There is a local guy that has ~25 PVM-2950Q, he said they have VGA input through BNC, will these even work well for an arcade?
I was going to bring my laptop, test them and get a few. Whats the best/easiest/fastest way to check them? I was thinking just a NTSC test pattern. Thanks.

have you ever noticed how their are 6 wires coming off of jamma monitors and boards?

R, G, B, 2 sync pins, and Ground?

your line 3 set of connections on this monitor are for seperate y g b sync connections.

sounds to me like you need to order a bnc breakout cable from Cables to go or digikey.

and yes i believe you could use this with an ArcadeVGA provided you had the arcade VGA breakout as well as the BNC breakout. simply a matter of matching up the colors i believe.

Andy?

as far as testing the thing, just bring your supergun with you.

oh yeah, forgot this. You need to hook up the bnc breakout to your supergun's video.
