Title: Do I need the Arcade VGA card if...
Post by: javeryh on July 18, 2005, 01:54:04 pm: ... I'm putting the 19" SVGA Horizontal Mount Monitor from Happs in my cocktail cabinet (http://www.happcontrols.com/monitors/491337vp.htm)? I don't think so but I want to be sure. Thanks!

You got it man.

I have had several different VGA res arcade monitors, they hook up just like a computer monitor.

When selecting your monitor in windows select 640x480@60hz

Post by: Vegeta on July 27, 2005, 10:04:36 pm: Does a normal TV (15 kHz - PAL Spec with RGB SCART and NTSC support) handle all the resolutions that a arcade monitor would support like a Betson or Wells-Gardner?
