Monitor? Arcade monitor or TV?

I would say... bigger is better.. hee hee.... (if your budget allows...) should look for 1 that has s-video input....

and if you're using it for your computer (mame)...

it'll be good if it turns off in the s-video mode... it'll turn back on in the s-video mode... (some cheap ones will go back to a channel...)

well... also.... although bigger is better... I think it'll be best if it'll fit inside your cab.... heee hee...  ;D :P

I'd say the number one option you need for a TV is auto-on after power off.

SO, if you cut the power to the TV, it will turn back on after the power comes on.

Otherwise, you will have to rig something up to turn it on when you turn everything else on.

All the stuff about auto-power-on and coming back to a particular channel is good advice, but when it comes to quality I've found my El Cheapo Apex 27 inch works great.  The video quality is just fine on all my games -- I even play vector games and don't have any serious problems.  Yes, a real arcade monitor or a PC monitor would be even better, but at this size I'd pay a heckuva lot of more money.  95% of what I run on the TV looks fantastic.

The price is right -- I got mine on Black Friday for $130.  I think they list for around $150, and you can often find them on sale for less.  Best quality TV?  No way.  Good enough for most MAME?  You bet.
