What type of connectors does it have?  I believe you will be limited to 480i (ie. flicker) if you go the DVI to component dongle route.

How was the presentation monitor connected?  RGB?  If so, I think you will be disappointed going from CGA/RGB to component.  Also I'm not sure what benefit the high def signals will give you seeing as how most arcade games are CGA resolution.  I imagine it will be similar to running the games on a PC monitor.
