OK, I've been kicking around the question of monitor in my head for a while as I've been planning my cabinet. I have high aspirations for this cabinet doing multiple duties. Obviously it will play MAME, but also function as a TV, run PS2 and/or Xbox and play computer games.
Now, I was considering using my 18" flat panel PC monitor with TV tuner, but I'd really like something bigger. However, I don't want to buy a $2000 20+" Monitor with tuner. So, I was thinking about a 25" TV using s-video or component video inputs. I've had read some of the problems with this solution and some of the benefits.
But, mostly I am wondering, how would this solution look for regular PC gaming??
Would PC games look decent on a TV screen through component video or s-video?
Any other issues to think about?
Thanks for any thoughts.
