Lacie Electron Blue 22" Monitor (Thoughts?)
« on: May 25, 2011, 05:19:47 pm »
Edit: So I found a 22" Lacie Electron Blue III Monitor for $50 locally. Think it is worth the upgrade for another inch? Must be a better monitor than the Sony I am guessing too.

____

So I got my hands on a free 24" Sony trinitron monitor tonight. Currently I have a 20" Sony VGA monitor in my arcade cab to hook up my Dreamcast to, as you can see here:



I have the room for the 24" TV if I decase it. But of course I will be trading the high resolution of the VGA monitor.

What would you do?

VGA all the way.  I just bought a VGA monitor for one my Dreamcasts...  so much better than composite.

ya that is what I am leaning towards, just need to find a bigger monitor! So much empty space in there.

Is that a CRT or LCD?

Do it.  The DC will look NICE on that.
