Title: Anyone have experience with a Sony PVM-14N6A?
Post by: Paradroid on March 15, 2012, 07:43:44 am

Just won a Sony PVM-14N6A for $0.99 on eBay. Planning to collect from the seller tomorrow. Thought I'd give this a go after seeing some of the great images produced by Sony Trinitron TVs and also reading about some people's preference for smaller screens (all other TVs are 26 inches plus).

Just wondering if anyone has used this particular model with MAME before. I'm going to need to work out how to wire up a VGA to RGB breakout cable for use with this monitor so any advice, tips or tricks would be most welcome.

Cheers!
