Television Question
ngranttx:
Unfortunately, the ppt link in the first post is dead :(
We are going to replace the U2000 in my die hard cabinet with a standard TV we have laying around. But will have to take it out of the case to fit it into the cabinet. Anyone by chance have a copy of that ppt?

Do a Google search for "monitor discharge" there are many different examples of pretty much the same thing.
How are you going to interface the game to the TV?

Thanks! I did a google search and then started looking around on youtube. Youtube, the new college... Found a video, really very useful. If anyone is interested the link is
The TV has RCA in and my NVidia card has RCA out. We have already connected it to the TV to test. The front end looks ok and games look good (fired up a few and they looks nice.) IMPOSSIBLE to read anything when in Ubuntu. Might try connecting a monitor to it as well so I try to make some changes. If anyone have any ideas on this I'm always open to suggestions. (probably not the place to be asking this.)
Tonight, discharging and mounting TV in the arcade monitor brackets. Going to use some of the TV hacks listed in the wiki :D

Very helpful video!
I have a question regarding a TV i removed from it's case for size reasons...there is a loop of metal cable in the shape of a square 8 that went around the perimeter of the screen in the back, and then around the circuit board area as well. What is this cable? It is about 1/4" thick, and is connected to the circuit board/TV somehow as well...is this some sort of ground plane?

This is most likely the degaussing system.. Some monitors has a degauss button that de-magnitize the tube, so the electrons flows correctly. Other monitors degauss them selfes automaticly when they power up (some need to be turned off completely for a longer period before they do it)
You need to leave the cable around the monitor in your new setup, so you don't get any strange colour-faults e.g. because of un-shielded speakers
