The classic games look like poo on LCD's and PC"S, even with scanlines there off unless im seeing different. Classics should either be played on TV for scanlines or arcade monitor if you have a cab. IMO any other opinions |

Component is on a similar quality level to RGB, if you can get it to work that is. --- Quote ---i have a 19" CRT pc monitor in my DK mame cabinet and it looks great. --- End quote --- I think classic arcade games look like crap on PC monitors, but it is a different kind of crap than say, a TV through composite, but not better crap. The problem with PC CRT monitors is not due to the lack of a high quality signal, because they use RGB which is as good as it gets. The problem comes from the display being optimized for high resolutions and reading tiny text; it makes those old crude graphics look like Lego blocks. Also, they are not typically capable of 15 KHz, so the only way to get the low resolution classic arcade games to fill the screen is through either unfiltered pixel duplication (which enhances the Lego effect) or through pasty filtered stretching; neither of which look particularly good. |

I'd be pretty shocked if anyone can find a 19" CRT in North America with component. I think that's why people are knocking composite. Cause they don't think he'll possibly find a component 19" CRT. |

ya s-video is about as good as it's gonna get on a 19inch tv. although im far from a expert here i've never personally seen a 19inch tv with componet hookups.. composite sucks like veryone else is saying.. although i'd have to take a composite tv oer a vga monitor. s-video is a setup from composite and is widely considered "acceptable" or i guess you'd say "best effort" hookup for tv's.. those spoiled euro's have scart but we dont in the states. component is your best option on tv's but like people have said finding a 19 inch with component will be harder then just buying a 19inch arcade monitor. |
