Which monitor?
« on: August 23, 2004, 09:46:26 pm »
Sorry for the newbie question but I am trying to figure out which monitor to get for my cab. It is a 33" from SlikStik and basically I am completly stumped about what kind of monitor to get. I have been told Makvision, WG 9200, Pentranic, and Happ, the problem is I have no idea what the differences are between these brands and have no idea what the major differences would be for a dork like me. Can one of the more enlightened folk help me out? Basically I want something easy to configure with my SlikStik, that will play all Mame games and possibly play PC games or most likely a console. Is there a particular kind of monitor I should look for or get? The whole VGA CGA EGA thing really throws me for a loop as does the refresh rate +/- 15 etc. Basically I want a big honkin monitor that will fit into my cab and allow me to play some awesome legacy games as well as Madden 2K5 with my friends. Is that even possible?

Any help, any advice would be wonderful I am completely open for any suggestions or things I need to be aware of etc.

Thank you very much!
