Check it.

Looks good, can you give some more information about the LCD, do you run at a fixed res for all games, what kind of ranges do you have for vertical refresh, any centering issues?

Looks fantastic.
Are you still using the Powerstrip + GroovyMAME combination?
EDIT: Ah I see, you'd mentioned it on the very subject :)
The use of Powerstrip with GroovyMAME allows tweaking the desktop resolution to any desired refresh. This is the best approach for LCD screens, where switching resolutions doesn't make much sense. So all the needed scaling is performed by us on the software side, instead of relying on the panel's scaling that's out of our control.
The advantage of this industrial arcade LCD screens seems to be that they can reproduce custom refresh rates smoothly, unlike most modern PC LCD monitors.

Are there any known PC lcd's that can resync like that?
Sound very interesting

I heard the amiga users are finding 15khz success with older NEC multi-sync's and the like. My understanding they do variable vert refresh rates as well.
I haven't taken the plunge, so YMMV.....

bent98 got the 19" Vision Pro LCD. I ordered this same monitor (318) and got it in a couple days ago and the picture in gorgeous, but a couple things I noticed where that it seems to wash out at extreme angles, not horrible, and no color distortion, but its there. I not sure if I can get a better monitor with these angles but just to be sure I ordered the Dell 2007fp (118.00) . I plan on doing a side by side comparison and then pick a winner and sell the other one. I have no doubt that the Vision Pro would look good in an upright but I am not so sure it the best in a cocktail table. Vision Pro has a 160 viewing angle and the dell 178. The other thing is I guess the Dell is a 4:3 and the Vision is 5:4 (correct me if I am wrong). This monitor runs mk at 54 or is it 53 without a problem. I checked the monitor menu and mame F11 100%. Any questions or if you guys want pics of the monitor .. Just ask.
Calamity - do you know the optimal settings for mame.ini? Also its says 1024x768 is the native res but I can set it to 1280x1024 and it looks better than 1024x768.
