advmame revisited
Silver:
If you are lucky enough to be running advmame from dos/linux with a compatible gfx card on an arcade monitor, then you pretty much have a display "as good as it gets" - as in most authentic.
I have no idea about effects, I assume they would unnecessary on an arcade monitor. hscan2 etc.. sounds like stuff for PC monitors to simulate the look of an arcade monitor - not needed if you have the real deal.
If you are using windows version of advancemame - how are you using it? SDL libary or the "SVGAwin" library. If the SDL library, then there is no point - may as well use MAME / SDLMAME.
If SVGAwin library (and its working) then I assume you have a geforce or whatever that actually works, as I have never ever got windows advancemame working - it is HIGHLY incompatible with most gfx cards.

The only sdl thing I see in the folder is a dll. Alternately, there's a system file and a exe for svgawin (I keep thinking Gawain when I see that). Does that answer that question?
DOS doesn't seem to work on my computer. (This may sound weird; but I asked my dad, who's a programmer from the old days, to help me and we couldn't get anything to 'run'.) As for Linux, I haven't had a fresh computer to explore that with. Perhaps you Linux users would be gracious enough to post some pics of your monitors, if you think they would be telling?

Well, I'm waiting on a new computer, so I've just been fussing around with the integrated Intel graphics. What do you mean exactly by 'not getting it working'?
