Best place to get monitors?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Lilwolf:
There was a guy selling brand new 19" happs monitors shipped to your door for 200 bucks on ebay.

I thought it was a good price.  Had some Bensons for cheaper.

If your interested in that price range, I can look at home for the guys name and see if hes still selling more.

JoyMonkey:
ArcadeShop.com has 19" VisionPro monitors for $179 plus shipping.

Timstuff:
I'm working with a limited budget, and anything around the $150-$200 range would be considerable. But I'm still gonna need to figure out how to connect it to my PC without buying a special video card.

Depending on how much things end up costing, it may be cheaper and more effective to just go with a TV and one of those $50 cables to connect it to the PC. If it means having a larger screen for the same or a cheaper price, I might do that. But I'd like to see what kinds of authentic monitors are avalible too before I go out and spend all that money on what's one of the most important parts of the cab.

SirPeale:
Go with a real arcade monitor.  You won't be sorry.

What size are you looking at?

Timstuff:
I don't want to go any smaller than 19", but the cabinet I build will probably be sized to house one that's about 23"-25".

Also, is there a way to connect a monitor to a PC using a normal video card? If I can subtract that extra $50 that I'd be spending on an adapter cable, I could more easily justify spending that extra money on a monitor.
