Title: How Bad Does an coaxial TV hookup look?
Post by: toasty on January 11, 2006, 03:08:52 pm

I'm probably going to use a TV in lieu of an arcade or computer monitor for my cab.  I have an older (9 yrs) 27" TV lying around that is in good shape, but it doesn't have an s-video input -- in fact, it only has a coaxial input.  I know I could always get a converter to connect the video card s-video out to the coax in, but I'm concerned that it will look terrible.

Has anyone tried this/seen it?  I'd like to save the $250 I'd spend on a new TV, but not if it's going to look like utter hell...

I second that.
