They sell replacement monitors for that arcade here: http://promorx.com/poet.html  >:D

Ok, that wasnt nice..........sorry.

Anyway man a little salty talk between us is good so no apologies.......& I still dunno wtf this "genesim" thing means so post a wiki about it or be all old school & just type up an addendum for your encyclopedia britannica (ok, that was my last cheap shot I promise).

Truce.................for now :angel:

genesim is a former member here and you aren't anywhere near as opinionated as he was, no matter what I said before.

FWIW I have a 32" Vizio that has all the inputs I will ever need (coax, composite, s video, component, d sub, and HDMI). I could hook up any system I own to it. I researched all the tv's in my price range and specifically bought the one I did based on the inputs and reviews. They're out there if you look for them.

But I really doubt I would ever hook up my 2600 to it rather than just emulate what I want to play. It's not worth the space or dealing with the old harware. Not to mention if your paddles still work well.  :dunno

The game room is a shambles and there are no immediate plans for renovation (RealLife(tm) stepped in and consumed the budget), so it isn't picture-worthy right now.

But, to show you how old school I have become, here is a picture of a game that I brought home today (thanks RayB -- she plays great!)... and for which replacement monitors have not been made for a LOOOOONG time.

I've had several people ask me to fix their LCDs that had perfectly working backlights.  The power supplies crap out and so do the controller boards - just like any other mass produced complex electronic device.  The power supplies are usually replaceable but the damn SMD controllers are pretty much death sentences if anything on it dies.

The only thing i have had to replace is the invertor. People normaly say that the backlight is gone when in actual fact it's the invertor.
