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 :cheers: |

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. |
