Looks good to me, the specs say 15khz - 39khz, so it will support Arcade Standard Res up through VGA.  Looks like this is the "MegaView 29" model (27" viewable).  Here is another link http://www.mitsubishi-megaview.com/docs/service/disc/?id=megaview29.
Not sure how the dotpitch compares to something like the Betson Imperial...

No kidding! I'd take one off your hands if you really didnt have room for them or something crazy like that. (Serious offer though, I'll even pay shipping or some extra)

Holy CRAP.  I got it home about ten minutes ago.  She insisted I take the expensive foam lined shipping case, too.  I opened that sucker up and it's nearly perfect aesthetically.  I just have to find a way to get it fired up later on to see how it works... anyone want pics?

What kind of silly question is that?  Of course we want pics!   ;)

Tried to get pics but my digital camera may be failing... paid a lot of $$ for that thing, but that was in 1999.   :-\

WOW! Last time I saw one of these it was connected to a Telecine station (a $100,000 collection of nuts and bolts).

Jealous  >:(

Edit: TV studios use these and they're worth in excess of $3000 AU

Now in a tasty new flavour.
