Title: More Confused after Viewing Threads
Post by: jopenner on November 03, 2005, 12:56:45 pm
Okay, I am experiencing information overlaod on the whole T.V./Monitor/Arcade VGA choice.
I am running a P5 500 WinXP system with 640 MB RAM and a 128 MB NVidia FX 5600 video card.  The video card has the standard monitor output, an S-Video output and another output that looks similar to the monitor output but it is white and silver.  I am assuming that this is a DVI output?
I can't seem to decide what to use in my cabinet:

1. A 19" PC Monitor
2. A 25" T.V. that will accept S-Video or the DVI
3.The Happs 25" Monitor, which I believe uses the standard PC Monitor output??

I have my CP done and I am starting the actual cabinet now.  In order for me to start the cabinet though, I need to know what size of viewing device I plan to use. What sort of consideration should I make before building my cabinet?

Your thoughts?
