You apparently have an arcade monitor.  I don't think you should judge his results that you have not seen in person.  Take a picture of an arcade monitor and see how great that looks.

If you're on a budget a TV is a great way to go (my first cab had one too) but it's never going to actually look like an arcade monitor (unless you're in Europe with a SCART connector).

I don't need to see it in person, I know what they both look like, I've run both personally. Not the same thing. I'm sure it looks great, and I'm glad he's happy with it, but people who are new to this shouldn't think a TV will look arcade perfect because you use component in. It's not the same thing, they do not look alike. It's a perfectly acceptable solution for a home cab, I just objected to the language since IMHO it's misleading.

I thought you referred to his pictures here:

So you've used a TV.  Did it have component input like the more recent TVs or did it use composite or s-video?  Did you use a quality DVD-I video adaptor?  Did you have mame set-up the way he does?  Its misleading for you to make a blanket statement about his quality unless you have either seen his output in person or have used the same hardware and settings that he has used. 

No doubt its not arcade monitor quality, but he never said it was.

how much of a difference did you notice compared to s-video. ive tested my tv on s-video in the past and i honestly thought it looked great. i might grab one of those up too if it helps build the arcade monitor feel.
