a little big for a PC monitor but for arcade gameing that won't matter. I'd buy one for $80.

The only thing I'd be concerned about is burn in, ATM's never go off and I've never seen one with a screen saver. I've also  never seen an ATM with this big :o of a big screen.
My statements are my own opinions. They have the value that the reader gives them. My opinion of my opinion varies between foolish and brilliant and these opinions often change with new information.

Came today, no burn in because it was brand new and factory sealed.  :) It says 21" Kiosk monitor on it. I love this thing, wish he would sell more but since the bidding only went up to 10.50 he probably won't. Still a great deal and Rampy it is EXACTLY like yours as far as I can tell from the pics you put up.

 Picking up the cabinet on Sunday, just need to order a few more items before this Mame Arcade can all go together.
