is this a good monitor?

[Punisher]

I am looking at a 21 inc IBM monitor p260 would this be a good monitor to use in my arcade cabinet?

At a glance
The new P260 color monitors incorporate the latest FD Trinitron CRT technology for professional quality images on the flattest possible screens. This is enhanced by a very fine aperture grille pitch, together with a high contrast CRT.
Features:

FD Trinitron CRTs for bright, sharp, accurate images on a virtually flat screen
High contrast CRTs with 1/4-wave anti-reflective coating for high definition images
Two video inputs with selection by a front mounted switch
Display Data Channel (DDC) 1/2B for error-free setup (PC system hardware and software dependent)
Lockable digital controls with On Screen Display navigation in a choice of nine languages
85 Hz flicker-free images at up to 1600 x 1200 addressability (PC system hardware and software dependent)
ISO 9241, Part 3 capability for improved image quality (PC system hardware and software dependent)
ENERGY STAR and NUTEK compliant for low power consumption (PC system hardware and software dependent)
TCO-99 for the latest environmental requirements (pearl white models)
TCO-95 environmental label (Business Black models)
Twin video inputs allow the P260 color monitors to be connected to two computer systems at once using a convenient switch on the front bezel
The P260 color monitors have a 21-inch FD Trinitron CRT with a 19.8-inch (503-mm) viewable image size, and a 0.24-mm aperture grille pitch. A maximum horizontal frequency of 121 kHz delivers an optimum 1600 x 1200 pels at 85 Hz and higher refresh rates such as 1920 x 1440 pels at up to 75 Hz refresh rate.
The P260 color monitors are capable of ENERGY STAR and NUTEK power management via DPMS; monitor Plug and Play via DDC; ISO 9241-3 image quality, and refitted with a universal voltage power supply for worldwide operation.
Attachment to certain PC and workstation systems may require the use of a signal cable adapter.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be unless there's somthing phisically wrong with it.

Sounds like a winner. 

It might even have digital convergence, in which case it is bigtime 

[Punisher]

Thanks for the feedback.  I just went and picked it up for $15 off Craigslist.  I plugged it in and everything works and looks great.

Ahem. With respect to mame, all those features are irrelevant. I recommend reading the monitor wiki, as well as how mame works in stock vs native modes, to get an idea of what isn't.

[Jack Burton]

Ummon is right in that regard.  This is not an arcade monitor.  But for $15, I think it is a fine choice as a display device for a cabinet.

It will not be able to do most games in their native resolutions. 

However, it will be very good for new arcade games that run in high resolutions.  So if you ever wanted to play any of the new fighting games or shooters you will have a good option.

To take proper advantage of this monitor for old games it may be better for you to actually run in the highest possible resolution and apply effects from there.

OR you may be able to run games in 31khz/120hz modes, which will also look nice.
