Makvision 25" tri-mode (automatic) power up?
« on: June 26, 2012, 10:47:02 am »
Planning to get that monitor for my Mame cab :) Video signal is a piece of cake, but I cannot find info on how the monitor is turned on? Some auto-sensing stuff? My cab has a power switch, which is wired to the mobo of my pc in the front. Something similar for the monitor, maybe?

In general, arcade monitors are on whenever power is applied to them.  There is no need to "turn them on".  Just apply power.

Thanks MonMotha :) Ok, I presume it would be wise to have an option to turn it actually off, when not in use? It's pretty easy to make a switch in the middle of the power cord and place it somewhere near the power switch for the pc :)
