Love my 27" TV in my cabinet.   Arcade games are not suppose to be crystal lcear anyway, so in my opinion (if you not getting an actual arcade monitor), then a TV is better than computer monitor.  Plus you can still watch TV on it as well..... just connect your cable from your wall to it and your ready

Another benefit of a TV is the emulation or direct connection of consoles (which were made to run on TVs).

For my computer at home I just put in a Radeon 9200SE from CompUSA.

Veinman:

I've read that Radeons tend to have better TV-OUT than GeForces. Any experienced opinions in that regard?

I have personally witnessed S-Video out from my Radeon 9800PRO256, and it looked great.

I have also heard that some Midway games (MK, Rampage, etc) can cut off part of the image when viewed on a TV. I am not sure about that one.

What if you have onboard video .... i.e. no video card slot and therefore only a standard monitor out?  Are there any decent adaptors to convert from a standard monitor port to TV?

Thanks in Advance,
