21" OEM PC Monitors $50
Karman:
My knowledge on scan rates, etc. has reached its limit so I can use some advice before I order one of these.
When I run a classic game on my pc, the monitor "clicks" and seems to change the scan and/or refresh rate. The games (even verticals like Galaga) look great. They don't have the perfect arcade look with scan lines, etc. but they look perfect in the way of not missing any lines, filling up the screen, etc. What exactly is the monitor doing to change the scan and/or refresh rate and what is coming into play in the way of hardware stretching? I was under the impression that the monitor (being "multisync") was bumping down to emulate 15khz somehow. I know it doesn't actually run at 15khz like the WG 9200 does, but what is the monitor doing when it "clicks"?
And a question for anyone that owns one of these 21" KDS monitors - how do vertical games look on it?

ms pacman (granted not perfect photography, but... should be enough to answer your question re:vertical games, no?)
I've got dig dug screenie somewhere (but not in my gallery...) i'll dig it up... (no pun intended) and post it.
mr do old crappy bezel no tint slightly fuzzy (250k jpgs -- was just dumped there never bothered to resize... )
note that technically the software scanlines are going the "wrong way"

Karman:
Thanks Jerry and rampy - I'm going to give it a go.
Iori:
Anyone who has one of these mind measuring how much space is between the bottom of the case and the screen on this monitor? I think that it is just a little bit too big for my mini cab... :'( But hoping that I could squeeze it in there if there is enough room at the bottom there.... :D Thanks...

These things are monsters. I am not at home to measure mine right now, but the real size issue with these is depth.
