The Monitor FAQ
RayB:
Menace, it's usually the other way around...
Over-simplifying:
110v power from wall comes in to cab, then splits so one set of wires carries 110v to the "silver box" power supply, while the other set goes to the isolation transformer. Then the power goes from that to the monitor.

It would be cool if there was a post or guide in this thread on how to wire a monitor to an avga card. :applaud:
daywane:
I agree with above.

Anyone use a flat panel LCD monitor for a MAME cabinet? Not sure if it would look better or worse than a normal monitor.

A MAME noob chiming in attempting to begin construction on a 2-player joystik/button cabinet. What are the common sizes for arcade monitors? I'll be using a CRT TV but I'm having a hard time finding a decent one to purchase for cheap. Obviously it needs to have s-video, but what size is common? 24"? 27"? Like I said, I'm looking to mostly play fighters and side scrolling shooters.
